[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 967713, member: 65365"] Ireland South Africa England Wales Ireland is much better prepared than the all blacks who will have used their top team 5 weeks prior and Has many very inexperienced combinations. Ireland having lost to japan, and having been embarrassed (not realising that japan is actually quite good in those conditions), will have an added focus, and obviously they have used close to their top team several times in the tournament and it hasn’t changed much in recent years. Plus Ireland will reveal all these moves they’ve been hiding. South Africa can do what Scotland did successfully against japan, but better. Japan have emptied their physical and emotional tanks already. England are structured, sensible, have quality players, good decision makers, and no obvious flaws. Australia are just not particularly great. They don’t even know who their 10 is, and no one is playing at a world class level which they’ve relied on in the past. The likes of pocock and sio, Beale are having little impact. Kerevi is a hard runner to stop but makes mistakes and bad decisions on both attack and defence. If their stars stand up they could do something, but I can’t see it. France could pull off a good performance but I think wales will be able to control the game enough to win it, though this may depend on whether biggar plays edit: scratch all that; the teams who get carded least will win [/QUOTE]
