asmith Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 It is finally here after four years the Rugby World Cup kicks off this Friday in New Zealand. Since the last world cup when New Zealand chocked in the quater finals to add to their other choking perfomances dating back to a day after they won the RWC in 1987, thats 24 years of choking. If you follow rugby you know what I am talking about if you don't follow rugby then all you need to know is the New Zealand always choke in the RWC. Time to pick the winner comp; You need to pick the two teams that will be in the final, and the winning score line. The prize is the Habanos Selection 5 Pack of Piramides. The winner will be the person who picks the correct two teams and then who is closest to the winning team's score and if that is still tied the lossing team score comes into it. If we are tied at the end of that I will smoke the cigars and review them all for you. Your entires must be submitted here by Midnight Wednesday 14 September. If you don't know who is playing in the RWC here is a link to the official website so you can view the teams. www.rugbyworldcup.com Go the Wallabies!!
kiwirwe Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 choke? lets not live in the pass, i don't want to bring up stats, my keyboard will run out of ink Ill take All Blacks Vs Oz allblacks 32 Oz 25 Thanks Jai Go Italy you good thing :-)
theholmesmob Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 I reckon Jai has it back to front! Wallabies 32 V All Blacks 25 Can't wait for the rugby to start, with it comes the great excuse of a few beers, wine and cigars and an awful lot of ribbing of any foreigner who thinks his team has a chance!
CigarAsh Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Still trying to learn the game but love watching it when they show it in the states. I'll jump in with a wild guess. Springboks make the final to defend against the kiwis. Kiwis win 30 - 25.
dicko Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Wallas v All blacks Wallas by a penalty goal.. 25-22
mazolaman Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Ahem....Let's not forget the might of England! I reckon only England and France have much chance from the Northern Hemisphere,even then,it'll be tough. But NZ could end up meeting France,and we know what happens then...... And if England play the ground game against Oz,we should do them.... SA look the strongest. Tough to call,but will look at the fixture list,and get back to you.
NJP Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 As an Aussie this hurts a little. NZ VS SA Final. NZ wins by 15.
ZinZan Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 The toss up between the Group A and Group B is gonna be difficult to call. Group C & D looks easy for the favs.
kiwirwe Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 As an Aussie this hurts a little. NZ VS SA Final. NZ wins by 15. i feel your pain, No i dont LOL good luck Bro. Ps if i win you can come smoke one with me :-)
riazp Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 I have France V Australia in the finals, i've got France winning 21-15
Onsto Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 All Blacks v Wallabies. My guess is NZ 29 - Aus 16.
cookie_1978 Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 My guess - and I know absolutely nothing about this: New Zealand - 28 - Australia - 18 Thanks for the contest
tmac77 Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Okay I am in: I have NZ: 25 - Aus: 20 Put a pair of skates on them and it's Canada 4 - USA 1
frenchkiwi Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Smithy you might want to add this to your post on top - an online spreadsheet that works out who plays who. i will have a fiddle and get back to you with my prediction ;-)
ZinZan Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 I'm goin out on a limb and say France v South Africa, 23-20.
asmith Posted September 8, 2011 Author Posted September 8, 2011 I'm not happy about this, I would love to see James Horwill lifting Bill but I fear the final will look like this. NZ 23 - AUS 15
kiwirwe Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 I'm not happy about this, I would love to see James Horwill lifting Bill but I fear the final will look like this. NZ 23 - AUS 15 Be Happy i like you more and more lol
Fuzz Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 I was originally thinking a major upset, Namibia vs Japan with Namibia walking away the RWC champs! Instead I'll be a bit more patriotic and vote Aus beats SA, 24 to 18.
Chaki Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Since hope springs eternal: NZ 27 - France 21
NJP Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 i feel your pain, No i dont LOL good luck Bro. Ps if i win you can come smoke one with me :-) I will hold you to that, and return the cigar if my tip is right.
