Australia-England
New Zealand-France

South Africa-Fiji
Argentina-Scotland
I'll go with Australia & New Zealand on Saturday--going way out on the limb with those picks. I'll take South Africa over Fiji leaving us with, honestly, the only competitive contest on the docket in Argentina-Scotland. I'll go with Scotland just because...well, I don't know.
In group play, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa dominated as is to be expected. Argentina came to play, didn't realize they were going to hang with the big dogs. France and Scotland, the upcoming Euro powers, were right there as well.
Little surprised Somoa didn't fare a little better, they're well known as a rugby nation. Wales, as well, is a comer in the Euro rugby scene but this is the World Cup.
USA, Portugal and Namibia all put up valiant efforts for dead last--even Japan and Canada eked out draws (granted, it was the same game).
