      Australia somehow beat the Springboks. It's as well I didn't put money on any of the games.

      They had plenty of old timers last time out which is what got them through to the final in France. But this time they had too many players who just got lost when the going got tough. They had no leaders. In France they had leaders when it mattered. Lawrence Dallaglio and Mike Catt especially. This time round they had too much immaturity displayed you could argue in their off field actions.
      The best player for England just happened to be the youngest man in the team,the young Island lad.I think a vintage Johnnie Wilkinson could of won them the game but I think that could of been the last time he will play for England.

      Australia got out of jail in this match,they were very lucky to come away with a win,I will not try and predict the result of the semifinal between Aussie and New Zealand next week,it should be a cracker.

      New Zealand will, as much as i hate to say it, win comfortably i think. I did think that in '03 as well though :D Our side was better then mind you.

      bigv it is always difficult to pick a winner between Australia and New Zealand as both countries are so committed in whatever sport they play.As regards World Cup winners it could be worth putting a few bob on Wales.

      I wont. As per always with every sport our country is involved in we bottle the favourites tag. There was a world cup to be won there and we diddnt turn up against Wales.

      Angered me today on the radio saying plaudits still coming in for Irelands excellent world cup!! 1 good win. We'd have expected to win the other 4 so the 1 game hard to call, 50/50 we lose, whats to be proud of?

      This country needs to stop patting itself on the back for doing "ok" or for moral victories. Other countries wouldnt be so greatful to teams who actually win things as we are to teams who get to the last 8

      Underdogs. It's the only time we ever perform. Once the pressure of expectation comes on they rush everything and make stupid mistakes. Pain in my hole with it. Golden generation for us in rugby and we forget how to play rugby after going level with Wales. I hear people saying. . . France/Leinster winning cheered them up. F**k that off. We bottled it when it mattered. . . Again

      Well that was some weekend wasnt it.

      I predicted NZ, England, Wales and Sth Africa.

      Being an England supporter I was gutted to see us knocked out but lets be honest we didnt deserve to win that match. We got penalised too many times at scrum time again and didnt match France in any aspect of the game. I agree its now time for Jonno to start building for 4 years time and ditch the old guard.

      Wales got the win I expected them too and are reallty playing some excellent stuff. Wales biggest enemy will be their own self belief - I expect them to beat France but they seem to have a mental block when playing the SH sides.

      How the F**k did Australia win that match....Bryce Lawrence was watching a different game and once again was awful. NZ v OZ will be a great match and I think NZ will edge it but you never know with these damn Aussies - they are quite capable of getting the result and their self belief has to be admired....(that hurts saying that from an englishmans perspective!)

      Im going for Wales v NZ in the final.

      Was funny before watching Huw Edwards brow-beating the sports reporter on BBC News 24 on who he would be supporting now in the World Cup.

      Eventually the reporter said "Wales"

      Followed up with "Is the right answer" by Huw.

      Classic.
