2019 Rugby World Cup Draw

[Toolbox]

Can the Northern Hemisphere group beat the Southern Hemisphere group?

England 08:15 Australia
New Zealand 11:15 Ireland

For both England and Ireland, this is not going to be easy, especially for Ireland, who have to try and beat the World Champions twice in a row.
Only 4 countries have won the World Cup, England being the only Northern Hemisphere to win.


New Zealand - 3 wins - 1987, 2011, 2015
Australia - 2 wins - 1991, 1999
South Africa - 2 wins - 1995, 2007
England - 1 win - 2003

Cheika has never beaten Jones as a coach after 6 attempts. I don't think his luck will change tomorrow, England to beat the Aussies.

So a team that has never won a wc quarter final game against a team unbeaten in 17 wc games. Does anyone think that we can actually beat the all blacks? Or are we all just hoping that we can win.

Ireland 5/1 to beat NZ. Nobody backing Ireland Ketchup.

England 4/1 to win the WC, not a bad bet. Might put a 20 on her

[JakeGylleenhaal]

So is that a no, you dont think we will beat them.

always a chance, you never know

[JakeGylleenhaal]

I wouldn't blame anybody for not backing us jake. We would want to find our 2018 form to have any chance. Do u think it will be a close game?

we would want to find our 2018 form indeed, thats the thing with Ireland, they are inconsistent. on their day they can beat anyone.
i think NZ will win by 5-12 pts
but as i said previous you never know on the day, which ireland turns up. the first 20 mins will tell if Ireland are at it but they need to perform unbelievably for 80 mins to get the win. also anthony foley anniversary was during the week which may have helped focus a few munster minds

i back England to go all the way

[SteveB]

So is that a no, you dont think we will beat them.

I don't think we will beat them. We could win but it would be against the odds.

[tony1]

We have no hope of beating the All Blacks.

[JakeGylleenhaal]

The all blacks are a team that could destroy you in a ten minute spell so yes we need to play well for the full 80 mins.

Chat tommorow Ketchup. I expect WCL to have some words for us tommorrow morning

[Ryankelvin]

We have no hope of beating the All Blacks.

Was just tuning in and was going to say I think we can win this but Tony has taken wind out of my sails , so ok we probably get beaten by 7 to 10 points

[Ryankelvin]

No messing there. Tony says it as he sees it. Ah tony, you've put us all in a bad mood now.

Just for the Craic of it , I think we should believe we can win. Think of all the big underdog victories in the history of sport. Even japan beating Ireland and Scotland. If they can do that we should take hope from their achievements

[westcorklad]

Much as I would love an Irish win tomorrow I just can`t see it happening. Whatever chance Ireland do have depends on Sexton being in top form. If he is below par or gets injured in the early stages then I think it will be curtains. I predict the All Blacks to win by 10 to 15 points. In tomorrow`s other QF Eddie Jones will come up against his old club team mate Michael Cheika. The Wallabies have been out of sorts in this tournament and I think England will beat them by 20 to 25 points,
