It actually benefits us because we now win the group, should France have beaten us we’d have been runners up?

Is it PotG?

Honestly think we'd have won the game anyway.
Only 'downside' is will have to listen to it on the wireless, en route to the Villa.
Might try and watch it.

We're now likely to play Australia as we are now group winners and France are likely to face Wales.
The main advantage is that we now get more rest and recovery time than our quarter-final opponents.
I feel very sorry for all the supporters that have paid thousands to travel out to see the England v France game.
Its a tough one, do you want two weeks off training or a match?
danger we will go into the Australia game on the back foot
Boooooo!

Possibly the opposite. A two week gap is perfect. With the recovery times so much longer in rugby (this tournament has had some mad five day gaps for some teams) it's going to mean that England will be best prepared.
The short gaps have been unfair. After some matches there will be players who can barely walk properly for three days.

Group A is ridiculous with 5 of the 6 players under 400 in the same group!
At least one of us is going to miss out. How are your nerves, Pav?

You have the advantage at the moment because on count-back you have got two correct predictions whereas [MENTION=258]Pavilionaire[/MENTION] has only one.

A few of us here now fighting our own individual battles!
Speaking as someone in the Group of Death it looks like 4th spot is a straight dogfight between me and hart's shirt and that - in turn - boils down to whether Wales beat Uruguay by more or less than 40 on Sunday.
So my message to hart's shirt this weekend is - may the best man win!

I'm cheering as much for the typhoon as the teams at the moment...

Well, quite Sir. Whoever comes out on top will have definitely earned it over the 40 predictions.
However, there may be a little chink of light for both of us. jessiejames went for Wales by +30 in the Wales v Uruguay game. 48 or more point victory for Wales and there'd be an 18 point swing for me, 40 or more and it's a 10 point swing for you. That along with an Ireland win by more than 25 points would make our group very interesting indeed.
Let's see!

The game between Namibia and Canada scheduled for earlier today was cancelled. The remaining three fixtures today were given the green light.
Here are the points after the USA 19:31 Tonga match:
Congratulations to [MENTION=9822]KZNSeagull[/MENTION], [MENTION=8619]Guy Fawkes[/MENTION] and [MENTION=35196]Is it PotG?[/MENTION] who all correctly predicted the winning margin.
