RWC QF: Wales v Argentina
-
I think the hardest match to pick. Both have the ability to play out of their skins and with pace, but both have shown in recent couple of years how to implode within the 80 minutes. Heart says Wales, but I think Argentina will win by 3 points
-

Wales by 9+
We're not going down at this stage
I've got tickets for the SF ffs

Wales will take this is my prediction.
Gatland and Wales know how to play knock-out games. -
We've done well during the group stages but if Argentina can play anywhere close to their potential they'll win this game.
It's only a little over 12 months since they won in NZ. Which is something Wales have never managed.
I know that's not a true gauge of current form but it shows that if they click they're a handful for anyone.
Personally I hope they're as hopeless as they were against England again. đ -
SIR CLIVE WOODWARD: Here comes THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE in the quarters
SIR CLIVE WOODWARD: For the first time in World Cup history, northern hemisphere teams topped all the pools, setting up four intriguing quarter-finals.

Iâm glad Clive has lost none of his ability to be an arrogant cock even all these years later.

I canât stand all that âhemisphereâ shit. I donât see any relevance to it and I hate how Poms will get on bandwagons about it.

Especially now that all of the NH power nations have almost as many NZers and PI players in their squads as home grown players...

I assume you object to it because its coming from the North for a change, its long been the boast of NZ, SA and Aus (less so in the last 20 years) that the NH is inferior and the WC proves it. To be fair, it has. The shoe being on the other foot in terms of rankings really seems to rankle.

I can't speak for others but I grew up respecting France and Wales. The Welsh didn't win very much when I was young but they had genuine passion. The French would turn rugby into an art form, we just never knew when. I never understood hemisphere quibbles/boasts and I didn't really see much evidence of it from NZ but I did think there was an apparent European bias of the governing body.

You assume wrong. I donât support SA, Australia or Argentina more than any other team just cos theyâre geographically closer than the Northern Hemisphere. It irks me both ways.
If anything due to my extremely Celtic heritage Iâd support the north but Scotland being shite and Ireland being piston wristed gibbons makes this somewhat tough.

I will agree with Dodge that for some years those down under (they don't say that in S. Africa do they?) SH rugby competitions were superior to the 5N/6N in quality/attractiveness. Not such a popular view recently.
