Hello Libby!  You can follow the Rugby World Cup at a glance here: www.rugbyworldcup.com/fixturesForty matches have now been played, with eight more to go. I have a strong feeling that the trophy will be heading for the Southern Hemisphere!  Richard  |

Hello Libby! Hayley and Arnaud New Zealand and France play each other in the second quarter final at Cardiff this Saturday. If New Zealand and South Africa both win their quarter finals, they'll meet in the first semi final, so they can't both be in the final on 31 October. Richard |

.......and England plays cards whilst watching these games.  Martin When England played Uruguay I liked the commentator's remark that it was "England's last match before drawing up a chair and watching the tournament with the rest of us !" |

Richard Yes Richard with due respect to the home nations I'll be very surprised if New Zealand and Australia don't meet in the final and on the evidence of what I've seen so far, I think Australia might just shade it.  Our veteran and much respected commentator Ian Robertson has tipped them to win. A brave call, considering he's Scottish ! |

It is at the quarter final stage. New Zealand will play France. Australia plays Scotland. Ireland plays Argentina and South Africa plays Wales. Sent from my SM-G900I using proboards Of the home nations Scotland would appear to have the hardest quarter-final and Ireland the easiest. Must be luck of the Irish again ! |

NZ thrashed France 62 to 13 and so will play South Africa in one semifinal after they just beat Wales

The All Blacks finally found their true form last night to the detriment of the French who by the second half were totally shell shocked. I can't see South Africa stopping them next weekend.

Wales played with great heart and courage but that isn't enough to win a game at this level. They made too many mistakes in their own half. Well done nevertheless.
