I think so too.but Portugal might be in for a rough ride.
The oracle has spoken.Either Australia regroups and bashes Portugal to smithereens or they implode and this becomes a match.
If France couldn't get over 100 against a second string Namibia with an extra man for 30 minutes, then a poor Australia side is not going to do it against Portugal. I think this could be close. Australia have totally imploded and Portugal will be massively motivated. Portugal to keep it to under 20 points.Australia to get over 100. They will throw the kitchen sink at it to try saving face and give something back to the fans.

Yeah a few weeks ago I would have laughed at the though of the Wallabies losing to Portugal, not it's a distinct possibility. They could still qualify for the quarters, but I'm not sure what their morale is like and how motivated they are. 2 bad losses, ravaged by injuries and a coach that apparently has created a toxic environment. Plus there are credible reports out there he's already in talks with Japan for a coaching role.
To be honest, the worst thing now for us would be to qualify, win the quarters and make a semi-final. Rugby Union is in dire straits in Australia, doing OK in the WC would paper over the cracks and delay the ARU addressing the fact the sport is in trouble.
And I'm not sure why union is struggling, I've read a myriad of reasons. I did read an article that stated League and AFl were both thriving, especially at junior level.
Hey guys,
Is it true if you finish 3rd in the group you automatically qualify for the next word cup?
If true this is big for Portugal and Georgia and what a shame Portugal, missed that last kick.
