[QUOTE="nik, post: 758248, member: 12284"] Going into the quarter finals, I wonder how fresh both these teams will be. They have some injury issues, but what about mentally? They have played some tough games in the last 3 weeks. Does a tough pool put them in good stead going deeper into the competition? Australia will be confident, plus they probably have the easiest QF games. They possibly could rest the likes of Folau and Pocock if they are not fighting fit, maybe bench roles? Having been the form team, they could be their worst enemy if complacency or over confidence creeps in. Wales, well they are the most injury hit team in the RWC. South Africa's form has improved after their embarrassing loss to Japan. I fear Wales are physically banged up, however if they are still keeping pace with South Africa for 65 minutes of the game I believe Wales can beat South Africa. Boks having the lead have lost 3 games this year in the last 15-20 minutes, I think that's a concerning stat. [/QUOTE]
