Usa, usa, usa

I think USA will improve on their last game--->USA by 11 (field Goal by Peterson)

 

[jason taylor]

USA, they would have gotten a lot of confidence by beating the Cook Islands.

 

[Jimmyson/Mullins]

This should be a great game and if they played 10 times they could win 5 each...I'm tipping the US by 8 though.

 

[DC_fan]

The match of the weekend in my opinion. Should be pretty close with the Americans getting up

 

[RedVee]

Toss a coin. I'm not impressed by Wales as yet so USA by default. Hope it's a good competitive game whichever way it goes.

 

[babyg]

Should be a goid game

I agree although I'm tipping Wales ;-) The Welsh need to keep a tight rein on Joseph Paulo if they want to win this game.

 

[Bovrick]

Come on Wales. They and Scotland have actually turned up, I fancy Wales by a good few tries.

 

[biggestbroncosfan]

In the Cook Islands game i noticed the Cooks almost had a few chances early on, if Wales can get an early lead then I think they could go on to win it in the first half and the first 10 mins of the second half Wales looked good against Italy, also if they can stop Paulo it will make their job easier but who knows, I'll say Wales by at least 10.. and should get a decent crowd in Wrexham but the Tomahawks put away France in Toulouse so who knows..

 

[miguel de cervantes]

Looking foward to this one. Hopefully Wales.

 

[Storm13]

I think the backline of the Welsh will win this one for them.

 

[Western_Eel]

I dont know if i should got to bed early and get up at 1am then go back to bed after the game or just stay up, so many dramas in my life

I agree and isn't that the great thing, but I am also going for the Welsh today.

I think we all expected the big three to win well over the weekend, now we can get back to some ultra competitive games hopefully.

 

[Springs]

Crowd looking good

 

[The Voice of Reason!]

Who's the guy in the old USRL jersey? An actual American fan??

 

[Storm13]

Still expected the crowd to be bigger and poor line markings.

 

[The Voice of Reason!]

Vossy's only just noticed that some British grounds are shorter? We've already had "short" grounds this tournament.
