RWC 2015 - Its the Cloud and not Cloud 9
by No9 Thu Sep 24, 2015 3:03 pm
After extensive computer modelling, using some of the worlds most powerful computing power replaying scenarios over and over on the Cloud, the RWC forecast is now ready ...
The computer model has taken all games from the 20 competing nations since the last RWC and analysed them, applying algorithms for player rotation, injuries, change of coaching, management style, home and away factors, etc.. Its even used weightings for weather conditions.
The end result is the following predictions, for this RWC.
Pool A Pts For Against
England 15 144 69
Wales 15 143 84
Australia 14 150 72
Fiji 4 72 118
Uruguay 0 41 207
Pool B Pts For Against
South Africa 15 126 80
Samoa 12 75 71
Scotland 10 115 87
Japan 6 74 113
USA 5 69 108
Pool C Pts For Against
New Zealand 19 258 31
Argentina 13 110 80
Georgia 8 60 152
Tonga 5 59 111
Namibia 1 42 155
Pool D Pts For Against
France 17 124 59
Ireland 15 158 56
Italy 8 75 89
Canada 5 60 102
Romania 0 26 137
Qtr Finals
South Africa 27 - 29 Wales
New Zealand 32 - 25 Ireland
France 28 - 30 Argentina
England 32 - 22 Samoa
Semi Finals
Wales 26 - 24 New Zealand
Argentina 22 - 25 England
3rd-4th Play off
New Zealand 45 - 20 Argentina
Final
Wales 32 - 30 England
So there it is.. You cant argue with such advanced computer modelling.. Looks like the final will be between England and Wales, with Wales being victorious....

It all looked feasible until the computer suggested Wales would beat NZ in a semi-final.

The modelling software must have been designed in Swansea and developed in Bangalore to come up with that.

Why not? Just about anyone can beat South Africa these days (apart from England
). So that's 50% of the job done.

Wales could have possibly beaten Australia as well in that model...
If they can beat all three SH teams they would be very worthy winners.
Unfortunately I don't think we will lose to England in the pool stages, so our route will be different but hopefully the same result.

Hey guys I think this computer model may have something you know... I based my predictions on that model and not doing too bad so far...
also so far from "this round" my predictions being...
So anyone change their mind... The Computer says YES!!!
I reckon this computer model isn't that far wrong.. Lets hope the results going forward are correct, because at least its showing England progressing..

Still 40 games to go through and plenty of more tougher games to call.

I think your bloody computer algorithm should do the voting and that we ban you from the competition, No9. 
Let's see how the kid does on his own without the talking chaperone.
