the white orcs
Is it Romania that are " the Mighty Oaks?
It seems it's only Scotland and Ireland that don't have nicknames. Most are just named after what ever is on their shirt badge or national animal.

The excitement is getting a bit too much for me already 😀.
Four games that are too close to call.
I feel like Wales have a 51% chance of winning, but it could easily be Argentina.
Ireland should beat New Zealand. That is probably the easiest game to call. Their consistency, their recent long winning run,including the Grand Slam and Tour win in NZ - all bode well. NZ have shown that they can win when on top, but have also shown they can be beaten.
Sunday, I'm going to go for England and France. I'd like Fiji to do well, but it would be really good to see an all Northern Hemisphere semi-finals.
So, backing my prediction of Argentina, Ireland, Fiji and France I've just had a punt at 33/1.
If you swapped out France for SA...40/1.
They seem like decent odds. I'm surprised, not being a gambler, I wouldn't have expected you to get such favourable odds.
What odds could I get on an England v Wales final? 😜
England v Wales final?
This thread would be absolute carnage.

My nerves are totally on edge already!
Its certainly possible given the easy route .........

Still waiting to see if Liam pulls out 5mins before kick off.
Wales should win but then could very easily lose too.

Scotland have a very favourable lineup for 2024 6 nations:
1: Wales v Scotland
2: Scotland v France
3: Scotland v England
4: Italy v Scotland
5: Ireland v Scotland
I can't wait to hear their excuse for only winning 1 or 2 games.
😉
Saucer of cream?
I'm going to wait until tomorrow night before I reveal whether that's my list of winners or losers 🙂
Never seen that before.
Honestly, if he says "Paper" one more time......

Pretty sure that was a no arms shoulder charge - still not a yellow though so a bit academic
Since when was that a wrap when both arms were by his side?!
Ref is a bit iffy as he said didn't see it but it seems like he was looking straight at it!
Adams is a decent player but that's how he react under pressure. Just keep pilling it down his wing
Argentinian ran into him after the whistle then went down like he'd been shot!! Pen seems about right to me. If he'd binned Adam's he'd have to have looked at the afters from Argentinians running in from miles away!

Spoken like a true Welshman.
Of course he did.... didn't shoulder barge him in the slightest 🙄
Some welly that.
Ooft lucky Tompkins height drops suddenly but a tight call
What a game this is turning out to be.
****ety **** **** 😭😭😭

Right call my aese that was foul play anything else mitigates down from red or yellow. Ref got that very very wrong
What a game this is turning out to be.
Doesn't look like it to me. Wales messing it up, handling errors, 4 lineouts given away.
I'm sure you tell your pupils to read the question. Have another look.
Well played Argentina, great to see them in a semi final.
Better team won.
Oh well, it was good while it lasted. Quarter finals and played decently. Arguably the better team in many ways - unfortunately not the one that matters most.
Aa.
Nope. Correct decision according to the laws and guidence.
Bugger.
Argentina deserve that win.
That'll teach me to pop off to do something else with Wales 10-0 up and totally dominant.
Good win for Argentina and the best team won
Exciting as it was close, thought standard was very poor.
Nope. Correct decision according to the laws and guidence.
Can you show your working out on that!
