You sure about France? They got hammered last weekend, which I quite enjoyed watching

My picks.... with scores and game predictions!!!

England 31 v Pacific Islanders 10, ENG win, but with many injuries from many Polynesian sidesteps....

France 3 v Argentina 21, - Argentina score 3 brilliant running tries.

Ireland 36 v Canada 14, a grand ol game, Canada tackle hard (most used to play hockey...) and O'Driscoull gets dropped on his head.

Italy 8 v Australia 29, The Convicts win, but unconvincingly. The gel in their hair gets on their hands and drop the ball alot, and the Aussies moan. and moan, and whinge, and moan.

Scotland 0 v New Zealand 72, The men in Black are just too good. Outside of any year that hosts a little yellow trophy....

Wales 14 v South Africa 10 , An upset, Warren Gatland's lads take it to the Saffas, who didn't like the cold. Habana again is brilliant, and scores both tries for the republic.

Going to be a good weekend!!

Didnt everyone predict that?

No

That is why I am predicting a relatively close game. Lot of very talented but very new AB's in that team.

Nonu, Rokocoko, Donald, Weepu, Williams, and Mealamu could take Scotland on their own - the others are just there to make up the numbers...

NEW ZEALAND: 15 Isaia Toeava, 14 Anthony Tuitavake, 13 Richard Kahui, 12 Ma'a Nonu, 11 Joe Rokocoko, 10 Stephen Donald, 9 Piri Weepu, 8 Liam Messam, 7 Adam Thomson, 6 Kieran Read, 5 Ali Williams, 4 Anthony Boric, 3 John Afoa, 2 Keven Mealamu (c), 1 Jamie Mackintosh.

That is why I am predicting a relatively clsoe game. Lot of very talneted but very new AB's in that team.

clotheslines



They haven't had the flair/players to do that for 20 years



If that happens there will be more moaning and whinging than the aussies will ever manage



Italian hair gel a secret weapon? Who'd a thunk it?



Scot's to get a thump. Not sure if the scoreline will be that severe though.



Mostly wishful thinking me thinks

clotheslines - Thats their tackling style.. Polynesian Sidestep... Mike Catt knows all about the Poly SideStep circa 1995...Italian hair gel a secret weapon? Who'd a thunk it? - Nope... all the pretty boy aussies like Giteau..

Scotland v New Zealand, NZ by 10

110

Remember it is not a RWC year.

The French Rugby Union team didnt play last weekend.... you are confusing league with union.


England v Pacific Islanders England by 40
France v Argentina, France by 5
Ireland v Canada, Ireland by 60
Italy v Australia, Aus by 50
Scotland v New Zealand, NZ by 10
Wales v South Africa, Wales by 10

England v Pacific Islanders England by 40 No way!
Ireland v Canada, Ireland by 60 Again, No way! no skills, but tough lads.
Scotland v New Zealand, NZ by 10

Well that makes perfect sense talking about the French rugby union chances this weekend.

I hear the french tiddly winks team lost to Namibia last weekend as well. The rugby union team is really stuffed

You know what....

Actually, forget it

I think Smit is on the bench.
