Ireland beat the Aussies today meaning if they beat Italy it is likely to be a Ireland v Wales/Samoa quarter-final.
I'm in Sydney and watched the Aussies lose in the pub here. Feck that was a magic afternoon!
I went in there saying I really didn't care and tried to be inmpartial but it was hard not to be smug when they were loosing. I really couldn't help it. Few Irish supporters and me beaming!
I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but I was in a house full of Australians (one of whom had spent the previous two months saying how shit England were) when some blokes in white won the World Cup in Sydney. Very satisfying.I'm in Sydney and watched the Aussies lose in the pub here. Feck that was a magic afternoon!

Although I'm not particularly confident that we'll beat Samoa from past experience.
Only just. Still got to beat Fiji though, a feat that eluded us in 2007.
Beat Samoa. The clues are in the words.Only just what?

Scotland lose against Argentina :icon_lol:
Now means they need to beat England by 7+ points now, which won't happen.
It looks like the QFs will be
Irleand v Wales
France v England
SA v Australia
Argentina v NZ
This would mean a southern hempishere team vs northern hemisphere final.
Well at the moment Scotland will win by more than 10 points - England are playing shit Wilkinson ahs missed 3 penalties and Scoland are all over us like a rash. 6-0 at the moment but it could be much more. England look rabbits caught in the headlights.Scotland lose against Argentina :icon_lol:
