Does Argentina’s result against France give Wales hope?
Right, bear with me on this one as I’m certain that this doesn’t make a huge amount of sense, but I’m being traditionally Welsh and hopelessly optimistic about RWC 2007.
Argentina have beaten France and look likely to top their group as Ireland looked poor against Namibia. Assuming that the Tri-Nations teams top their groups, then the quarter0finals would be as follows:
Australia vs England
New Zealand vs France
South Africa vs Wales
Argentina vs Scotland/Italy
The first semi-final is likely to be between Australia and New Zealand, unless the French can find top gear against the All Blacks and really shock them. Wales have a chance to surprise South Africa, the weakest of the Tri-Nations teams, which would lead to a semi-final against Argentina, who by that stage may have run out of steam. So on that reckoning, it could be a New Zealand vs Wales final in the World Cup. And in a one-off match, who knows what could happen!
OK, I’ll come back to reality soon.
