Festival of Footy is upon us!
With AFL and NRL elimination games tonight and the Rugby Union World Cup kicking off late night/early morning, there will be no shortage of footy options over the next few days.
First up. I'll have a look at tonight's NRL and AFL matches
NRL Elimination Final - 1
Sydney Roosters vs Cantebury - Bankstown Bulldogs
The Roosters go in reeling after last weeks loss to Melbourne and will have it all in front of them tonight if want their hard work in finishing as Minor Premiers to mean something.
The Bulldogs come in off a scintillating battle with St. George last week.
All up expect a knock down drag out battle with the Roosters pulling away late.
Prediction: Roosters 26-22
AFL Elimination Final - 1
Hawthorn Hawks vs Adelaide Crows
The back to back kings of the AFL face elimination tonight against Adelaide. The Hawks have shown a few dents in the armour this season while Adelaide is playing on as a sentimental favourite after a tumultuous season.
Ding-Dong....the champs are done.
Prediction: Crows by 20
Rugby World Cup
The 2015 Rugby World Cup will kick off in England overnight with England facing off agaist Fiji.
Some of the usual suspects are weaker than normal but in the end do not expect too many surprises to emerge from the pack.
Here are my picks for pool winners and the title.
Pool A
Tough and most likely an unpopular call in Australia but going with England to get through this pool on their home turf.
Pool B
South Africa should advance through this pool.
Pool C
Simply said, the All Blacks are in this pool. New Zealnd wins and advances.
Pool D
Might be close between France and Ireland but giving France the slight edge
2015 World Cup Championshions
Not a surprise here...the New Zealand All Blacks
Enjoy the games, back with more tomorrow.
