[QUOTE="Welshdragon2000, post: 910176, member: 74797"] So as previously stated the games for this weekend are: Samoa vs Germany (World Cup play-off) Cook Islands vs Hong Kong (repechage qualifier) Kenya vs Zimbabwe Morocco vs Namibia I really hope Germany can pull off the shock result but I see it as highly unlikely. The Samoan PM was making very arrogant statements which will hopefully fire up the Germans to pull off a big performance. It seems Samoa think they have won this game before it has even started which could hurt them. I predict Samoa by 20. The Cook Islands seems to have a decent pack with a few French based players named in their team. There are only 6 players remaining from the game against Tahiti a year ago. I originally thought HK by 50 but I will tone that down to HK by 25. Kenya-Zimbabwe is very difficult to predict. I look forward to watching this one and I am predicting Zimbabwe to win by 3 but that could easily swing the other way if Kenya turn up. Morocco-Namibia should have Namibia as winners but this game will give us an indication of how strong Namibia's challengers are. On the topic of African rugby, I read a very interesting article stating that Algeria may well be a force in Africa for the 2023 WC. Apparently there are lots of players in France of Algerian descent and Algeria could therefore field a strong team IF they are able to persuade these players to choose to play for them.
