Think it does.
Indeed it does. Well, it does if this dodgy website I found's calculator works.

7 - Scotland
8 - France
9 - Argentina

So, if we beat Georgia and then get 2 x 6N wins, we should be in the top 8 for the RWC draw I would say.

We go to 7th on Monday, France 8th and RG 9th

Wales will have to win to keep 6th, but against that springbok side even the current Wales team should be able to beat them

Mind u the Springboks may strike back harder like they did in the wc

To early to say, unfortunatly with France being below us they will get good points for beating us

Really need Wales and Italy to consolidate 8th but i reckon the boys can take Frnace away

Current French team team seems to be finding it's stride.Wouldn't count on a Victory over there.

France would probably start with more points than us in the 6N as you add 3 for home advantage. I think we can beat them there tho.

I appreciate your optimism but its been 17 years since we last won in Paris. It would be huge if we won.

A few tight results

Ally Hogg magical foot in touch,
Forward pass that Barnes refused to look at the screen (was the law at the time)
even more recently a couple of close losses where we have self destructed at the wrong time,

I don't think that is one of our issues currently, where we used to actively throw games away in the last 10 mins we do seem to be moving away from it.

Haven't seen the game yet but sounds like Aus destroyed the Australian scrum (won all ten including three against the head). If we don't have any ball it could be a long match for us and that could happen if Nel isn't fit.

LOL. Since last week?

I also love the idea of self-destruction at the wrong time .

I agree though. It's totally doable. I'd be less surprised at beating France away than managing to not implode v Wales anywhere.

Anyone see the highlights of that aus france game? Looked like a very good game. Kurindranis try was pretty special too.

If Australia get a grand slam that would be some achievement

Interesting that Hugo Southwell was on the panel that decided on Elliot Daly's fate

Not that I'm suggesting anytime improper but an ex wasps player shouldn't be judging on current wasps players cases.
