No worries , I,m still trying to tempt the better half to go to the game , if the weather holds it should be a big weekend in wellington.
 
With just over 12 hours to go my picks wil be:

Irish to beat wales; as I just do not think Wales have enough of the instinct to win big games. They could not do it against the Boks

England to beat France; I just think the French coach has lost the plot with his selections and lost the respect of the team. He has already been sacked. (Disclaimer - A different French team could turn up and then we are doomed !!!)

Boks to beat Aussies; I think the Aussie's have too many injuries and the Boks know how to win in the RWC

NZ to beat Argentina; may be a bit closer than some think

If the French team arrive and leave the tunnel sobbing and crying you have a problem.
You just cannot tell with them. SA va ozz is too close to call but should be good.
Bit of a case of experience vs youth. Does seem that some of the Wallabies are a bit nervous. Not sure why or if it is just propaganda they beat us three times already this year.

Just as well they made a living on the Rugby field , some of those are as good as
David Tuas legendary "O for awesome" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaIZF8uUTtk
as for Murray Mexteds coments that would be the tip of the iceberg
 
Welsh through to the semis.

My predictions for the other games - France to roll England :)

Australia to wallop South Africa :)

Argies to upset NZ :)

Mick
 
Well Wales found their killer instinct after all !!!

Great defence and they took their few chances well; Irish must be disappointed after all that possession in first half to have so few points. They seemed to push it too hard at times.

Hope my predictions are better for next game .... come on England

Gazza
 
Both super games , Well done Wales and as Damian said [and all kiwis know] only france can
come back from 2 pool match losses and knock the English team out of the world cup.

So far so good..............;);)
Lets hope your good tipping continues.
 
Well the French played well in first half and we were awful; so much for coming out of the blocks.

I guess that is the unpredictable nature of knock-out rugby; tomorrow's games will be interesting

Gazza
 
How about France vs NZ in the final.
Won't that be something.
