Both too close to call, both simarly ranked teams, only one team has never made it to a semi final from the bunch though...

Can an ascendant Wales squeek past a well firing Argentina who have perhaps failed to spark this tournament

Can a 17 match unbeaten run Ireland get the monkey off their backs and make it through versus a 3 time world cup winning union?

Don't miss either!

Ireland will be fine. But the other nations will keep improving too, and so this may well have been the best attempt they could have had

England will rise again too. Too many good players to languish for too long. Can Wales and Scotland be able to compete again? Will Italy win more than 1 match in the next 5?

Well it was theirs to lose, and that's what they did. It's happened to our All Blacks more times than not, and we keep coming back just fine.

Yes, Italy. And Australia! Hope they can get their shit back together.
