Barrs Court Red Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 Scotland collapsing quicker than the SNP. I expected this to be a much closer match than ultimately it has been, though I suppose the injuries havnt helped. Ireland look absolutely imperious- can they finally break the QF hoodoo? You wouldn’t bet against it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTone Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 Fully expected a big Tonga win but at half time and nothing to play for other than self respect Romania are making a game of it. Fair play to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All level now Portugal have impressed all tournament, drew with Georgia, it took Wales until the last minute to pick up a bonus point against them and they caused the Aussies a few problems too.

MichaelRobartes Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 That was one of the best games of the pool stage. World Rugby need to start taking their responsibilities seriously and start giving the tier 2 sides proper funding and meaningful matches. The game has been ringfenced for too long. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 That was such a great watch. Both teams made mistakes but both tried to play go forward attacking rugby from the very start. While Fiji will be disappointed to lose they still qualified to play England in the QF and Portugal get their first ever win at the world cup. They did themselves proud and can't that winger half shift. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTone Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Ok, so its the business end of the tournament this weekend so here's my predictions: 1) Wales vs Argentina ....................... Argentina to edge this one 2) Ireland vs New Zealand .................... will be close but Ireland for me 3) England vs Fiji ................. Don't be fooled by the Fijians after yesterdays game. Fiji win. 4) France vs South Africa ....................... will be another close one but home advantage will see France go through 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. NZ could easily turn us over. People say that sport has no memory, but we've never been past a QF and this may not be the best NZ team ever but they've more than enough if we're off it. I'd never write SA off either. I think we were the better side against them but they could've beaten us at the end. I think England and Wales should be alright but you never know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
