World Cup updates from Exeter, kick-off at 1pm BST
Of the four quarterfinals, this one has the best chance of being a close affair.
New Zealand was always going to have too much for a spirited South Africa. Canada’s extra heft was always going to be too much for the plucky Aussies. England should sure have too much for a brave Scottish outfit.
And even though France will start as favourites, and should have too much for Ireland, we might just have a game on here.
France swept their group with the sensational Pauline Bourdon Sansus running the show at scrum-half (what is it with French scrummies?). But Ireland demonstrated more than pluck (though they did lose 40-0 to New Zealand).
