Sa - Aus it is then... sigh... the Aussies mess everything up...

[Shamirr]

Dan Carter is OUT, for the rest of the WC!!!!!!! NZ are still dangerous but Carter is the biggest blow they could of gotten... Man and I was mourning the loss of Steyn, he's a important player to the Boks but not like Carter is to the Ab's...

[Shamirr]

With Carter out this WC no longer has a favourite! Aus and SA are looking good, NZ looks to be rampant but Carter loss changes that, Wales and England also look dangerous. It's all up in the air now...

[Shamirr]

Bakkies Out of the aus game... We really didn't need that; Aus are already in better form and are massive favs for this one, so whyTF is Murphey kicking us when we are down?

Prediction for QF's

Ireland v Wales

England v France

Australia v South Africa

New Zealand v Argentina

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

New Zealand will choke

The aussies will win it

[TheRedStag]

If New Zealand do choke in the Semi's, then Ireland will have an easier final!

Ireland will win this world cup.

[Magricos]

If NZ lose I don't think it will just be about choking I just don't think Slade isn't ready although they are still considered favourites but I don't think they will win the WC.

hmmm... Gotta agree with this, however I do think that this is one of the most unpredictable QF's since I've been watching rugby... All the QF's can go either way. Wales are dark Horses, Fance are inconsistent but on their day brilliant, SA have a solid pack and with our exp anything can happen, and NZ have all the pressure on them plus no carter. I know people are all like "he's a great player but there are a lot of great players in that team" and that's totally true, but it should not be underestimated how much of NZ's play is dictated by him, and maybe Slade steps up but from what i've seen he may just Crumble... So considering that and considering NZ does tend to struggle against hard hitting teams (in knock-out rugby) that qf may also go against the tide.

What ever happen it's gonna be an awesome weekend!

If Argentina and Aus were to win it will make my day.

Time for the knockout rounds Ireland vs Wales.

Ireland vs Wales is great so far.

[Shamirr]

Ireland are paying for playing irresponsible rugby. This game should be 10 -9. Wales are doing a great job but really I have no idea why Ireland decided not to kick... Hopefully they wake up in the second half.

[Patrick Bateman]

Get innnnnnn

[Magricos]

Wales was great.

[Magricos]

Eng vs France in 50 mins.

[Shamirr]

Great game from Wales! However I do feel very sorry for O'Driscoll.

[Albiceleste]

Wales was very impressive.

[Magricos]

I had a feeling about France although their team has problems they are just so talented.

[Shamirr]

Yeah they are, but I do feel that Wales has the edge on them... Either wasy it was a good result for NZ, SA and Aus, I'd rather the SH teams face France in a final than England...

[Magricos]

Their coach still reminds me a little of Raymond Domenech.

[Shamirr]

that's true...

[Shamirr]

So psyched!!! Can't wait for tomorrow!!! I think it's pretty awesome that we are proper under dogs, means we can go all out! If Aus go through they must pay in blood and bones!!!
