RUGBY WORLD-CUP - QUARTER FINAL PREDICTIONS - your move...

Common, where are the Wallabbies, Kiwi's, English, Wales, French, Irish, Argentine's and Springbok supporters???

Jerome,
(btw - USA played good this RWC - their defence was much better than previous RWC - i was impressed with them)

I was thinking...rather than having everyone predict his score on this thread, and I am sure there are hundreds, if not thousands -of members interested and competitive with the final stages of this RWC (in NZealand)
Why don't you fix us a litle grid on "life outside hunting" on AH with the teams in their curent positions and let the members have a go at score predictions / wins?
It is going to get really-really hot from this weekend onwards with the below 8 teams in the quarter finals.

Quarter final (QF) play-offs for this weekend as follows:
QF 1.....Sat 8 Oct - Ireland vs Wales
QF 2.....Sat 8 Oct - England vs France
QF 3.....Sun 9 Oct - Springboks (RSA) vs Wallabies (AUS)
QF 4.....Sun 9 Oct - Kiwi's (NZ) vs Argentina

Weekend after that semi finals
QF 1 winner vs QF 2 winner.....Sat 15 Oct
QF 3 winner vs QF 4 winner.....Sun 16 Oct

Weekend after that - Final

Anyone seconding my proposal???

Although I very much like rugby, I don't get many opportunities to watch it and so cannot give an informed opinion as to the chances of the teams. But I am going to with Ireland vs. New Zealand in the finals, with the All Blacks winning it all!!

Ireland, England, Boks and AB's into the semis.
Bok's and AB's in the final!
I want a rematch from July Tri-nations game with the proper outcome!!

Would love it to be a SA vs NZ final but it cant happen should be a Epic semifinal between the two teams though, I predict a England vs NZ final, I do hope Ireland make it though.

Yeah I know, just dreaming.

Glad to see i have some rugga-buddies here

Ok here goes my predictions / scores, from the head, not my heart:
QF - Wales takes Ireland 25 / 16
QF - England takes France 19 / 15
QF - Bokke takes Wallabies 21 / 19
QF - AB's takes Argentina 35 / 15

SF - Wales takes England 15 / 9
SF - Bokke takes AB's 19 / 13

Final - Bokke win Wales 25 / 9

Would like to see the Springbok's win, but, have heard, not seen, New Zealand has a strong team. Let's go Bok's.

..I agree with three of your QF predictions,however,I can't see Wales pulling it off over Ireland..!

Watched a game in a pub in SA last month and the crowd was very lively.

When the next Boks game is played in the RWC find a pub with some South Africans watching and you'll see lively.

Yeah Docman, like i said - my predictions was from my head.
If i went with my heart i would have loved it to be England vs Ireland and Bokke vs Kiwi's in the Semis, and Bokke vs Ireland final....but that is dreaming i guess.

Well I will say this if NZ does not win the world cup this year they will never win it LOL again, go Bokke we know what it takes to win a world cup twice and that should be enough!

Best Regards

LOL fhm3006, Oops, Maybe you should have gone with your heart. Come on Aussies. I think maybe Australia vs New Zealand in the finals.

Go the Wallabies 11-9. Bad luck Bokke, see you next time

I think the Bokke fans are hiding under the bed. LOL

Kiwis - who else?!?

Wallabys.

Can we come out yet....?

I tell ya'all...i am in mourning since yesterday.
I am done predicting rugby scores - i have more 'hits' with hunting.

We (bokke) controlled every facet of the game for the entire game, i am still in shock that we did not score at least 2 tries which were 'givens'. I will not use the referee as an excuse - Wallabies made use of every single opportunity and deserve to win, but oh brother - there were some refereeing in that game which I saw last when i played rugby in primary school - no really.

Well done to the Wallabies!
Good luck with the game Saturday vs Kiwi's.
