What are your predictions for the Rugby World Cup Quater-Finals?

The unfairness of the draw sucks but it does have one advantage. Normally a first-seed vs second-seed match is only semi-competitive but this time all the best four teams are playing each other, as are the second-best four teams. Each game is hard to predict and likely to be really close.

Personally, I think that the northern hemisphere team is a slight favourite in each game. The most likely thing would be two or three northern teams getting to the semis but literally anything can happen. It will be fascinating.

So only one northern hemisphere side into the semi finals and that's England, who'd have thought no Ireland and no France.

Looking like a New Zealand South Africa final.

At least two of the quarter finals were worthy of the final with South Africa a a New Zealand showing why they are both so feared.

@OldBrit You echo my thoughts exactly, though I would like to see it as England v New Zealand.
