Quarter Finals
With the pool stages now complete we can take a look at how the Quarter Finals will line up.
Wales - Argentina - Saturday 14th October
Ireland - New Zealand - Saturday 14th October
France - South Africa - Sunday 15th October
England - Fiji - Sunday 15th October
The winner of Ireland V New Zealand will play the winner of Wales V Argentina.
The winner of France V South Africa will play the winner of England V Fiji.
As per my prediction, as shown below, I was not too far off. France were too strong for New Zealand in Pool A, Ireland stormed through Pool B, Wales were the top dog in Pool C as Australia disappointed and Fiji provided the surprise package, while England were the clear winners in Pool D.
We wont get the Ireland v New Zealand final I had been hoping for, but there is a strong chance of an Ireland v France final come the end of the month.
