Great job Austin.

Now you will have me going to bed two hours late tonight so I can arse around with this

Wow, that really highlights the relative strength of the pools. South Africa and England have tougher pools than Australia and New Zealand IMO. Can't wait to see the islanders and boyos smash the Boks and the Argies and Scots stick it up the Poms. However a slip up in the pool games could see us playing the Saffas in the quarters, which would make our road significantly tougher - SAF, ENG, NZ back-to-back to bring home Bill. I won't count us out but I can't see our forwards having anything left in the tank for the Darkness if we manage to beat up the other two. Alternatively a run of WAL-FRA-SAF would be very agreeable. Almost as soft as the Saffers run in 2007!

Very cool, Austin. I got Wallabies v Blackness in the final.

I expect most people do. Although I hope this RWC throws up a few surprises like the last one did (although it's our turn for an easy ride this time...).

Can't believe it's 9 days away.

Great stuff Austin. If you released this on as an Android Ap you would have made a fortune!

The path there was interesting though. Short tournament for Wales though. Maybe. ???

An actuarial firm has turned their mind to the RWC predictions:

Unsurprisingly, a wobbs- all blacks final is most statistically likey with AB's most likely to win. Lies, damned lies and statistics and all that.

I tested the absolute limits of my knowlege to build this and learnt a lot along the way - I have absolutley no idea how to create an app for anything! Making money out of the hours I spend on rugby - that would be good!

That is bloody awesome - well done. It's also alerted me to something...

Reasonable chance of an Aus vs France SF....!

 

[cyclopath]

That's what I got, MR

Dunno, I reckon Wales could be up for this tournament. Can't see them getting past you in a QF but could see them upsetting SA in the pool and ending up top of their group, giving them Ireland in the QF. I think the likelihood of them falling to Samoa and Fiji this time is pretty remote.

Pool D is definitely the one that will most likely have greatest impact on the match ups in the knock out phases. Bonus poitns could well decide the ordering

Which one of us is the online tool and how do I contact him?

I got a Wob v Samoa qtr final, a Wob v Pom semi final (and Saffa v Darkness semi), with a Wobs v Darkness final.

All three of those Wallaby games scare the shit out of me.....Really.

 

[Richo]

I reckon Wales is gonna get done by Samoa. I bloody hope so, anyway, since I'll be at the game.

 

[Nusadan]

With odds of 40 to 1 offered for Saffies to not to make the quarter final still floating around, it is looking attractive given that Samoa and Wales are certainly not pushovers ...
