    I like the assignments.

    The England vs Aus game which looked predictably unpredictable has the three Frenchman to ensure anarchy.

    The France vs Wales game which was is bound to be a coin flip given both nations records in knockout games at RWC has the most stable quartet of Peyper/Williams/Berry/Jonker.

    If Berry were from a home union he would have a QF for sure.

    We avoided the frogs and got Owens. Everything else is gravy

    Will Owens favour NZ quite as much without Richie there? šŸ¤”

    I almost feel sorry for ENG and AUS supporters (almost), its like having the whole "axis of evil" against you. Wow, the frenchies and skeen.

    The most disturbing thing is that RWC likes that combo and could inflict that combination on a semi and/or final... (I hope some sanity prevails)

    I feel a new betting market coming on... how many cards issued?

    Three yellows and a controversial red across the quarters.

    I'm stoked about Owens, games he refs are usually pretty free flowing, not what Ireland want at all.

    @Kirwan Agree, although I am now waiting for the article from the NH press.

    "Fresh from conduring up a typhoon Tew and Hansen now rig official ref schedules"

    I agree that there is usually at least one unexpected result.

    I fear that will be our match.

    who got Skeeny?

    The most damming indictment on Skeen is that not even the Ferns most noted contrarians will have a crack at defending him.

    We got Owens? OMG The Irish will have to stfu on the field or he will march them constantly. Hell I would have taken Barnes as well. Thankfully no Skeeny - the convicts and the oppressors get him and garces - that's one clusterfuck of officiating waiting to happen.

    Would love for Japan to win but there will be no complacency from SA.

    I reckon Aus could upset Eng but will need to pull out all the stops and have great discipline - especially no cards.

    Wales to edge France and NZ by 15.

    Am on secondment at the local Water Authority.

    Executive Manager in the area I'm working is a big rugby fan. Know him a bit through rugby.

    Anyway comes a loud exclamation from his office this arvo.

    " ... expletive ... Garces! And two bloody French touchies! .. "

    Me and Saffa bloke at the next desk advise him he's got Skeenie as well.

    Seems he got a text from his Kiwi wife who informed him.

    Apparently she followed up with: " it gets better ... we got Nigel ... "

    this is deliciously bitter

    And yet also making light fun of Owens' sexuality - let's face it, Read is an ugly fluffybunny compared to Ruchie.

    So its a little of everything.

    I went with Aus / NZ / Wales / SA

    So largely going with the bookies except Aussie to beat England.
    Farrell will be red-carded for a no-arms-shoulder-to-the-head 20 minutes in and England, while plucky and courageous for the remainder of the game, will finally be edged by a late penalty after a Pocock turnover in the ruck.

    Eddie Jones and Michael Cheika to end in a draw for the most off-the-wall post match comments.

    My Aussie mate text me during the haka of the first match at the RWC and was remarking how hot that guy leading the haka was, I assumed she was talking about TJ, but nope she meant Read. Aussie bogan chicks are weird (there I go with the superfluous word bogan again, but then again I guess possums are protected species over here.
