Though the expected teams went through to the Rugby World Cup semis, the quarter-finals weren’t short of drama. But how much could you’ve won?

Wallabies walloped – England vs Australia
After missing out on their Pool C-closing clash with France, England faced their first proper test as they took on Australia in Oita. The Wallabies never really troubled Eddie Jones’ side, taking until the 2nd half to score their 1st try.

England, meanwhile, were firmly in control early on, thanks to Jonny May’s pair of tries within 21 minutes. Add a flawless kicking performance from Owen Farrell, who scored 4/4 penalties and 4/4 conversions, and further tries from Kyle Sinckler and Anthony Watson, and England won 40-16.

That means, if you’d bought at an England/Australia Point Supremacy spread of 10-13, you could have won 11 times your initial stake.

All Blacks steamroller continues – New Zealand vs Ireland
Memories of their victory in Dublin almost one year ago weren’t enough to help Ireland overcome the All Blacks, missing out on a first-ever semi-final once again as they suffered a crushing 46-14 defeat.

New Zealand were ruthless, scoring 7 tries en route to the next round. Add onto that Ireland’s 2, and if you’d bought a Total Tries spread of 4.5-4.9, you could have nabbed 4.1 times your opening bet.

The relentlessness of the defending champions also saw the Total Try Minutes make-up 473 against an original spread of 200-217. That’s 256 times your initial stake.

Last-gasp win for Wales – Wales vs France
In the most thrilling of the quarter-finals, Wales secured their places in the semis in the final moments of the game, reversing a lead France had held for most of the fixture to win 20-19.

The turning point appeared to be Sebastien Vahaamahina’s red card early in the 2nd half, a moment that then allowed the Welsh to score 10 unanswered points. It also meant the Bookings make-up hit 35; take away the opening spread of 11-14, and that’s 21 times your original bet.

Springboks see off their hosts (eventually) – Japan vs South Africa
South Africa ended Japan’s hopes of a semi-final sport, and got revenge for their loss in 2015 – eventually. Things were incredibly close at half time, the Springboks leading 5-3 – compared to a 1st Half Total Points spread of 23.7-25.2, and you could have won 15.7 times your bet if you had sold at that price.

Makazole Mapimpi was the difference maker, scoring the first and last tries in the 4th and 70th minutes respectively. Against an opening SMM spread of 59-64, a make-up of 144 would have won you 80 times your original stake.
