I wonder is there hay to be made backing the weaker team on the handicap, is there still the incentive of an extra point for 4 tries or more ?

Another early start....

Game 1: Australia vs Italy [Group C] 4:30am
Game 2: Ireland vs USA [Group C] 7:00am
Game 3: South Africa vs Wales [Group D] 9:30am

Australia to win by between 20-26 points. Australia are simnply too strong for Italy.
Ireland to win by between 11-15 points. Ireland usually hammer USA but they are improving and its the WC.
South Africa to win by between 5-9 points. South Africa still have enough in them to see off Wales.

Maddog this is the scoring system...

Win - 4 points
Draw - 2 points
Loss - 0 points
4 or more tries - 1 point
Loss by 7 points or less - 1 point

Is it possible to get the bonus point for 4 or more tries if you lose the game?

Armaghgeddon · September 10, 2011, 09:27:15 PM

Yes you can still get the bonus point by scoring 4+ tries and lose the game.

Loves the way the commentors can't stand Ireland doing what they done, ungracious, unworthy - personally didn't see too much long in it. Don't think I could just stand there and watch them psyche you out like that. I'd either do what the lads did there or not watch it at all (probably the latter)

For feck's sake, is this World Cup thing not over yet?

Forever Green · September 11, 2011, 03:32:02 AM

7 on a Sunday morning. Away on with that shite

The Aussies without their bestvplayer a self inflicted wound, now have the weather against them. What about an upset?

Armaghgeddon · September 11, 2011, 05:11:50 AM

Italys defence is playing very well here.
Almost HT and only 3 in it.

Capt Pat · September 11, 2011, 05:18:26 AM

6-6 at the break. The Aussies have had enough of the ball but not their best outside back to use it. The Italians even made a few stupid mistakes in that half orcthey would be leading.

Anyone have links to watch the matches for free?
