So, whoever out of Portugal and Romania finishes third is likely to also qualify for the World Cup.

It'd be great for Russia to get through. There's a lot of big men over there - if they ever get their act together, they wont be short in the 2nd row, thats for sure. Of course Twickenham beckons for us now. After this weekend its a hard one to call:-) Andy,
