More than one Contepomi in the Argentine squad I'm afraid. You need to specify which one.

Oh, & all you Mitchell-backers might want a rethink too. From the Beeb:

Australia: Chris Latham; Adam Ashley-Cooper, Stirling Mortlock, Matt Giteau, Lote Tuqiri; Berrick Barnes, George Gregan; Wycliff Palu, George Smith, Rocky Elsom, Dan Vickerman, Nathan Sharpe, Guy Shepherdson, Stephen Moore, Matt Dunning.
Replacements: Adam Freier, Al Baxter, Hugh McMeniman, Stphen Hoiles, Phil Waugh, Julian Huxley, Drew Mitchell.

I recommend waiting until the teams are actually named, chaps. :p NZ's team courtesy of the BBC:

New Zealand: MacDonald, Rokocoko, Muliaina, McAlister, Sivivatu, Carter, Kelleher; Woodcock, Oliver, Hayman, Robinson, Williams, Collins, McCaw (capt), So'oialo.
Replacements: Mealamu, Tialata, Jack, Masoe , Leonard, Evans, Toeava.

I'd suggest the same thing for those who are selecting Drew Mitchell, he's unlikely to be in the starting XV.

EDIT: Doh, probably should have read a bit further down :p

As I pointed out with Jamee's prediction there are two Contepomis (twin brothers, as it goes) in the Argentine squad. You have to specify which one.

Quarter Final update, part 1:

Australia 10 England 12
First try: Tuqiri
Tries: 1

Vimes: 8 (Tuqiri - 5, 2 tries - 3)
Brumby: 6 (England by 5 - 5, 3 tries - 1)
Jamee: 6 (England by 1 - 5, 3 tries - 1)
Stefano: 5 (Tuqiri - 5)
Pup Clarke: 1 (3 tries - 1)
Matteh: 1 (3 tries - 1)
altoz: 1 (3 tries - 1)

New Zealand 18 France 20
First Try: McAlister
Tries: 4

Clapo: 10 (France by 6 - 5, 4 tries - 5)
Perm: 5 (4 tries - 5)
Somerset: 5 (4 tries - 5)
Jason: 3 (5 tries - 3)
PhoenixFire: 3 (5 tries - 3)
Vimes: 3 (5 tries - 3)
headhunter: 3 (5 tries - 3)
Matteh: 1 (6 tries - 1)
ohtani: 1 (6 tries - 1)
Stefano: 1 (6 tries - 1)
The Bunny: 1 (6 tries - 1)
altoz: 1 (6 tries - 1)

No score unless otherwise stated. Two upsets mean low-scoring affairs tip-wise, but the big winners are Vimesy with 11 points for the day & Clapo whose inspired pick of the French to win nets him 10 from the second QF after drawing a blank in the first.

1) The Bunny 123
2) Somerset 110
3) Brumby 104
4) Matteh 103
5) Perm 98
6) ohtani 97
=7) Pup Clarke 96
=7) PhoenixFire 96
9) Stefano 95
10) Clapo 88
11) Jason 80
12) Jamee 79
13) altoz 70
14) Vimes 68
15) headhunter 54

Quater-finals update, part 2:

South Africa 37 Fiji 20
First try: Fourie
Tries: 7

Brumby: 9 (SA by 30 - 3, Pietersen - 1, 7 tries - 5)
Jason: 8 (SA by 12 - 5, 6 tries - 3)
ohtani: 8 (SA by 30 - 3, 7 tries - 5)
Stefano: 8 (SA by 25 - 3, 7 tries - 5)
The Bunny: 8 (SA by 25 - 3, 7 tries - 5)
Vimes: 7 (SA by 30 - 3, James - 1, 6 tries - 3)
Pup Clarke: 6 (SA by 16 - 5, 5 tries - 1)
Matteh: 6 (SA by 16, 5 tries - 1)
Perm: 6 (SA by 25 - 3, 6 tries - 3)
PhoenixFire: 6 (SA by 30 - 3, 6 tries - 3)
Clapo: 6 (SA by 35 - 1, 7 tries - 5)
Jamee: 6 (SA by 15 - 5, 5 tries - 1)
headhunter: 5 (SA by 15 - 5)
Somerset: 3 (SA by 25 - 3)
altoz: 2 (SA by 45 - 1, 9 tries - 1)

A win for the favourites means better points for our tipsters. The Bunny again pulls away & a 9 point haul for your truly draws me level with Somers in second. Another impressive tally for Norway moves Sam above altoz.

1) The Bunny 131
=2) Brumby 113
=2) Somerset 113
4) Matteh 109
5) ohtani 105

Quarter-finals update, part 3:

Argentina 19 Scotland 13
First try: Longo
Tries: 2

Matteh: 15 (Argentina by 6 - 10, 2 tries - 5)
Somerset: 10 (Argentina by 10 - 5, 2 tries - 5)
Brumby: 8 (Argentina by 11 - 5, 3 tries - 3)
Perm: 8 (Argentina by 10 - 5, 3 tries - 3)
PhoenixFire: 8 (Argentina by 15 - 3, 2 tries - 5)
Vimes: 8 (Argentina by 12 - 5, 3 tries - 3)
Pup Clarke: 6 ( Argentina by 10 - 5, 4 tries - 1)
ohtani: 6 ( Argentina by 14 - 3, 3 tries - 3)
Jason: 5 ( Argentina by 13 - 5)
The Bunny: 5 ( Argentina by 7 - 5)
Jamee: 5 (2 tries - 5)
headhunter: 4 (Argentina by 21 - 1, 3 tries - 3)
Stefano: 2 (Argentina by 25 - 1, 4 tries - 1)
Clapo: 1 (Argentina by 24 - 1)
altoz: 1 ( Argentina by 35 - 1)

Super scoring form Matteh as he nails both outcome & tries scored to net himself 15 & move up to 2nd. Somerset bags 10, which narrows the gap on The Bunny, who only manages 5, but is not enough to stop him falling to third. I slide to fourth despite a not-that-bad-really tally of 8.

1) The Bunny 136
2) Matteh 124
3) Somerset 123
4) Brumby 121
5) Perm 112
6) ohtani 111
7) PhoenixFire 110
8) Pup Clarke 108
9) Stefano 105
10) Clapo 95
11) Jason 93
12) Jamee 90
13) Vimes 83
14) altoz 73
15) headhunter 63
