Ireland 24 England 18

Mom:Sexton

Scotaly 20 PI 22

Mom:Jauzion

Australia 35 New Zealand 35

Mom: Beale

Ireland 23 16 England
Extra quality in the backrow and half backs the main difference here

Scotaly 20 22 Wales
Better balance to the backrow for Wales is tghe main difference between two very even teams


Australia 26 24 New Zealand
Two evenly matched sides here but more at 8 and 9 swings it to the Oz for me

Ireland 28-21 England

Scotaly 20-24 Wales

Argentina 18-20 P.I

Australia 24-26 New Zealand

Ireland 24 - 19 England
MOTM - Bowe
The galvanised look to the Irish pack and packs show a little extra quality here.

Scotaly 17 - 21 Wales
MOTM - Wilkinson
The teams here are both very even, but the main weak point for me is Max Evans at 12. Not a 12 and not even played there before, and costs them a few points.


Australia 26 - 26 New Zealand
MOTM - C Smith
Both very even teams, forwards just go to NZ but again OZ snip them in the backs.
