    We in Australia, know better than anyone what the Kiwis are capable of STH. They've been pounding us for ages. <laugh> But Australia has ambushed them in the past and this outfit has been playing the best football in years. If it is an Aust v NZ final, the Wallabies will feel they can give it a real shake.

    Anyone any views on the Aussies -14 handicap mark? Sometimes these knockouts are win at all cost jobs but we've seen 2 brutal hammerings dished out the last two games. Do you reckon Australia will also show no mercy to the Scots or will it be a grind like the Springboks?

    Really enjoyed these quarter finals for different reasons, obviously not the result I wanted there but all been hugely entertaining. I don't think I've ever seen as sexy a performance like last nights though, should really be on Pornhub that match.

    I don't know about the betting Beefy, but I can assure you that if the Wallabies get their foot on Scotland's throat, they won't let up.

    Having backed the Aussies to win the World Cup after they thrashed England, I'm actually a little concerned by this Argentinian side. Assuming the Aussies beat Scotland, I think it will be a very tough semi final for them.

    I thought the Argies would edge it today, but I didn't expect them to thrash the Irish the way they did. It would have been an even bigger scoreline to had they not had a player sin binned when they where running riot in the first half.

    Looking at the handicap for Scotland v Australia I'd probably go with the Aussies -14 if I was forced to choose, though not gonna risk any money on it, as have made my profit on Argentina for the day :biggrin:

    Beefy, the Aussies put 30 on England and as **** as we are, we aren't Scotland ****. And I don't mean to piss anyone off, thats just how things have shaken out in NH rugby at the moment.

    Surely with those two world class breakdown lads Pocock and Hooper, the Aussies will have more than enough ball the feed their world class backs.

    Aussies backs have always been top top standard, but this time they've added a forwards platform to their game.

    That's what I thought too Cyc. With him in you'd be fancying them to run up a score. He's a loss alright.

    McCalman's been playing out of his skin though Beefy, so although Pocock is a huge loss, his replacement is quality.

    Apparently Australia have never come from behind at half time to win a match at the World Cup:eek:

    Even though I'm a Scot I think this will be the time that stat gets stuffed
