Not very convincing.

I like how the Ireland and France game, will be the winner doesn't face New Zealand!

Rugby Union: England v Australia, in England (right at home in Twickenham), attendance 81,010

Rugby League: Broncos v Cowboys, in Sydney (with both teams from QLD), attendance 82,758

Interesting...

And what a great game too - probably the best league game I have ever watched, period. :)

So oddschecker.com which scans the betting websites has the following

New Zealand 6/5
Australia 3/1
South Africa 15/2
Ireland 10/1
France 14/1 (a few spare coins here could yield a result)
Wales 20/1

and my personal favourite

Argentina 40/1 (definitely worth a lazy tenner here)

This article appeared today.There's some good sense here, but being an Aussie rag I wouldn't read too much into Australia component of the article.

With a Welsh origin surname and an Irish Mother, we wouldn't be saying no.

A feisty affair.

Can't believe Canada lost to Romania. I thought for most of that match they were going to win comfortably!
