Friday:
Tonight we will see the Irish take on the Italians. This should be a rather interesting match to see exactly how far Italy and Ireland have come with regards to their world cup preparations. Ireland has a near full strength side for this warm up. Irish Capitan O’Driscoll however will be sitting this one out. The main battle will take place up front where the Italian forwards will try dominate. However i think that Ireland’s forward and back will contain the Italians and they will enjoy a win.

Saturday:
South Africa will be wanting to make up for their absolute shocker of a game earlier this week. A different team will take the field this weekend and lets hope the boks attitudes will be different. The mighty forwards for South Africa will in my opinion dominate and starve the Scots of the ball.

Sunday:
The French team will travel to Wales this weekend to play against the welsh dragons at Cardiff. Wales who have not had such great warm up matches so far will be hoping to turn that trend around. The host nation France managed to keep the English tryless in their last encounter. France is looking strong and ready to take on what ever the world can throw at them.

Francois Steyn will be playing in the number 12 jersey this weekend
