I've never had Pickled Herring, Pig's Feet, or Eggs but they all sound nasty!

Hey Gandie I hope you and yours are doing good. Tradition continued

Meh, forgot to lodge some predictions. Im out...but will still plug away.

England have some real problems going into the Australia game.

Tell me about it.

I don't think that the kick to the corner was necessarily the wrong choice but it didn't pan out at all well.

Look at it the other way. If they had gone for the 3pts, and missed, would there really be people saying "they should've gone for the corner" ?? It was absolutely the wrong call in the context of the World Cup as a whole, especially since they got the bonus point against Fiji. They wouldn't be out of the cup had they got the 3 points there.

#SendThemHome At least they don't have far to go!

Seriously though, it's still stupid the group was the way it was. Don't do the draw 3 years in advance.... don't put 4 of the top 9 nations in one group. A top team had to go out but this is not a normal "gone out in the group stages" - it has an asterisk next to it. Sure it sucks (especially after the Wales debacle) but it doesn't make you a terrible country.

Oh and for goodness sake, drop Farrell, he belongs with Dylan Hartley in the "does not have the temperament to play international rugby" category.

Think this is the last time I'll bother running this, a) lack of demand, only 2 people have put scores in for all the games, and b) at some point in the not too distant future the whole website is going to stop working due to use of deprecated code.

Well Gandy, sincere thanks for running this predictions comp. Its still fun.

I feel for you guys. Considering the highs of previous world cups for England, this one must hurt.

and by the way, I cant seem to log in and edit my next selections?

I fixed the logon problems a few days back. Due to change of webhost.

I wonder how many Falkland War vets were helping the local crowd boo the Aussies at last nights game?

The final should be a great game. This is on neutral ground. No Eden park to save New Zealand....no Suncorp Stadium to save Australia. My only concern is there are more Kiwi's in London than there are Australians.

Well played NZ.

But seriously...Wayne Barnes? WTF? He was right next to it too?

The best two sides were at the final, not so sure about the best officials.

As a clueless American I can only guess that this is an example of Rugby:
