Well, there were some bright moments and some disappointing moments in closing out the pool stages.
First off, to everyone's disappointment Wales did not beat the ozzees. So they face the cheap shot meat eaters on Saturday. In addition, everyone's favorite team (France) lost in poor form to the sharper looking Irish. So everybody's favorite team will face the team protected by referees or criminal gambling syndicates - Newe Zeelund - on Saturday as well. I think Wales has a shot at a victory, but everybody's favorite team has been yoked with the worst coach to ever show up for any team in any RWC, so I don't see them advancing beyond the QF. Although PSA sucks enough to ensure defeat, I still have a feeling that some gambling syndicate referee will affect the outcome - just like 2011.
Secondly, it was great to see the Scots own their destiny and take Samoa down to advance without any help from other pool teams. I'm not optimistic about them overcoming the ozzees, but I might just pray to Wotan tonight to provide a good outcome for them. In addition, the one solid win I will predict is Ire v Arg. Sure the Argies have provided some problems for Ireland going back several RWCs, but I like the clover boys this time. It's too bad Schmidt wasn't there from 2003 - 2011.
Thirdly (do not pronounce this if you are Irish), who are you English folks voting for now? I would imagine that it is France because you are thankful that William the Conqueror brought polysyllabic words to that bogland. But, I guess you never know.
Here's my predictions...let's hear yours!
Cheap Shot Boks 17 - 24 Wales
NZ 34 - 17 France
Ireland 31 -15 Arg
Ozzees 36 - 18 Scotland
Siog, I saw your message in the last thread and I hope the happiness continues for you guys on the Emerald Isle!!
