Like it, but think it's very unlikely. Might as well call the whole thing off after the Wallabies beat Wales in the preliminary round.

If you bet on each of those results to transpire and kept investing your winnings you'd end up with a lot of money at the end of the tournament if they all came to fruition!

It's a hard group, and if it was played in the southern hemisphere, Australia would be top of the group. If we were in that group, I wouldn't blame people for predicting we won't get past it.

Joined. Feeling a bit outnumbered between all the yellow jerseys.

Could I share another Superbru pool here? It's my colleague's, and it's pretty popular over here, 55 sign-ups so far. Normally when the tournament starts and everyone accepted invites, it is more than 100, it was around 130 for Super Rugby IIRC.

1) England
2) Australia

1) South Africa
2) Samoa - Scotland are done as a world force

1) NZ
2) Argentina

1) Ireland
2) France

Australia vs South Africa - SA are too old
NZ vs France - fingers crossed
Ireland vs Argentina - Argentina will try hard.
England vs Samoa - golden run will end here

Australia vs NZ - fingers even more crossed
Ireland vs England - sadly probably the poms will do it

NZ vs Ireland - 2 in a row baby!

Even though I could easily see NZ getting knocked out by France thereby allowing the aussies to win the whole thing.

SH sides to prevail. Not sure about the final result.

While I am obviously in the Wallabies camp, all I am thinking right now is anyone, and I mean anyone, except England to win the big dance.

True story: My best mate and I went on the '07 RWC tour, and we sold our tickets to the final because neither of us could deal with watching SA or England win.

 

[Miggie]

Not many prepared to put their views forward prior to the comp.

The Darkness will swallow up all before it in a manner that will give Hawking his jolliest of jollies.

Who is crushed, in what order, and by what magnitude, is irrelevant.
