Our tip is still for England to pip New Zealand and get through to win the final for the Amsterdam crown but New Zealand to take the title. Australia to take third place with USA fourth.
Our picks for the quarters were:
New Zealand, Netherlands and Russia from Pool A, England, Canada and South Africa Pool B and Australia and USA from pool C. What we got was NZ, Russia, England, Canada, Australia, USA and then Spain and France who we did not expect to get through. Netherlands and South Africa both ending up in the Bowl.
