[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 152248"] I couldn't care less that northern hemisphere teams beat southern hemisphere teams. What I like about yesterday's results (and this tournament in general) is that there's some much needed unpredictability in rugby. Whereas before the last World Cup you could have predicted virtually every result (with the exception of NZ's loss in the semi final), this time out we've had two major upsets in the first two quarter finals (although Australia being such overwhelming favourites was preposterous), Fiji making the last eight at the expense of Wales, Argentina topping their group, Georgia getting within inches of beating Ireland and Tonga coming up narrowly short of South Africa. Long may such unpredictability continue. It can only be good for the sport in the long term. [/QUOTE]
