England's pool is the only one that isn't really straight forward on paper, Pool C New Zealand and Argentina are nailed on as are France and Ireland in Pool D. Pool B I would expect South Africa and Scotland although Samoa are capable of spoiling that. In Pool A I expect England to take top spot and Australia to edge in ahead of Wales.

Knock out stages I expect England, South Africa, New Zealand and Ireland to come through the 1/4 finals. Then England and South Africa to qualify for the final, no cue who would win that though.

If anyone fancies joining a full World Cup prediction league (via Superbru), I'd be happy to setup and manage.

Predicting scores for every match and a league based on the results. I've played them many times and will be running one for work.

No expense necessary, its free to play, just need an account. Maybe persuade the Club to put a prize up?

OK - I've now setup the prediction league in Superbru!

It's free to join and play, you just need to setup a login on www.superbru.com

Once you've done that, either search for "Tigers Forum" in pools or follow this link:
