Wales very lucky there.

That's the worst I've seen us play in years.

 

[Simster]

You don't have to be a rugby fan to appreciate some of the stuff Japan are playing here.

5-0 down though, but very much in the game...

 

[Questions]

This is marvellous stuff. Just think the Saffers are too powerful come the second half but...

 

[whitelion]

Japan play exciting energetic rugby.

It'd be great to see them progress to the semis but I think South Africa will be too much for them to suffer a second defeat.

 

[Frutos]

5-3 to Sith Ifrica at half-time - they should probably be a lot further ahead but they've made some silly mistakes in good positions.

I'd love to see Japan turn it around and beat them again.

Well Done TBB. I took a risk on Japan and it didn't pay off, but you were consistently better than me throughout the tournament, so the right result. Thanks very much for organising and good luck for the semis.

[Pavilionaire]

Cheers to [MENTION=16461]The Brighton Bear[/MENTION] for organising the tournament, and congrats to [MENTION=258]Pavilionaire[/MENTION]

Thank you. I knew that QF was going to go down to the wire and a last gap Japan try would have dumped me out there.

 

[Taybha]

Tay, your score was 66.

You came 9th.

Have another go for the Semis. See if you can come 5th.

Good luck to the semi finalists. Amazed that I got out of the group of death.

 

[whitelion]

Two monumental semis coming up.

Both could go either way but I'll predict:

England by 10
Wales by 7

Btw my scores in the qfs were 30.

Good luck to all.

 

[BensGrandad]

Probably more in hope than expectation but I wanted TMO to rule Wales winning try out for a forward pass.

 

[Is it PotG?]

1/2 final predictions submitted.

Think it will all go wrong at this stage, many thanks to [MENTION=16461]The Brighton Bear[/MENTION] for organising all of this.

Also, thanks to my wife, family and friends. My schoolteachers who said I'd amount to nothing, and my scout leader. Thanks to my therapist, and several Anonymous groups.

 

[Eeyore]

Probably more in hope than expectation but I wanted TMO to rule Wales winning try out for a forward pass.

Why ?

 

[One Love]

Why ?

Presumably he supports France or he's got a chip on his shoulder about Wales?

It's good to see Wales in the semi-final. You can get 3/1 on them reaching the final which is good value considering they have won their last four matches against South Africa. Tight games, mind.
