World Cup Tipping
04 Sep '07 17:05Originally posted by spurs73did you watch nz in the tri nations?
NZ to beat italy by 50 points? what you on!
Did you not watch italy in the 6 nations?
maybe not as much as 50 but it'll defiantly be pushing 40.
04 Sep '07 18:04Originally posted by trevor33yes.. i did watch NZ in the tri-nations.. they were awasome...but here in Europe we are not as bad as you think.

04 Sep '07 18:39Originally posted by spurs73they'll have their strongest team out wanting to put on a show to scare the rest of the computation. can you imagine if france where playing well and saw that nz where struggling a bit? confident french team = quality french team.

04 Sep '07 18:54Originally posted by spurs73i don't like the way the seedings are based on previous world cups, a lot has happened in 4 years. ireland should be one of the top 4 seeds.
good point. should be good bro..cannt waite.
NZ, Aus, France, and SA for semi finals.
Not sure about england...they will ofcourse make the q/f no problem, but then it depends on who they meet there
04 Sep '07 21:04Originally posted by trevor33i like watching Ireland play..they play good rugby. i hope they get to the s/finals but like you say the draws are hard

the sa england match should decide who gets to the semis. other than that unless ireland can pull an upset against france your other 3 teams should make the semis.
05 Sep '07 07:50Originally posted by spurs73Sure, there are a few good European sides, England, France, Ireland, Scotland and Wales can all beat any side on a good day - Wales and Scotland are not looking too sharp this year, but they have the belief...

OK, here are my picks:
FRA 26 - ARG 15
NZ 68 - ITA 17
AUS 55 - JAP 11
ENG 42 - USA 19
WAL 28 - CAN 20
SA 38 - SAM 20
SCO 23 - POR 13
IRE 54 - NAM 10
We'll do it in batches of 8 games.
Scores need to be submitted before kick-off in the first game of the batch.
I'll do a little Excel sheet for us to work out the points.

06 Sep '07 10:23Originally posted by spurs73If Portugal score 4 points it will be a modern day miracle.....although if Stuart Dickenson is blowing the game anything is possible. He will probably award 4 points for 'good effort'
