LOL.....
now that Canada is out of the World Cup you need to have interest in another Nation for sure.!
ive only watched bits of the World Cup as a passing interest as im a cricket and football guy(football as in 'real' football!)...
and I think at the moment id put my money on on the same country as Jerome....New Zealand, but I think the Aussies and Springboks
are nipping at their heels.

World Cup Rugby:

after three weeks of group play-offs the quarter finals begin this weekend,
those games are as follows:

South Africa v Wales
New Zealand v France
Ireland v Argentina
Australia v Scotland

so anyone who follows the Rugby....

are Argentina and Scotland really that good Rugby Nations?
or were they sort of dark horses whose results around them helped them get through, especially Argentina????

[Jerome]

Don't underestimate Argentina - very tough and physical side. My guess is that Australia or NZ will get to the final - possibly Ireland as well. Can't see SA making it, however much I would like to see them win a third WC, but they got a lot of lucky calls against the USA. Wales is the dark horse IMO. But a rubgy ball is not a perfectly shaped thing. One wrong bounce and it gets into the hands of the opposition - that's all it takes to change the game.
