[QUOTE="sCriv, post: 946714, member: 79972"] Interesting pool predictions, Your pool A and Pool B predictions I think are spot on (though I think Tonga will finish above Japan in Pool A) Pool C and D I beg to differ. Australia may be in a bit of a pickle with the Folau situation and falling interest in the sport domestically, but they still have a ridiculous pack and huge depth. I fancy them to top the group over Wales, particularly on the Japanese pitches which are going to suit SH team's style of play slightly more) I also fancy Argentina to top Pool D for similar reasons and I expect England to start slowly and grow into the tournament as per usual. QFs for me therefore would be: Ireland vs SA (I'd fancy the boks in this tie seeing as Ireland have never made it past this stage in a WC. This would be a great game to watch though) New Zealand vs Scotland (NZ easy favourites) Argentina vs Wales (Tough to call but you'd expect Wales to crank it up and have too much for them in a pressure match) Australia vs England (Would expect England to notch it up for this and get through, but again, this would be another cracking game to see) That means the SF's would be: SA vs NZ (Really England vs Wales At this stage I won't make any more predictions as I think if the semis panned out this way, both these games would be too close to call.
