I’ve noted the 4 outsiders in the Quarters pays 334/1
Australia to beat England
Ireland to beat New Zealand
France to beat Wales
Japan to beat South Africa
This seems a reasonable investment of a tennar imo

Very true :hehe: Didn't think of that. Still think England will win but definitely the most finely balanced of the four games. Think Eddie has shown them a lot of respect in dropping Ford, though can see why he did it. Manu needs to step up and have a monster game at 12Quote:

Tennar = a nice downpayment on a House imo
Well, I'm confident the BiL won't score the winnerQuote:

It's not having players in the French squad that hurts me. Does Laca get in their squad now when he's fit?
Actually, do we have any proper internationals any more? i.e. not countries like Greece, Switz, Bosnia etc. Proper countries.
Wekbeck was probably our last England player, though Willock will be soon. Deschamps doesn't like Laca (though Guendozi was in the squad last time. Ceballos plays for Spain. Leno is in the Germany squad and quite frankly its a bit ****y to talk about proper countries, particularly when one of the ones you slate has won a major international tournament in the last 15 yearsQuote:

All Blacks in the semi then T, that Jonah Lomu is going to destroy us again :cry:Quote:

Of course the Cloggies are a proper country - I've been happy living there which is the major criterion in whether a country is proper or not.Quote:

Hadn't even really been aware the tourney was on.
Didn't another small team win recently? Or am I thinking of Jensen 92?
How are the Bubbles doing now? I take it Papa Sok plays for them.
