Poll closes automatically at kickoff

All RWC voting is being counted in a half arsed tipping competition.

1 point for correct result, 3 points for a correct result and margin. No points for a draw

Ireland too smart, and they will pip it

mariner4life

I've tipped Ireland, not because i necessarily think they are better, but because they will have targeted this game first and foremost, with two nice leg-stretching warm-ups, while South Africa had to think about Scotland first

Fuck all in it though

I'm coming around to Ireland winning this outright which doesn't mean they need to win this game, but think they will anyway. Think Ireland break their quarters hoodoo, preferably not playing us

Best outcome is a load of injuries and RCs. We will need all the help we can get come playoffs time

I tipped Ireland only because I want them to win - I soooo want to face them in the QF

I think the Saffas will take it.

Will be 1 red card and a controversial no card in the game,

@Duluth ooh I can hear the whining voices in green already

what time is k/o for this one?

As much as the Boks lost with Marx, they really gain something with Handre Pollard's call up. Superb controller of the game and better goal kicker than Libbock.

They better hope Bongi doesn't go lame in training this week

Boks have said Pollard won't be playing in this match though. Maybe he'll be ready to play against Tonga

I'd be surprised if he is not starting in the QFs.

Ireland.

Who after downing the Boks in a tough encounter will then lose to Scotland.

…..and not qualify due to inferior points differential.

Boks by 9+

By running Ireland ragged

I'm not convinced Ireland will win the final but I think they might tip the Boks. I have zero reason for this. Apart from their cunning Celtic ways.
This game is going to be craft-beer epic.
