[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 423526, member: 24910"] [B]Melhor Time[/B] Some interesting views (as usual)... I'm sure you would get very good odds if you were to pick an Ireland v France final! I'm backing Tonga to beat both Japan and Canada, though in reality there probably is not much between those three teams. I would be completely shocked if South Africa puts 50 points on Samoa - I expect they will win, but Samoa should push them. I think you are really under-rating this Samoan team; they look very strong in my opinion. Likewise I expect Samoa will be too good for Fiji, as I don't think the Fijian team is looking overly strong. If you mean New Zealand to win by between 20-25 points I agree ;) While Argentina may have been able to push the All Blacks in Argentina in 2001 and again in 2006 (when NZ sent over an understrength team) I think facing the AB's in NZ is another thing altogether. In the 7 matches the two teams have played in NZ the All Blacks smallest winning margin has been 31 points.... However this is a RWC, so an AB loss certainly isn't off the cards! Ireland has better back three than the AB's? Sure they have some talented young players, but I'd back any back-three combination the AB's pick to at least match (or likely better) Ireland's back three. It would certainly be a great win for Ireland if they could pull it off - first ever win over the AB's, and making it to thier first RWC final! [/QUOTE]
