Results and predictions
Normally 41-10 is a good result, but the three previous times NZ played Tonga the average margin was 74 points, not 31. To be fair Tonga has got better over the years, and are now ranked No 12 in the world.
There are four matches on today:
- Scotland v Romania 1.00 pm
- Fiji v Namibia 3.30 pm
- France v Japan 6.00 pm
- Argentina v England 8.30 pm
Scotland is ranked no 7 and Romania no 17, so I’m picking Scotland.
Likewise I’d call Fiji to beat Namibia. Mind you if I was at the game, I’d cheer for Namibia.
I doubt anyone expects Japan to beat France (in fact you can’t , but hell if they do we’ll allow them to hunt all the whales they want 🙂
The big clash should be Argentina v England. They should put the Falklands up as the prize 🙂
