Yes - I’ve got tickets for both the Wales and England matches <cheers>

I saw Wales v Australia in the 1999 and 2015 World Cup tournaments - we lost both <doh>

I saw England v Australia in the 1991 World Cup Final

Think I may be a lucky mascot for the Wallabies <laugh>

I think we'll beat Fiji, although it will be tough.
That will be it for England.
I really feel it's going to be Ireland's World Cup and if they do win it, it will be thoroughly deserved.

Could be and it would be deserved.

But I would not write off France on home soil and it could be foolish to underestimate the All Blacks.

England seem weaker than those mentioned teams, but it will be a cup ties and stranger things have happened.

Should be good viewing!

Not writing any off out of Ireland, NZ, SA, France and England.
But Ireland remind me of England in 2003.
Gone into the tournament as world No1 and beaten everyone.
It's their WC this time imo.

Based on yesterday's performance, I'm not as confident we'll beat Fijii. Error strewn performance. Starting Care at scrum half should give us half a chance. I'd keep faith with Farrell and drop Ford, possibly bringing him on in 2nd hf
