So the Rugby World Cup quarter finals are decided.Some cracking games to come over the next few weeks.
Really looking forward to this weeks matches, Ireland v Wales which are the 2 most in-form teams at present.Being Irish I think we're going to shade it by 4 points.It's such a shame that we had to meet so early.I'm very nervous of Wales. Match is on at 6 a.m. which is a right pain in the arse.Too early to go to the pub so might have to go out drinking Friday night and get locked in through the night and keep drinking until the match starts.
England v France is another close one to call. Neither team have set the pool stages alight(France especially)... England to win by 6.
South Africa v Australia...Another close one to call.I can see Australias' back line coming to the fore and grinding out a result to win by 8
New Zealand v Argentina...Anything other than a New Zealand win would be a major shock.The will miss Dan Carter immensely,but with home advantage and their sheer physicality and skill they should have enough.It will be close enough up to half time.Kiwis leading by 8 but they will pull away in the second half to win by 18.
So that would make the semi finals
England v Ireland...Ireland to win by 12
Kiwis v Australia...Kiwis to win by 12
Ireland v Kiwis final...My heart says Ireland but sadly New Zealand to win by 10.
Anybody else watching it and what are your predictions.
