I say All blacks and Boks look good so far, we will see if Ireland can last the distance.
I'm waiting for the Aussie vs boks game.
did ya see what we did to Namibia? Cricket score!
-
England v France
South Africa v Australia
Ireland v Wales
New Zealand v Argentina
Interesting that both the northern and southern hemispheres are represented equally. And will have teams in the final. But who?
-
Yeah, that match up does look rather sinister and planned, equally represented yet seperate, forcing a north vs south final.
I'm very concerned that my boks are not gonna defend their title, Australia may be more than they can handle right now.
I believe Ireland should progress into Semi's and the All blacks are a no brainer.
England vs France is gonna be a great game, as well as SA vs Australia too difficult to call.
-
Not sure about beating the Welsh. They're a quality side with a lot of talented youths.
Injuries are key from here on in too. Aussie backline are missing some experienced heads.
Commentators here say it'll be England v New Zealand final. I want Ireland v South Africa
-
Ireland go out
So do England. As Phil Vickery said 'Let the autopsy begin'
Actually the Ireland Wales match was very deflating. Wales just too energetic and had skilled player in every position. Ireland couldn't keep with the pace of the Welsh. Well done Wales a deserved victory
As for England, they looked like they might make a comeback in the second half but a late surge from the French kept them quiet.
-
Sorry about that mate, really. I expected Ireland to cruise this encounter.
I expected England to choke, especially against France...history is a bitch.
So now it's South Africa's chance, personally I have my doubts, I believe we will lose but hope for a win, even if we do win we get to face the in-form All blacks afterwards.

Gee, Wales were impressive.... sorry Rich.
Bring it on Pete!!!!!

Sorry Pete, although it was tight in the end.....
bring on the Kiwis!! -
SA dominated the Aussies but still managed to lose.
Well done to Aus your defense won the game, really disappointed but we went out playing really well so cant complain about that!
-
Ah crap!, I had the feeling this would happen.
Good luck Aussies, yer next game is gonna be another hard one.
-
you're right, Dazza; it wasn't our most dominant performance although Pocock lead from the front....
-
All Blacks were good against the Argies. Weepu was immense. This stage of the cup it's all about the injuries. So it's anyones trophy.
Though I'd love to see Wales do it. Super talent
-
Surprise package of the tournament, Rich.

NZ - Aus semi.
Not sure how to call that one although my gut says NZ will take it.
Looks like it may be a NZ - Wales final (unless the French show up in the right frame of mind).
Still very interesting!!!
-
I think you're onto something there, Dazza.

yESSSSSSSSSSSS
I was down town in Auckland at party central with 80k other Oz and Kiwi fans.
Watching the game on a HUGE out door screen. The game was great, but the crowds were amazing. In such great spirits. Lots of handshakes and pats on the back with the opposition fans. Awesome atmosphere. Will really
miss the World Cup when it comes to the end.
