*New Zealand, South Africa, England & Wales to all win their quarter finals @2.68 (0.75 units).

+1.26 units.

Total:
8-3.
+2.48 units.

Eddie Jones trying very hard to get some mind games started ahead of the semi-finals.

Strongly hinting that NZ sent someone to spy on England's training sessions (without offering a single shred of proof, of course), and repeatedly claiming that there's huge pressure on NZ and none on England.

Have absolutely no time for this kind of carry on.

Already wanted NZ to win but now I'm hoping they absolutely humiliate Jones.

*Makazole Mapimpi to finish as top tryscorer @2.38 (0.25 units).

**Poisec** · 10-24-19, 06:59 AM

Trying to predict the correct scores for the semis.
NZ vs. England: 42-20
SA vs. Wales: 30-17.

**Optional** · 10-24-19, 11:39 AM

23-26 to England

37-30 to Sth Africa

I'd happily settle for both of those.

Really hoping for NZ vs SA in the final.

Really hope you're wrong about England beating NZ, Opti.

I don't think I have made a winning bet in this thread, so you are probably safe

New Zealand vs England in less than an hour. Should be one of the matches of the tournament.

**Baraldsson** · 10-26-19, 03:23 AM

England have started very well. Not liking this at all.

**Baraldsson** · 10-26-19, 04:15 AM

A second disallowed try for England.

New Zealand need to score soon or this one's all over.

**horja1** · 10-26-19, 04:25 AM

Huge first 50 minutes by England. Great defense, constant pressure in offence, no scoring opportunity for NZ. It looks like NZ is playing against a better version of themselves

Very worried, honestly can't see them coming back from this.

I think NZ are done unfortunately. England far too good today.

**horja1** · 10-26-19, 04:48 AM

Great defense for England, except for the NZ try

Credit where it's due, England have been phenomenal today.

As an Aussie. I know just how you feel.

All credit to England. They were too good. Not the Kiwis being bad.

Cheering for Wales tomorrow, just cause we would have the first European final

Disastrous result for me today. I suppose there's still a chance my South Africa hedge will save me, but England had the look of Champions out there.

You called it in advance, Opti.

**Baraldsson** · 10-27-19, 04:01 AM

Great to see players actually singing the national anthems with pride. One or two of them really belting it out.

**Baraldsson** · 10-27-19, 04:18 AM

Good kicking from Pollard. South Africa off the mark.

Impressive kicking from Biggar to level the scores.

**Optional** · 10-27-19, 05:01 AM

An all Northern hemisphere final is looking a serious possibility!

Anyone remember the odds for that pre tourney?

Hard to cheer for the Boks, but maybe I have to now to stop that travesty.

**Baraldsson** · 10-27-19, 05:25 AM

Try for South Africa!

**Baraldsson** · 10-27-19, 05:34 AM

Great try for Wales. Game on!

**horja1** · 10-27-19, 05:35 AM

Good second half

**Poisec** · 10-27-19, 05:42 AM

Maybe it'll go overtime.

**Baraldsson** · 10-27-19, 05:46 AM

Pollard keeps his composure. Crucial score there.

**Poisec** · 10-27-19, 05:51 AM

Well England wins the WC.

**Baraldsson** · 10-27-19, 05:52 AM

Full time: South Africa 19-16 Wales.
