Rugby World Cup Competition Number 5
I had a look at the games coming up this week and trying to find games that are not overly obvious and could be closer and who knows may even be an upset. It is not fun guessing whether a side is going to win by 40 or 50 points and these games should be close.Both of these games are to be played this coming Saturday so plenty of time to get your selections in. Each game has 5000 sports Tokens riding on it and every score entered will receive an upvote. Remember it is selecting the winning team and then by how many.

England play Argentina and on paper England should win comfortably. Argentina are very unpredictable and to be brutally honest they are their own worst enemy. With loads of skill and talent, but a lack of belief and discipline maybe is what is holding them back. They are not a clean side so there should be loads of cards and maybe even a red. They try and get under the oppositions skin with dirty tactics and sometimes teams fall for this by retaliating.
I expect Argentina to throw everything at England as this is a do or die game for them Lose this one and your World Cup ends right here. England will want to keep their winning streak intact and secure a place in the Quarter Finals.
The second game on Saturday features the hosts Japan versus Samoa. If anyone can unsettle the Japanese it could be the Samoans. Scotland and Ireland will be hoping Samoa can do something as topping this group could be the difference of going home or possibly a spot in the semi finals. I doubt it anyway but at least you are giving yourself a chance as the winners face New Zealand or South Africa in the quarters.

I think this one will be a lot closer than most people may think but Japan should have more than enough to bring this one home. Japan have some funny looking names in their team and no surprise to see Pieter Labuschagne who is the Captain and Wimpie van der Walt. Two obvious South Africans who have done their three years playing in Japan as I don't expect any Japanese relatives with those names.They qualified by the rulse so good luck to them.
Those are the two games for this competition so all you have to do is guess which team and by how many. No tricks just play as 5000 Sports Tokens per guess is still about 7 or 8 steem for each game.
England by 11, Japan by 18.

I've been curious about how you can represent a country when neither of your parents are a citizen of the country. Seems kinda like cheating....

I am writing about the Japanese team today as it is a little different from all the other countries with a huge negative population growth. I don't think people realise how bad it is in Japan. The situation is only going to get worse over the next 20 years and they are in serious trouble.
England by 21. Japan by 16
England by 30 points. Japan by 12.
You were the closest again and beat everyone else. Winning margin was 29.
It's what I do. Still think England will win outright. Strongest team i've ever seen them have.
