Probably Ireland or New Zealand in the semis, hope its Ireland due to the way they play and all the pressure as favourites would be on them and i do not fancy us in the least against the All Blacks. [Post edited 25 Sep 2023 18:07]

The Irish are incredibly so.

Wales could beat them however | |

Wales have better than evens chance of making the semis but it will end there.
I’ve shown how astute I am on this thread with my predictions so far so take my prediction whichever way you want😂 | |

You’re the leader UJ.
We could beat the Irish IMO. But have to be as streetwise.
I have a feeling however The All Blicks are under the radar now and will be hurting bedly.
They’ve always “ cheated” as fire boy suggests | |

New Zealand 96 v Italy 17 tonight , but putting aside the hope of Wales doing well .
Seems there are serious gulfs in the standards during this Competition , it is as the name suggests The World Cup of Rugby , but only 3/4 teams can be contendenders from the start .
Italy , and so many other Nations waffle on about the learning curve , we will improve etc .
Need this standard to help our going forward plan .
Think the remark by the commentators on the recent Wales v Wallabies match mentioning Austrailian Rugby Union is falling down the go to sport on that Continent is not good .
On a similar theme , it looks as if the youngsters in the Caribbean / West Indies are now more in love with NFL and Baskekball than cricket , a loss to their cricket history . | | | |

Either Italy rung the changes for the game cause they didn't expect to win or NZ were simply on a different rugby plant last night, they were awesome in that first half and after 10/15 mins into the that 2nd half.
Italy's resilience to keep going and to end up having the last word with their try right the end is commendable in fairness. | |

Morning Ste
Not a good watch that as a contist but anyone writing off the ABs is nuts.
I feel they will beat Orland ,then Wales then beat the Bokke ,which ,let’s face it,is a nice thought . | |

I said earlier never write off the ABs but as a team they've always had the knack of obliterating Second Tier nations.
If Wales play them , they will beat us with a bit to spare. | | | |

Morning Toggy.
Yep,we have a mintal issue when we play them.I can remember us getting very close but they find a way,often by cheating,eg,Andy Hayden’s line out dive out.
That said, I find South Africans ,at least the Afrikaners) totally insufferable .
I’m on a site purely to point out they have nothing to be arrogant or even proud about . If we d had a Rugby World Cup up,to the early 80s,they wouldn’t be in it alt all due to their isolation because of world wide revulsion at their social and political system of terror which their players gladly endorsed.The likes of Dawie de Villiers a classic example . | |

Was watching the sweaties blasting Romania into obscurity, but I've given up on that now, luckily there's boxing on Sky Sports to watch. | |

Australia v Portugal wasn't a bad contest, Portugal played well, but just couldn't score the points their play probably deserved.
Ref made some odd decisions though. | |

Saffies v Tonga is a decent contest, fair play, there are some massive lumps on show to, with plenty of proper collision's  | |

Biggar is looking good for a quarter final return. I like Anscombe an able replacement, Personally I would have given Zammit a rest, Or a bench place. He has been a revelation this world cup, game changer, | |
