Ill probably watch the main matches, none of the group ones. I think All Blacks will win it, they have so much strength in every position and have been on great form for a couple of years.

No Ireland ??????



I want Scotland to win, but i guess the all blacks are the ones to beat.

Ireland would have been the next team i put up...

The all black are good, but they choke in the world cup.

I'm definitely all for South Africa, our back line is going to be vicious now that Eddie Jones has been helping out...

On form it must be the All blacks but the Springboks have improved a great deal in the last 18 months and could pinch it. England are in a mess and will do very well to get to the last 4, we wasted 2 years after becoming champions and the new guys havent really come on as hoped.

well done Scotland a bit scrappy at times but none the les a wins a win.
Scotland 56 Portugal 10

i did make a mistake in my 1st post.
Australia scored 91 and not 84, i must of missed the last try. :oops:
the paddy`s struggled against Namibia. i thought they would of battered them.

Oh, I wonder... Walabies, duh. Gotta love them.

I hope to God that Johnny Wilkinson isn't playing for the English again if it comes down to Aussie vs England again, but I don't think so..

Anyway. Firth, go away.

Gethine you must have been worried there for a while...

My scottish friend and I think now would be a god time to stick a few quid on france. 7/2 to reach the final and 9/1 to win it. They have always been the same - some days they just don't turn up at all. But they will. And NZ will bottle it at some point, as ever.
