Wales absolutely awesome, Ireland came up against a fired up and inspirational Welsh performance, they can go all the way and win it if they play like that!
England, have to realise that the game is more than the last half hour, they were really dreadful for 50 minutes, and then gave us a bit of hope, but TBH it didn"t matter whether we won or last that game cos the Welsh would have hammered us!
Come on Wales!

Therefore QF selections are IRE, ENG, AUS & NZ with a IRE vs AUS final (and may have a cheeky few quid on the 80 mins draw and extra time)


Get on SA & ARG tomorrow then...

Wales were outstanding and should be favourites to reach the final now - French played much better but England were woeful

Oh no... now I"m going to have to have £10 on the French just to even out the karma of James Edwards making us favourites to get to the final!! And I guess by your revised predictions for tomorrow"s quarter-finals it"s NZ or Australia for the other final berth.... quick.... revise your revised predictions... please don"t bok the Argies!

Unreal ... 76% territory ... dodgy penalty ... no high tackles given ... but in the end South Africa busy dropping the ball and passing the ball forward.

Next up Argentina +27.5 points at Even money ...

What an unfortunate turn of events. Down to 14 men for more than three-quarters of the match by a decision that was controversial to say the least. Wales provided a performance that reeked of passion and commitment, and I feel they were the better team for most of the game. However you can't miss three penalties, one conversion and two drop-goals at this level.

NZ can play pretty, they can play ugly but by God they can play Rugby. Richie Macaw time travels from ruck to ruck and because it took 2 Aussies to every All Black at the rucks, France will be overwhelmed I am thinking.
