Final for me will be
ABs vs Boks
----------------------------------------------------------------------
YOu don't fancy Oz to get to the final?
A lot of faith being shown to the AB's to reach the final considering they have seemed the least impressive of the 3 SH teams.

I have said from the start, the only team I fear in this tournament is Australia and even them were no match in the Bledisloe cup. The other teams not so much. Nothing I have seen so far has convinced me they have the quality to beat the AB. They may put up a fight like many teams have over the past few yeara but the quality and experience will eventually tell like if always does.

Totally agree with that assessment and every AB fan will say the same. However I expect them to raise their game in the KO stages althought there is still that lingering fear that they will get caught out eventually.

, but such a shame that the greatest warrior of them all had to finish his international career on a stretcher.
On your other point, OK so I was drinking early oday, but I would never back against my own team. That's what wins me the perennial wooden spoon in the predictor.
Of course you back your own team mate. We would all do the same even when logic goes against the prediction. Which explains why you and I picked Oz while the boys here backed England. Against logic
They're all having a pop now ain't they!
I think England has in the past employed mercs, but aside from Barritt (who shouldn't even be there on merit anyway) we are more legit than every other home nation. France and Scotland lead the way atm Show
We have 2 Aristo. One gone home injured tho. You guys git the ball rolling tho. Hey, there is talk of the residency rules being revised after the rwc, any more information on that?

I think you forget your fallen Messiah, or is he one of the Lincolnshire Tuilagis.
I'm guessing the brothers are the Hertfordshire Vunipolas as well.
alright guys, should be a cracking QF line up this, think they'll all be close games, looking forward to Ireland v Argentina the most, think thats got the potential to be a classic, think it was a 50/50 game before POC and O'Brian were out, but think that might just tip the scales in Argentina's favour, Wales vs SA, I'm going for a very tight Sprinboks victory, Australia should be a little more convincing against Scotland although it won't be 40 points and New Zealand will get past the French
Tuilagi came to England when he was 14 I think. Represented England at every level, that's fair enough I'm. Ma boy JJ got 13 nailed down anyway
Vunipolas are like gypsies. Could represent England, Wales or Tonga to be fair.

They (whoever it is) are not going to drop the firm OC in Europe. JJ wouldn't ever start on the wing because he isn't a winger.
I could see Tuilagi lining up at IC (as he did for the Lions) but that's the only way he will be starting in the 6N.

Btw Ding you got Garces for Argentina. They gave Barnes to the Wales game but I would have put him in charge of the NZ game just for a laugh.

hahahah well, i got to be honest, all of the above before Toite!
Also in the news, O'Brian got a 1 week ban. We lose him for Argentina. Provided we survive, he'll be back for the Semis.
However, and i know this is against what Guv believe, i think Argentina are straight up quality at the moment and playing pretty sweet rugby. Sort of the French way of playing from 20 years ago.
