Hey guys the Bookmakers have predicted a whitewash of all Southern Hemisphere Teams in the QFs. Can we wipe the floor with ALL the Northern Hemisphere Teams in the QFs? Who's with me?

Hadn't noticed until now that every quarterfinal is NH vs SH.

Think it'll be 50/50 with Wales and England going through along with South Africa and New Zealand. .

Have to agree with Rooitwit. 

That said there is lots of pressure on the refs to eliminate Boks and wee abs. Let's see how the refs perform. It only takes a red card and you are gone.

Heaven forbid at the thought that the other teams could beat you fair and square.

Yeah I'm going go with a Northern Hemisphere clean sweep.

Stav does it bother you a wee bit having the architect of your rugby renaissance, Joe Schmidt, back home in the AB camp ?

StavAss our goal kicking let us down plus ref errors. We also made some silly mistakes. It should have been a comfortable win for the Boks. 

You guys got showed up in the second half. I think the wee abs will end your dreams next week end. Prepare yourself for the letdown. 

France are going to be hit harder than they have experienced before. Can they handle it. We shall see.

He Boks are the least penalised team at tier 1 level for the past 8 years. They have also benefitted mightily from ref calls these past three years. You can wipe away at least 7 wins due to poor ref calls, and reverse the Lions series. It's quite remarkable the turnaround. Last year's RC I counted 7 consecutive skew lineouts alone.
