I guess we went to well with our predictions on days one and two. Today our bubble burst and we only called 5 results correctly. of the lower tier Guyana did for China, Japan Hong Kong, though the red card early on made it a mountain to climb for the local team. The big upset was Spain doing Tonga and one we had debated long over Canada Russia. In the main competition we did not expect Samoa to go down to South Africa 14-27, though on their day the Boks can beat anyone. We have highlighted our errors in bold.
Semi-Finals up next and again we have some tough calls to come again now. Check out our predictions again in bold. The semi-final winners in the qualifiers will be in next years top tier, whilst the losers will play off for the last place.
