"Whos playing today?" wales vs fiji is at 4.45 france vs canada is at 8 the wales game will be the more interesting.... because there are going to be caught between possibly just trying to win the game (looking ahead to the australia game next weekend) and possibly having to chase bonus points.... remember England did get the 4 try bonus point against fiji.... but australia didn't.... and england got a losing bonus point against wales..... the winner of the wales/england/australia group likely gets the loser of the Scotland vs south africa game on saturday in the quarter finals.... 2nd in that group will get the winner.... winner of the france vs ireland game a week on saturday gets to avoid new zealand in the quarter final... they would likely get argentina loser of that france ireland game will get the all blacks..... | |||

"I do love a conspiracy theory,and I think tomorrow night might be one. I really can't see the RFU wanting England as hosts to be the first team knocked out of the competition. The last time England played The Wallabies Australia found themselves getting pinged by the Ref on every single scrum,resulting in a Wallabies defeat. I have a funny feeling We might get a similar situation tomorrow with the Ref only blowing his whistle against 1 team. Time will tell ![]() it is romain poite refereeing tomorrow's game..... and he is fussy at the scrum.... and it doesn't help that (my pet peve coming) there are certain members of the england front row that don't scrumage straight.... yes you joe marler and marko vinopola!!! | |||

"In a little shock here at how unorganised NZ look. " I possibly credit NZ with more ability than I should but I did expect them to be finalists; playing like this I could see them out in the quarter finals | |||

"What happens if England and Wales both lose to Australia but England beat Uruguay? Australia go through then it will be points difference for whoever makes it through is it?" No, if England lose to Australia, they are out of contention to qualify | |||

"What happens if England and Wales both lose to Australia but England beat Uruguay? Australia go through then it will be points difference for whoever makes it through is it?" the issue is more likely that england win tomorrow... then the aussies beat you.... then it may come down to a points rush or bonus points.... | |||

"What happens if England and Wales both lose to Australia but England beat Uruguay? Australia go through then it will be points difference for whoever makes it through is it? No, if England lose to Australia, they are out of contention to qualify" So hopefully Australia will beat them then tomorrow, then if we lose against Australia it will go to points difference is it? | |||

England lose tomorrow,they are gone.Wales would go through either 1st or more likely 2nd. | |||

If Australia win tomorrow then both them and us are guaranteed to qualify. Who finishes first or second would then come down to next weekends result. | |||

"Even a draw tomorrow without England getting a bonus point would be a good enough result for us. That would take them to 8 and even with the 5 pointer over Uruguay next weekend would only take them level with us on 13, but we would have the advamtage in the event of a tie on points as we beat them. They would then need us to beat the aussies next weekend for them to qualify, whereas we could lose without a losing bonus and still qualify anyway." A draw then becomes complicated.Jeez you ask a lot of questions ![]() ![]() | |||

I've been watching NZ play for over 30 yrs I'm sure the likes of Wayne Shelford would be cringing! prety boys can run in tries but you need hard men to dominate the game. | |||
