Cook Islands should bag this one, having a few NRL-ers in the squad.

Another Haka variation for the finals if they triumph....lots of thigh slapping and arm pumping to look forward to! ?

Nothing against the Cook Is who it would obviously be amazing for if they make it but I hope USA win to (hopefully) help the game grow over there. That said I think Cook Is win by about 20 points.

Not a fan of the Cook Islands being seperate from NZ neither in our WC.

They’re members of FIFA, World Rugby and the IOC. It would be weird if they didn’t compete separately in RL.

I was about to say I'm fine with having cook islands as a separate team when we have Niue as well which is a tiny island, then I looked it up and found Niue is actually bigger than the cook islands! Niue's population is a lot smaller though, in relative terms. 

Anyway, would prefer the USA to win but think Cook Islands will find it pretty easy to be honest.

I know its just my opinion, but I just see the Cook Islands like Yorkshire or Queensland, rather than a standout Country.

Niue are actually a rl nation, they've recently played some tests.

I don't think USA has a chance. Less than 1%.

I think the USA losing will actually see a better result. Heads will roll. They might actually try to improve as an organisation.

I don’t have any connection to USA RL but I sense something is amiss.

The Cooks will win easily enough I predict.

It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course.

It takes reasonableness to end that discussion.

Cooks to win I wish it would be the USA though for the excitement they bring. Do like the Cooks also.

"Shake hands, we shall never be friends, all’s over;
I only vex you the more I try.
All’s wrong that ever I’ve done or said,
And nought to help it in this dull head:
Shake hands, here’s luck, good-bye. "

You need to get a life mate

"I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel"
