Quarter Final Time - Knock Out Matches
At this stage, with our own points table looking a little congested, we need to introduce an extra bit to our picks. The aim of this is to try to find distinct 1st, 2nd & 3rd place holders, a tie breaker if you like.

So, from here, what we are looking for is your winner pick & a score margin of less than 13 or more than 13.
Why 13 ? No idea, seems as good a number as any. Maybe a converted try & 2 penalties ?

Important
Please get your picks in before kick off.

For copy & paste

41   South Africa   Wales   more   less
42   New Zealand   France   more   less
43   Ireland   Argentina   more   less
44   Australia   Scotland   more   less

From this point on, all matches will end with a winner being found, either through extra time, sudden death or a kick off. So there is no option in our picks for a draw.

Any issues, just holler.

Just taking a moment to clarify & repeat the below.

So, from here,
we are looking for your winner pick & a score margin of less than 13 or more than or equal to13.
Why 13 ? No idea, seems as good a number as any.
Maybe its the sum of the 4 different possible ways of scoring.
A try, conversion, dropped goal & a penalty ??   :-\

Important
Please get your picks in before kick off.

Use the below for copy & paste
Please pick your winner, then bold that or delete the other.
Then pick a win by less than 13, or more than or equal to. Bold the one you pick or delete the other.

41   South Africa   Wales   more   less
42   New Zealand   France   more   less
43   Ireland   Argentina   more   less
44   Australia   Scotland   more   less

From this point on, all matches will end with a winner being found, either through extra time, sudden death or a kick off. So there is no option in our picks for a draw.

I hope that makes things a little clearer   :)

Quite right JL, The Bonnie Lads need to play outa their skins, get all prickly, perhaps eat thistles for a day or two??

If we had a hit squad for the below, & maybe sent them off to Pomgolia, just might make a bit of a difference . . .

Unwanted wallabies reported in Bay of Plenty | Stuff.co.nz (http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/73080361/unwanted-wallabies-reported-in-bay-of-plenty)

I'm guessing that's just a tad unlikely though, mores the pity.  ;D

Got a feeling about Wales, & I think Aussie will have a blow up sometime soon, not likely for this game tho . . .
