Marco Bortolami (Italy)

Bortolami, Italian rugby's figurehead, would have taken one look at his country's qualifying pool - and then immediately targeted a quarter-final place.

While Pool C contains tournament favourites the All Blacks, considerably lesser challenges in Scotland, Romania and Portugal also await Bortolami and company.

Italy has never reached the last eight of a Rugby World Cup, but with Gloucester lock Bortolami spearheading its bid, it could prove a tournament for them to savour.
