The only nation not to reach the last eight from my predicted route is Argentina. This is particularly frustrating as they should have won their 23-21 defeat to France 10 times over, missing eight points with the boot and scoring just two tries from eight visits to the 'red zone', but that is sport.
The only other difference is Japan climbing to Pool B's summit, rather than my predicted runner-up spot. But when everyone else seemed to have predicted an Ireland/Scotland one-two, I'm remaining relatively smug, especially as it delivered my recommend bet of Scotland being knocked out in the group stage at 9/2.
And Japan's impressive form and France's luck have actually made these quarter-finals that much more interesting and harder to call.
