Prediction time again.I know you have all been waiting for this since my predictions are so very accurate.
South Africa 21
New Zealand 19
The game of the weekend as far as I am concerned.A very close one to call.I believe the All Blacks took the scare the Welsh gave them to heart and will be a very difficult team to beat.We have a flyhalf called Hougaard though and this kid is going to become the best ever, regardless of the result on Saturday.
Australia 52
Scotland 18
I am saddened to say that there is no way Scotland can win this match.Even if Sailor is the only player who pitches for Oz a draw would be the best the Scots could hope for and only because Sailor's kicking is the funniest thing since Monty Python.At least we get to listen to Flower of Scotland one last time.Isnt it just the most beautiful national anthem around?
England 35
Wales 13
Few nations are as passionate about their rugby as Wales.Sadly if you are a Wales supporter go water the garden or take the wife shopping while this game is on.Let me put it to you this way,if Wales beat England I will resign all my games here at RHP. *Hoping this will make England lose*
France 28
Ireland 20
Ireland might surprise but I doubt it.They are very one dimentional and rely on O'Driscoll and O'Gara too much.This weekend it is going to be O'Shit we are out of the Cup.I see France as title contenders but they are totally unpredictable,magic today and terrible tomorrow.
People following this thread will no doubt be delighted to know that this might be my last contribution.I really struggle to accept defeat(except at RHP where it has become a way of life to me😉 ).What I am trying to say is, should SA lose Saturday I might react in a very strange way.I might lock myself in a dark room with only a candle and five cases of beer to keep me company.I will then only emerge once my stock is depleted.
In other words if SA lose and Wales beat England I will be in a dark room,sipping beer,contemplating the meaning of life,chess,RHP,rugby,resignations and why the hell I only brought one candle.

Agree Scotland not strong enogh 30-15
England 35
Wales 13
Much like SA smashed Samoa after SAmoa ran England ...[text shortened]... l SA-NZ and Ire- Fra England and Australia should be too strong for their oppostion. Happy drinking!
ok scores then!
nZ 52
sa 10
over confidence maybe - but unfortunately we've got the wood on you SA's and will continue to do so! Your first five is good but untried - and am also worried that you may be slow around the park - van neirkirk is too big a loss! But after all that maybe I am dreaming 😴 - yip realising I was so I'll change the scoreline just a little - Nz 32, SA, 18 - our defence will be pretty solid after the dismal welsh showing!
Scot 10
Aus 52
Whats there to say????
France 35
Ireland 18
I retract an earlier comment that Ireland will win. Heart over head! France should be top 4 and their flair will get them through
England 32
Wales 13
Can Wales get up again?
No way - but how much of the world wants them to! Crowd favorites for sure! May battle tough for 60 minutes but rugby's an 80 minute game.
PS: Schalk Burger. Shows sides of his father. A future star for SA and seemed the only one able to drive/tackle.South Africa officially sux at rugby.
Putred performance, pretty embarrassing.
When you can't make a 1st time tackle or a scrumhalf is allowed to drive (Marshal), then you shouldn't be allowed to play the game.
I'll start up a petition to ban rugby from South Africa. Rugby and Cricket. Only golf allowed...
9-9 at half time, we conceded a couple of stupid tries at the start of the second half-but 51-10? nope! 😀 twas 33-16 to the aussies.
i have 2 cripes-not once were the aussies done for crossing, which happened at least three times, and when redpath kicked a ball diagonally accross the pitch, with logan chasing it and lotsa space!...then the whistle went cause some winger decided to hook a scots player...advantage?
but still-we made the errors, but it wasn't a walkover! and did you see patersons drop goal? 😀
Originally posted by geniusFrom what I saw, they ran interference twice (which is very little for the wallabies), but they were penalised once, only one was missed by Walsh.

Too bad about the advantage, could've been interesting.
In the end he scots were in the game only in the first half - the second half was all oz even though they gave away that concelation try.
