If England win tonight they’re all but in the quarter finals. England picked up a bonus point for scoring four tries against Fiji which both Wales and Australia failed to do. England also picked up a bonus point for losing by less than 7 to Wales.
I expect Australia to win by 10-15 points tonight.
Scotland have played reasonably well second half but they won’t turn it around. Emperor Akihito and his charges will be goosed if that remains the case. Samoa have checked out of the tournament already and are on the plane home. I wouldn’t discount Scotland causing an upset in the quarter final.
The England \Welsh game was on with the sound down in a venue I was in in last week so I saw bits and pieces of that. I saw five mins of the NZ and Argentina to make sure the Argies are up to taking care of Ireland. That’s about it. I’ll be tuning in for France’s victory over Ireland and I might catch the second half of us v Australia tonight.
Greater tournament will be served better by an Ireland win next week. France have every chance of taking out New Zealand then in quarter final. Ireland no chance in a quarter final against New Zealand.
