RWC Week 3: Wales v Australia

[Duluth]

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

[Machpants]

Tricky as, but I think Wales will just pip it - but roll the dice!

[mariner4life]

I don't necessarily think Wales are better, just they have more clarity of purpose, and that should be enough to beat this Australian team who are all over the shop

Which almost guarantees the Wallabies by 15

[bayimports]

Both mentally (confidence) off their game and winner the ones likely to fuck it up the least.. flip a coin, possibly Wales

[GibbonRib]

Yeah, you need to add a "coin-toss" option to the poll, so the computer just picks a tip at random

[GibbonRib]

For this match, more than most, the points margin that really matters is the number of game points / bonus points

E.g. 5-0, 4-2, 5-1

Definitely in line with your recent form

Wales narrowly. Eddie goes home after giving the dirt-trackers a go at Portugal and barely winning.

Ahead of Australia’s date with destiny this weekend, coach Jones confirmed that both Skelton and Tupou will not play against Wales in Lyon.

“Neither of those will be available for Wales,” Jones told reporters after the loss to Fiji.

MIND GAMES!

I was going to write exactly this as I feel pretty much so identical.

All signs point to Wales.

Which is why Oz will win.

Agreed. I’ve plumped for Aus by one score based purely on the feeling that they have to click at least once. But form is clearly with Wales.

Glad Wales can rely on your company @Catogrande. Is it called "Large Pussies" or "Bermuda Triangle Whiskers" by any chance?

[nostrildamus]

I don't want to predict anything. The form of these teams is so loyalty and soul-destroying if I plump for one it is bound to be the other one.

[Catogrande]

@nostrildamus

Form. Form.

I have nothing firm going on for Wales or any other rugby team. Edit now in place and thanks for alerting me.

[nostrildamus]

"I have nothing firm going on for Wales" Ha! I didn't even deliberately misread it that way but "firm" as in "company/business"! I dread looking up the urban dictionary for Welsh chubby.
Edit. Yup, it appears that you can get your undercarriage washed at Chubby Welsh Autos. Scores well with the employees, they look forward to regular raises.
Oh it is located in Narrabeen, New South Wales, Australia, but nothing's perfect.

Wales by 9+ scoring 4 tries in a barn burner

Oz get 2 losing BP

Eh? How do Oz lose by 9+ and get 2BP?

The fact that the way Wales have been playing can be described as anything remotely approximating "form" is a damning indictment of the Wallabies

You and @mariner4life are on the reverse-reverse curse pretty hard.

Fucking Queenslanders....
