Cheers mate, u have posted earlier "I think the Uzbekistanis will just have too much experience and grunt up front, to win by 14 points" but the Jordanians were better than ur expectations ;)
ReplyDeleteYes I got that one completely wrong. I'm still surprised at that result. It shows the strength there is in Arabian Gulf area rugby.
ReplyDeleteI get a number of predictions wrong actually. Check out my predictions and the results. Ouch!!
I am amazed at Iran's rugby rise. They've defeated Pakistan 4 times now. I think they'll do well in Division 2. I'd love to know where their strength is. How many overseas-based players etc.
