    Kiwis haven't set the world on fire with their wins so far; the only game they won by as much as they should have was the Tonga game. Having said that, I'm tipping them to beat France by 16 points.

    Anyway "Magnolian Kahn" won according to Greg Miles. A dyslexic race caller who'd a thunk. - lucky he doesn't call the Queensland Reds

    Wests Scarborough 1st Grade juggernaut has played finals rugby each and every year since its inception and continues this remarkable feat yet again this season and unbelievably it's still rolling on and as an added little circle jerk for the masses Wests actually hold the record for the current longest unbroken finals record.

    Well I must say, congratulations to new Zealand for finally doing what's expected of them in a world cup. Hopefully it doesn't continue, because I stand by my other assertion, if they make the final, they will win it.

    OK - so the entree of grenouille did not touch the sides!

    Roast Bok next?

    And looking forward, I can't see them going for a vegetarian course (so shamrocks and thistle are out) - will it be puma or roo??

    Who knew kiwis were carnivores??

    The biggest margin of victory in a quarter-final until now was 28 (South Africa 42 - Western Samoa 14) in 1995.

    The biggest margin in the knock-out stages of a world cup was 43 (New Zealand 49 - Wales 6) in the 1987 semi-final.

    I know the French haven't been that impressive, and basically qualified by beating a lack-lustre Italy, but winning by 49 in the knock-out stages is quite a feat.

    Glad to see the AB's moving off simmering towards being on the boil. There are some very good teams left that certainly could win this comp. Absolutely no foregone conclusion. This is turning into a very competitive RWC with many excellent games. May the best team win.

    The All Black's form this tournament has been like playing with a toddler - "Where's the All Blacks? Where's the All Blacks? THERE'S THE ALL BLACKS!"

    That score was literally on par with the biggest scores put on any of the minnow nations in this tournament... which is good for the minnow nations I guess, not so good for the rest of us!

    That said, if France sucked any harder in that game they would have been the Kinabalu giant red leech which can swallow animals its entire body size in one gulp...

    interesting to note that the first scrum didn't take place until about the 30th minute-by which time the French were knackered
