Rugby World Cup 2019

1st quarter final just finished, and England totally eviscerated Oz.

40-16!!

Tougher test next week, Ireland or the ABs

21 September 2019 - New Zealand v South Africa

And probably again in the final.

I'd say you're probably right, can't see Wales getting past SA if they both play like they did today. Could be two fantastic semis though.

@Trev33

England had a very good game, I'd say it could be England vs South Africa in the final... 🙂

@pawnpaw

It's possible, they're playing the best I've seen them... and to think, wasn't that long ago that Ireland was winning the 6 nations and England were getting beat by Scotland. How fast things change, except for NZ who are always amazing.

@Trev33

You are a year out , Trev. In 2019 England beat Ireland in 6 nations, and tanned them in a pre WC warm up game.

Having said that, I predict a Blacks v SA final. I think England will not roll over quite so readily as Ireland did, though.

2018 isn't that long ago... I'm fully aware of how badly Ireland have played since they beat NZ last November.

well bugger me, didn't think we had a chance

@Wycombe-Al

I'm *very* happy to have got that prediction wrong. Quite a few sorry-looking AB fans in London today.

Well, my prediction still stand.

😀

@Russ

next saturday going to be messy, drinking in the pub from 8am and carry on all day, win or lose!!

What a performance that was, NZ completely dominated. Could have been won by more... play like that and I can't see SA or Wales beating them but finals are funny things.

Watched England beat NZ live last night.
What a game!
I was nervous at half-time that England hadn't put
more points on the board but what a great performance!

Surely that was "the final"?

So my prediction rolls out... England and South Africa in the final...

😀

@Russ
Yes, theres a housing shortage in Niew Zealand today, thousands of AB fans came down back to earth...
