There can only be four.

I don't know about you but I have been waiting just to long for as they call the "Business End" of this years tournament. Now the time is here and I feel its about time I share my ten cents on the Rugby World Cup Quarter Finals.

FIRST UP IS

Wales vs South Africa

After a humiliating record breaking defeat its been tough for the Springboks but as expected they topped their pool. The Welsh on the other side have had their own struggles  on the injury front but they did well to get thus far considering.

They come up against a South African outfit that are expected to "at the least" reach the Semi-Final and the critics say that could be just the added pressure that gives the Welsh a chance.

Prediction
It would be foolish of me to suggest anything other than a Green and Gold victory especially because the Welsh don't exactly have their strongest squad available but don't expect it to be by many.

NEXT IS

Australia vs Scotland
The Australia team have peaked at just the right time and have been impressive so far, in fact since before the World Cup they have been on a upward curve. They face dangerous Scotland team that should they defeat the Australians it could possibly eclipse the Japanese triumph over the South Africans.

Don't get me wrong the Scottish deserve to be in the last eight but this is as far as I think they will go, the future though does look bright for them.

Prediction
Australia should win but the news that David Pocock and Isreal Falou will miss the match does throw a spanner in the works.

THEN MY MATCH OF THE WEEKEND

Ireland vs Argentina
After the elation of beating France excuse me let me begin again, after the elation of avoiding the All Blacks the Irish now find a much improved The Rugby Championship Argentinians' standing in their wake.

If truth be told both teams are in quite a fortunate position as the prize of victory is immense. Nothing motivates you more than being able to make history and that being said this could well be the most open fixture of the quarter finals.

Prediction
I can see Argentina pulling off a win and it could well be by 8 or more.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST

New Zealand vs France
The 2007 defeat rings loud and clear which ever way you look at it and just like with Henry's All Blacks back then they are expected to win, but we all know what happened there. Granted many things went in the French favour that day but with the French team, especially against the All Blacks you just never know which French team will come to the party and on the day they can be world beaters. The fact that the All Blacks haven't really been tested in this campaign does sound a feint alarm.

Prediction
Yes the All Blacks never wanted to face France and they haven't been at their best but they haven't been out of first gear and that could spell trouble for Les Bleus.

So JCBA calls for an all Southern Hemisphere Rugby World Cup Semi Final, ironically hosted in the Northern Hemisphere.
