Purple patches, long estabished winners , chokers, faith, belief, beef and whoever turns up on the day

Anybody care to predict confidently the RWC 2011 winner?

Wales will march to the final. Its our time.

Has to be their day sooner or later

Wales v NZ final I'm afraid.

NZ to win 26-17.

Purple patches, long etabished winners , chokers, faith, belief, beef and whoever turns up on the day - why did you leave out the elephants?

South Africa

Possibly because there are no enclosed elephants.

Wales are the best team on the planet and currently have the best player in the world (George North apparently) so logic would suggest they will win

McCaw still in. As are Du Plessis, Steyn, BOD, SOB. North, Warburton, any number of of Ozzies (full squad), and so on. And that's just a selection of the greats.

This RWC is not over by any means.

There is a long trek home.

I have no doubt Wales/Ireland will make the final.. The problem is, they'll be so relieved/happy at getting there, I think they'll do a France in 87, or an England in 91, or a France in 99 i.e. making the final is enough

A typical 'We are underdogs' comment from the Irish.

Why would that be? I can't begin to imagine..

Please PM when you do it.

Personally I fancy France to get there.

I am confident enough to say that one of England, Ireland, Wales, France, Australia or New Zealand will win it, and if not it will be Argentina. And I have a real gut feeling it will be a Northen Vrs Southern Hemisphere final, and 3rd/4th place play off.

Being serious I would think that it will be the winner of Wales/Ireland QF against the All Blacks, and the All Blacks will win the final comfortably.

south africa

Australia to win the competition overall.

Aus will break NZ's hearts oncemore in SF & will beat Eng in the final.

... and to much dismay to NZ, Cooper will pick up the IRB world player of the year award!

Phew, Spiderman. That is going on a twiggy limb. Just England, Ireland, Wales, France, Australia or New Zealand,. That's a hell of a call. That leaves the Argies done for (agreed) and the Boks. Would you please reintroduce the Saffers back into the mix?

PSBW ....It hurts to admit this but I too want to acknowledge that sledge. When the day of judgement comes and histories are written that will go down as one of the tip top examples of quality sledging, a well timed, well delivered coup de grace. if i had a sister you would go to the front of the cue. Bravo!

gatts, up early for the game or not gone to bed?

in canada. its 9pm

ah, so neither
confident or bricking it?

For what its woth i'm looking forward to this game more then the england one, could be game of the cup so far

quietly confident. i will know within 10-15 mins of ko

well i'l need to get up and get to the pub
full english and a coffee(no proper stuff playing later)
may the best team win!!!

you must be a back and probably in you r20s

close........37 and backrow lol
league game so looking for a five pointer
and i only got in from the pub at 3

i am disgusted. no self respecting 3rd team 6 would pass up a few shandies to equalize the old electrolytes before KO No wonder your knees are knackered if you don't take in enough fluids

ah but i've been elevated to the lofty hights of the 2nds
plus i need a good performance at 8 to put myself forward as a viable option for jonno ahead of easter
enjoy i'm off to wake up the landlord

*Sam Warburton

So far it'whoever turns up on the day (un point)

Purple patches One point

The rest - zip

Purple patches, long estabished winners , chokers and whoever turns up on the day

One point each.

Next round : long estabished winners v chokers

Purple patches v whoever turns up on the day

I think Wales are working on 2 other prototypes for the 6 nations in 2012, apparently they have a Sam North and a George Warburton waiting in the wings, monsters apparently

what if both turn up on the day?

Then we'd have Sam and George on the wings and George and Sam in the back row.
