DA please note that my prediction has changed

 DA
After the team announcement I am satisfied to make a prediction to the effect that we will beat Wales by circa 15 points - because Matfield is not there to bugger up our Tight 5.
If the same team plays the AB's we have a 45% chance to beat them in the Semi.  If Meyer gets stupid and select Matfield to bugger up the team again - our winning chance against the AB will drop to 15%, since our tight 5 will inegrate again with him in the team.  

 

Fair enough Dave, thanks for the update
Now, if this side stays more or less the same..... Will we win this world cup
Yes... or..... No

 No
I think we have about a 39% chance - so the answer is NO.

Ok Mike
Where do we exit, this quarter final, semi's or final?

 It depends on the NZ Frog game. I suspect NZ will ron over France like Cat D9. If that happens they might be a bit complacent against us and we might sneak a victory. ..and then Aus or Ire in the final. 50/50.
GO BOKKE!!!!

 But we still have to get past Wales and Barnes and with Dave and Mike predicting a victory,  I worr y!

Ok, Mike says No
Waiting for Dave

 With bent refs no one can predict the outcome
