Pick your Semi finalists

So lets all pick our four semifinalists.

I have set up a poll - choose the teams you think who are going through.

I reckon we will have a completely different result to what we all would have predicted at the beginning of the tournament!

How can we pick four it only gives me the option to vote for one team ?

Oops! I fogot to make it multi choice!

I have changed now - if you want to change your vote, I have enabled that option too.

My pick to win the thing before the WC started were Australia but looking at the voting so far, it looks like they are dead and buried!

Its amazing what one loss can do to a teams perception.

would you all be so sure of a SA win had Wales beaten SA?

Probably not, but Australia have also taken a real beating with injuries. I think the SA team are showing pretty solid at the moment, even under huge pressure.

I voted NZ, England, SA and Ireland.

Pretty straightforward picks really.

No because then theyd have to play Ireland and would have no chance.

Yes South Africa would have joined Wales in the semis even if the had finished second in the group.

By the way i voted NZ SA France and ireland.

Althought the French have shown nothing to suggest they'll win i just have a gut feeling they'll pull it off.

True. They are winning when it counts.
Next week we're back to the contrast in styles.
Simply put if oz take and make their chances. Theyll win.
Its whether they can or not that makes the diff. Its a hard one to predict and with ioane back their attack just got a little better.

For me its how much longer SA can fend off attacks as theyll only get stronger next two matches.
If SA lose any discussion will be around how poorly they were defensively. If oz lose it will be the usual "oz had their chances but couldnt convert the chances. As youd expect of such a clash if styles.
The actual match will be a mighty one and i cant pick it.

Me too, but my SA vote is more out of hope than anything

I voted NZ, England, SA and Wales. Can't not back my team, and it's such a close one between us and Ireland....anything is possible.

My choices as well. Biltong I'm surprised you're not confident, I personally think you'll smash the Aussies.

As for Wales or Ireland, it'll be extremely close and might come down to a single kick, so I'm backing ROG.

NZ England SA Wales. Wales v England would be an epic semi

Both our best playmakers are injured, Frans steyn on his way home, and it seems Hougaard has sustained concussion which means he may be out as well.

details....you are still going to win (or lose to Wales by 1 point in the final)

Tough to call Wales v Ireland....I think Wales have the better team, but don't think they have the nous to close out a tight WC game. Ireland's experience to win it.

SA to bully Aus out of the game much as Ireland did.

NZ....

France imploding.

How come Argentina are on 0% but their opponents New Zealand are on 24%? logic demand 25%. which idiot doesn't know how to Flip vote!
