[QUOTE="nik, post: 758088, member: 12284"] I am predicting Ireland win here. I think there will be more of an edge to their performance purely based on the fact they want to avoid NZ in the QF at all costs. France do not fear NZ, they know they have the mental edge over NZ in knockout matches. Hence going into the match against Ireland I don't think France will be as desperate to avoid NZ. However France probably know by now that winning against NZ in QF/SF is not the same as winning the world cup. They would give themselves the best chance to win the RWC if they avoid NZ in QF. I have no doubt they can upset NZ again in the QF, but I do doubt they can win the following 2 games to win the RWC. [/QUOTE]
