Scotty Donaldson looks at the www.testrugby.com team of the quarter finals.
The Rugby World Cup quarter finals are over and there are now only four teams left in the tournament. Here is a Team of the Rugby World Cup 2011 Quarter Finals based on <a href="http://www.testrugby.com">www.testrugby.com</a> statistics. Ireland loose forward Sean O'Brien (pictured above) is the "Player of the Round" with 490 points. All Blacks bad boy Cory Jane was second with 480 points with Wales halfback Mike Phillips third with 430 points. There are only four teams represented in this team, with New Zealand contributing the most and Ireland the only eliminated team to contribute players.
Tips for the semi finals
1) Sell your players from eliminated teams now before they lose value.
2) Johnathon Davies of Wales is the cheapest player in this team costing $785,000.
3) Picking the winning team doesn't matter too much, with all semi finalists playing two games no matter if they win or lose.
4) Quade Cooper's form has dropped substantially.
5) Piri Weepu will be goal kicking for the All Blacks and could be worth a shot.
