Default Rugby World Cup Prediction Game - QUARTER FINALS

I'm back!! Sorry about KOTB but I've been babysitting my folks for the past week so surf time has been limited. Thankfully, they have now gone!!! KOTB will be updated over the weekend

So - bad week for the celts last week, although the kilts just scraped through. England have their bags packed and flights booked whilst we all wait to see if NZ can choke yet again.

RULE CHANGE

To make it a bit interesting in the final phases and as the games become a bit harder to predict, now you get 10 points for predicting the winning team as well as 7 for the margin and 10 for the correct score - 27 points in total.

So, here goes:


Sat 6 Oct

Australia v England
New Zealand v France

Sun 7 Oct

South Africa v Fiji
Argentina v Scotland

Sun 7 Oct

South Africa v Fiji 38 - 15
Argentina v Scotland
26 - 14

It seems a bit grim for the Northern hemisphere teams, with Great Britain as an entity growing apart , a british team is not on the cards either.
Personally i hope France thrash ABs (again), they are just the most arrogant team ever, Allez Chabal, claquez les tous noirs !

Even though I have to be at work at 8am on Sunday I am staying up drinking booze and hoping that the English will turn over the Aussies. Don't think they will but everyone seems to have written them off. I think we've ( I'm English by the way), just been kidding you all on and we will come out tonight and stun you all. Then again maybe I have been drinking to much?
