New Zealand 62 v 13 France
New Zealand finally click into gear with a sublime display of expansive rugby and with Julian Savea doing his best Jonah Lomu impression, it was a very traumatic night for the French. Not surprisingly none of us got anywhere near the margin of victory, which was a record for a Rugby World Cup match at the knockout stage.
Closest was MinkyJoe being 24 off, next best neilwatson, 27 off.

Yes, Ireland and Scotland need to perform well today, for any South v North bonus points to be earned.

Scotland will lose to the Aussies by more than Ireland beat the Argies I think.

Yes, I agree. I think Scotland will get battered and I expect Ireland v Argentina to be very close...but you never know!

Ireland 20 v 43 Argentina
Another grim result for the supporters of Northern hemisphere rugby. Ireland having recovered valiantly from 20 - 3 down to having a penalty chance to level at 23 - 23, imploded in the last quarter. It must be acknowledged though that Argentina were far superior in their execution of skilful, running rugby. When your hooker has a penchant for offloads out of the back of the hand, you know you're onto a good thing.

Congratulations to Cissy Fairfax, tso and dtcdtcdtc who all went for an Argentinian win, with Cissy Fairfax being closest at 14 points off.

Australia 35 v 34 Scotland
What an absolute sickener for Scotland, although it must be said Australia seemed intent on going through the whole repertoire of how to gift Scotland tries - (Nobody home, charge down and intercepted pass respectively). Part of me feels gutted for Scotland, another part thinks the competition is better with Australia still in it.

Predictably none of us thought it would be as tight as it turned out, Mark F being closest at 11 points out, next best was DimSum at 13 points out. jake1981 was next, 15 out, which had repercussions for his semi-final match...
