The World Cup is the most sought after and recognised title in rugby. But is it really the hardest championship in the world to win? There is a growing argument that winning a Super 14 title is far harder.

Think about it. The World Cup may rate highly for prestige in that it is held only every four years, and the finals - this year to be hosted by France - are fought between 20 teams.

Is Super 14 harder to win than World Cup?

I don't think so. So much rests on the World Cup that it makes it much mentally tougher. Or is this just a kiwi view?

Is a problem with the All Blacks that they have become too afraid of losing and are always likely to choke at the knock-out stage of the World Cup?
