[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1152605, member: 74121"] I'm glad the strong half of the draw has worked out this way for the QFs. I think the French pack will compete much better against the Boks than NZ would (especially interesting if SA go with conservative tactics/selection which will let the average French defence off the hook). I think the NZ backs will pose a bigger threat to the superb Irish defence than the French ones would. Flip those fixtures around and I think you would be looking at routine wins for Ireland and South Africa whereas I only make them about 70% favourites and probably by just 10-20 points. England's route to the semifinal is lamentable. I fully expect a comfortable win against a Muntzless Fiji. I've not fully given up on Argentina, but not far off it. I think they are almost as likely to lose to Japan as they are to beat Wales. [/QUOTE]
