All Australian eyes will be on Saturday night’s quarter-final between the Wallabies and England, but there are three other enthralling Tests set to get played out this weekend too.
With hosts Japan hoping to repeat their 2015 miracle over South Africa, Ireland looking to extend their impressive run of form against the All Blacks and Wales set to lock horns with France, all four of this Rugby World Cup’s quarter-finals will be worth watching.
With that in mind, we got Roar rugby expert Brett McKay on the Game of Codes podcast to go through all of this weekend’s knockout stage matches, make a call on where each one will be won and lost and, ultimately, make a call on who wins.
Listen to all the discussion in the player above.
After diving into each of the other quarter-finals we, of course, had to spend a full segment analysing Australia’s quarter-final with England. Can the Aussies get revenge on Eddie Jones and the English? Or will it be a seventh-straight defeat to the old enemy at Oita Stadium?
