RWC 2011 - QF Pick the Scores

[Hugh Jarse]

Game on for Paddy's bs Taffys. Tipping closed. Too late to enter for the four from four competition.

 

[matty_k]

Should we close the thread until after the last match this weekend?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Leave it open I reckon. I will only count those that got in early enough.

Plenty of time for others to Wang on between now and the Darkness/Pumas game.

QF 1 IRE v WAL - Wales by 12
QF 2 ENG v FRA - France by 9
QF 3 RSA v AUS - Australia by 8
QF 4 NZL v ARG - Darkness by 20

1/1, here's hoping the rest play out.

I've done the hard yards of spotting our frontrunner already. Just go back 3 posts.

No4918 looking good on a lay down mezzaire if Bokke do the unthinkable.

Isn't lay down mezzaire the one where you lose every hand

Unless used in gambling, where it becomes an expression of certainty.

Yes. Really surprised no one else picked Boks.

Just for the record i obviously hope the Wobs can knock them over. Given the weather is looking good in Wellington today i'm feeling more confident i got it wrong.

Other people did. I just think they also picked the Irish and/or the English, working on the presumption that defensive sides do better in World Cups.

[Jnor]

I'd just like to give my thanks to Hugh Jarse for running this event, I think it was a showpiece for G&GR and it was a pleasure to be involved. Full credit to hardtackle, he gave a 110 per cent and thoroughly deserved the win. You'd always like the win but at the end of the day I think we can be satisfied with Jnor's effort and look forward to coming back bigger and better next time we run out.

 

[Hardtackle]

Thanks Jarse.

Where do I pick up my free tickets to all remaining games?

 

[Ironingman]

Thanks HJ for putting it all together, no shame in finishing behind Hardtackle and Jnor. Sadly we just left a few points out on the park today and you can't afford to do that at this level....
