Title: RWC 2011, semi finals?
Post by: Jay on 05 October 2011, 22:43
Well, let's have your predictions in :cool:

4 votes each too (as there are 4 team to go through)

Seems England have majority of votes, and I put them to beat France too, but the southern hemisphere teams are almost a given, and England to beat France may be a bit optimistic given current form on and off the pitch. You could say the same about France too I suppose, but this game will be very very tight IMO.

which ones though seeing as they are all playing each other? surely has to be wallabies to beat the boks and kiwis to beat the pumas?

Wallabies are going down baby !  :grin:

I'd say SA v Kiwi final, though it would be good to have SA v England final again  :evil:



Bounce, that's exactly who I put down  :grin:

you mean RSA v NZL semi-final? as i understand it is impossible for them to meet in the final... it is going to be a NH v SH final.

i'm not sure that RSA will get past Australia, I don't think anyone will beat NZ

Oz have been ripped apart by injuries and haven't coped with it as well as the Boks. I see the Aussies struggling. Whatever the outcome it'll be a cracking match!

NZ haven't won since the first RWC, I'd like to keep it that way and hope to god we beat them! It'll wipe the cocky smirk off my old flat mates face (he's from Zimbabwe, holds a British password considers himself English, yet supports NZ - Glory hunter in ANY sport). OZ won't be much of a problem for us, NZ will be the biggest hurdle.

Remind me again how many trophies the England football team has won in the last 40 years  :wink:

The rugby team simply weren't up to it and got the result they deserved but at least none of them got sent off for spitting their dummy out and kicking the opposition  :grin:

I wondered when you'd respond. :grin:

It's easier to win the rugby world cup, less teams competing you see.

At least the England football team can "kick", even if it is the opposition (the pr1ck). If the rugby team could catch (which I suspect is mandatory when playing "rugger") then they may have fared better. I wont even mention them tackling themselves instead of the opposition for one of the tries. :rolleyes: It gave me a laugh though if nothing else. :grin:

Glad it made you laugh although from what I hear that's a lot more than can be said for the football team  :grin:

Well England have been in half of all the Rugby world cup finals and are the Six nations champions so perhaps it's only fair that someone else should get a look in  :wink:

I'm not old enough to know what it was like to see the football team in a final although I think they were in world cup semi final in the dim and distant past  :undecided: :grin:

Come on Wales!!! You can do it!  :grin:

It would be nice to have a different team to win, other than 1 of the other 4 winners (NZ, Oz, SA and Eng are the only team to have won the RWC).

Good luck to them mate, I hope they do win it and if they keep playing the way they have then it could happen  :cool:
