The Fiji Airways Flying Fijians still have a mathematical chance to qualify for the Rugby World Cup quarter-final despite a hopeless performance against Uruguay yesterday.

This will be based on other results going our way.

Fiji has to thrash Georgia by 50 or more points and we have to beat Wales.

For Fiji to qualify, Australia has to beat Wales by 21 points or more and Wales win margins has to be less than 10 points.

If this happens then Fiji is likely to face England in the Rugby World Cup quarter-final.

England is likely to top their pool and will meet either Wales, Australia or Fiji in the quarters - depending on how results go in the remaining rounds.

Defending champions, New Zealand will either meet Japan, Scotland or Samoa in the second quarter-final.

Australia or Wales will take on France or Argentina in the third quarter-final.

Ireland is likely to meet South Africa in the last quarter-final.

The first two quarter-finals will be held on Saturday 19th October while the 3rd and 4th quarters will be held on Sunday 20th October.

Barring any upsets, the All Blacks will meet England in the first semi-final on Saturday 26th October. 

Australia or Wales will meet South Africa in the second semi-final on Diwali night on Sunday 27th October.

The World Cup Final will kick off at 9pm Saturday, November 2nd.

Many people are predicting the All Blacks to meet the Springboks in the final.

However, England, Australia, Wales, France, Ireland, and Argentina could spring a few surprises that may result in a change in scenario on the road to the final.
