Seen a rumour that 5 try Arundell is being frozen out because of an upset with Farrell. Claim has been made by Andy Goode in a podcast.
 
Now the competition gets serious!! First up Wales v Argentina. This will be a tight game but I am tipping Wales to edge this with a brace from Rees-Zammit. The second match is a really hard one to call. My heart wants Ireland, my head says that New Zealand's massive experience in the knock-out stage will see them prevail. I just hope I am totally wrong about this. Then we have England v Fiji. England have a habit of making heavy weather of games that they are expected to win, but I think they will have too much for Fiji. And finally, the hardest one of all to call, France v South Africa. If the French can move the heavyweight Springbok pack around the pitch and play with pace, they might just pull this off.

Whcih would see

New Zealand v Wales in one semi, and France v England in the other.

Good start on the predictions front!
 
Not a rugby fan really but don't mind international at this level and watching with an Irish pal.

Brilliant watch so far and really rooting for Ireland. Think they've been better team really but NZ have shown that bit more composure in vital moments.

That try at the end was huge and could be turning point. Mon the Irish!
