25/1 for aussies seems about right to me... would have to win 3 big matches in a row... I think this aussie team good for 1 maybe 2 wins in a row at best...
They haven't even decided on fly half........... let alone a decent goal kicker... happily be surprised but wouldnt be advising anyone to jump onboard the gold...
History is against Ireland. They've come to the tournament with powerful squads and floundered in the past. Can they take the next step?
Past Results:
SA beat Australia earlier in the season with 15 players sent to NZ early and beat them 36-17m enough to go on his wildly inaccurate drivel. Lizatjie is the simpleton who write on site that the SA performances in the RC and winning the trophy was worse than it was in 2015 when the Springboks lost all three matches and ended up bottom of the log, The logic was that of the worst simpleton ever on site.
Unlike in the 2015 WC when the Springboks lost against Japan he is clueless about why it happened and praised the total failures in the game and attack the better players in the game.
However, what happened in the Fiji 2007 game in the WC quaterfinal? The Springboks won 37 -20 in that game - so what was "even worse" about that, Should they have won by 40 points dimness?
One cannot make out what was the rest of the dribble about? In the series the Springboks defense was very good - but for a few tackles missed by individual players like Mostert prior to one of the AB tries. In 4 matches played the Springboks gave away 3 tries. What the hell is wrong with the birdbrain?
SA beat Australia at Ellis Park after Oz was the better side for much of the first half....and Australia beat NZ convincingly at home. They are always WC over achievers, beating us twice to one loss. There, now you're informed.
Shifty Schiff-Strzok
How do you get to the fib about - "SA beat Australia at Ellis Park after Oz was the better side for much of the first half."?
The score after 24 minutes in the game was SA leading 14-3. Then the Aussies scored a converted try in minute 24. They never scored a point after minute 24 and neither did the Springboks. That does not make for the Ausies being the better team for much of the first half, but if SS-S says so how dare I disbelieve his twaddle?
Anyway - that is the kind of tripe you routinely write on site. In the second half the Springboks dseservedly outscored the Aussies by 21 points to 7 - but that is not material according to SS-S argument.
In the first half Oz had 61% of possession and 65% of the territory...in the match as a whole they beat 26 tackles to 15 by the Boks, made13 clean breaks to 10. They blew it and botched several tries. A knockout game against them in Japan would be a toss up .
Yet they never led in points and was behind in the first 24 minutes by 14 points to 3. And in the second half they scored exactly one try as against 3 scored by the Springboks. Two tries to 5 shows ZERO dominance in the game.
And then we have the 15 top players sent to New Zealand before the game with shrieking hysteria about the arrangement from the normal Idiot Speakers, No SS-S you are a fool and will always be one until you get over your prejudice mental disease.
At 18/1 Ireland are over the odds....seems like the smart bet.
With you on that Denny - think Ireland gonna take the ABs this weekend... and then the rest of the tournament (if they do beat kiwis...)
England and New Zealand in the final. Will be massive! You can all watch too and wave your english flags.
Erm if you Poms get to the final, it can only be against South Africa, Wales, France or Japan...take your pick...you better hope the Irish takes out the Allblacks or you are going home...Bro.
I better hope nothing. We beat new zealand have it in the bag. Keep hope for your next game... hahahaha!
Yes, England won 7 from 41 times since 1905, last time being 7 years ago at home....only 2 victories away from Twickers...in 114 years! Yes, clearly you've got this. No luck needed. Poms FTW!
Always the past with you lot. Who owns you now??? 1905 isnt going to save you right now.
