Here comes the Quarterfinals


Boy oh boy oh boy


From the opening game upset where the puma beat the blues it was a rocking RWC

My disappointments are Wales and Ireland they just lost the plot.

English were lost but seem to be coming back to their kicking game
Fiji is always a beauty to watch.
Samoa and Tonga gave the opponents a run for the money but they are better on the Rugby 7's

So here is the unexpected line up and that give us 2 mouth watering matches.
boy oh boy oh boy

Australia England, my money on Australia
All Blacks against France, I want all blacks
Puma against Scott, hard for the highlanders to progress
South Africa will beat Fiji.

Aside from the AllBlack I pick Boks to wing it, they have been ruthless, tough and strong






Here is news


PARIS, 30 September - Only eight teams remain in the hunt to lift the Webb Ellis Cup after the quarter-final line-up for the IRB Rugby World Cup was confirmed on Sunday.

Former champions South Africa, Australia and New Zealand were already confirmed as the winners of Pool A, B and C with one match remaining.

Australia, the only nation to have won the world cup twice, will play Pool A runners-up England in the first quarter-final.

South Africa, the champions on home soil in 1995, will be on unfamiliar territory in their quarter-final as they have never faced Pool B runners-up Fiji in a world cup match before.

The other quarter-final will feature New Zealand, who have always reached at least the semi-finals of every world cup, against Pool D runners-up France .

France had been expecting to win their pool, but were on the back foot after losing to Argentina in the tournament's opening match and despite winning their next three matches they missed out on the luxury of a quarter-final on home soil.

The last quarter-final takes place at Stade de France in Saint-Denis where Pool D winners Argentina come face to face with Scotland.

Argentina, unbeaten at RWC 2007, face Scotland for the first time in world cup history .
