I will most likely merge the RWC thread into this one when the RWC is finished... coz the other one is a poll.

I think all teams that finished 3rd in their pool qualify for 2019.

The good news (assuming you're Australian, and interested in sport): the Wallabies should make the Rugby World Cup final.

The bad news? They'll probably lose it to arch rivals New Zealand. But it's likely to be close.

At least that's how the quantitative analysts at Macquarie see things playing out.

Their model incorporates data such as historical scores, changes in world rankings and betting odds to measure variables that will be well known to investors, such as momentum, sentiment and value. In truth you probably didn't need to do a rigorous quantitative analysis to reach this conclusion.

In any case Macquarie's quant model, did successfully predict the outcome of 32 of the 40 games played so far. And for what its worth, a similar analysis of the FIFA World Cup by Macquarie last year accurately predicted Germany as the winner of that gigantic event.

The bookies agree with exactly that same result.

Always throw France in there for an upset. Lets not forget they lost 2 pool games in the last World Cup, and nearly beat the kiwis in the final

Wales messed up there. Too much crap kicking. Should have rolled the phases.
