'England will kick Fiji to death, and it's France by one - Adam Jones

Oct 14, 2023 | rugbypass.com | Adam Jones

I’m going with England to reach the Rugby World Cup semi-finals. You saw in that first pool game against Argentina that they have got a big win in them. They also played Fiji in the summer and while they lost, they will have done their analysis and will have worked out any weakness in their armour. England will kick Fiji to death. Maul, scrum, points, and then their little superstar, Marcus Smith, will come in for a couple of tries from full-back.
Expect Wales to dominate, and All Blacks have a chance - Adam Jones

Test rugby in the northern hemisphere is pretty strong and I’m predicting an all-European line-up for the Rugby World Cup semi-finals. That’s a shift compared to what has happened before, but you wouldn’t be overly surprised either to see all four quarter-finals go the other way and we end up with an all-southern hemisphere last-four. That said, I’m going for Wales by 10 points on Saturday against Argentina.
