Predictions

[tonka toy]

South Africa to just pip Samoa

Italy will see off ireland in the bloodied battle since the somme

England will destroy Scotland by 30 odd points and Robinson will be looking for a new job (good)

[Tigerbob]

Italy definitely need to LOSE to Ireland - we need Castro back NOW!!!

We could have done with Agulla and Ayerza back too but Scotland let Tigers down bigtime!

[Kinoulton]

SA will thrash Samoa.
Ireland will beat Italy by about 10.
England will eventually beat Scotland, but will probably give us a few scares along the way.

But I could be hopelessly wrong.

[Old Hob]

SA to thrash Samoa.
Ireland/ Italy and Scotland/England will be 60 bundles of nerves each fearing to fail

[kingol22]

Samoa to spring the surprise of the tournament and beat SA, Tuilagi to score the winning try.
Italy to beat Ireland with Castro destroying the irish scrum, We then get our captain back.
England to win by around 20 points with trys coming from Manu, Ashton, Croft and Foden.

[mightymouse]

My prediction is that in a final chapter in a long list of heroic failures, Scotland will beat England by 6 points having hit the bar with a drop goal in the last second and hence drop out of the world cup bringing home about 4 of the glaws and 1 sarry.

Tigers will be thrashed by Bath and I will be very grumpy for another week when the hot weather will break and it will rain for 3 weeks solid!!!

[Old Hob]

Fiji to beat Wales by 7

[tonka toy]

Good call old job forgot about the taffs but for my sake.I.hope.not I am.having to.work down there all next week and there's nothing worse than a morose welshman.

[Stu_F]

Scotland will be hammering England out of sight then England will send Dan Parks on and the game will change

[Big Dai]

Oh yes there is, it's a Welshman after a victory, especially against the English. Trust me, I lived there.

Agreed in Spades! There's a Welsh plonker over the road flying the flag of ANY nation playing England.............In ANY sport!

[Kinoulton]

SA will thrash Samoa.

But I could be hopelessly wrong.

Well I was wrong!

(Off topic. As for the weather, it will continue to confound people who have lived in the UK all their lives and yet still cannot comprehend cold temps in July, rain in August, heat in September, or southerly winds in October. Do these morons all live under the bubble at Centre Parcs and never get out? It's Britain. It's what it's like.)

[crateman]

England to beat France
Ireland to beat Wales (whoopee)
Ireland to beat England in the semis

NZ to beat Argentina
Boks to beat Aus
Boks to beat NZ in the semis (chokers)

Ireland to win WC.

Only thing I haven't decided on is who will wear green in the final?

[Kinoulton]

I think England v France will be decided on penalties. Whoever can gain enough territory, keep their discipline, and goad the opposition into giving away soft penaties will win.

Not pretty.
