[QUOTE="monkeypigeon, post: 444155, member: 13700"] Bonus points shouldn't come into effect. Australia should win all their matches and Ireland and Italy win 3 and 2 games each (or maybe the other way round). And after that, BPs are unlikely to come into it. Something rare from Munsterfans, a decent quote: - From 'Bushi' "[B][B] [LIST] [*][INDENT=5][COLOR=#333333][INDENT]The problem seems to be a leadership one.
