The stage is set for the quarter-finals of the 2015 World Cup, with the final eight of South Africa, Wales, New Zealand, France, Ireland, Argentina, Australia and Scotland now confirmed.

Already some big names have bitten the dust, notably hosts England, but we're left with four blockbuster encounters.

Here are the latest odds ahead of those matches, as well as an in-depth look at each tie:



South Africa vs. Wales, October 17 This will be the first of two clashes taking place on October 17 as Pool A runners-up Wales take on Pool B winners South Africa in what should be a hugely entertaining contest at Twickenham.

Despite making it out of their respective groups, there were plenty of mixed emotions. The Welsh have to take on the mighty Springboks without a number of key players, who are unavailable through injury.



As reported by Alex Spink of the Mirror, Wales have a number of long-term absentees having lost as many as 10 backs since the tournament began, which could severely impact on how they perform.

As for Heyneke Meyer's men, they also had to contend with the disappointment of losing against Japan on the opening day, but it is something that has fuelled their improvement ever since, as outlined by record-equalling World Cup try-scorer Bryan Habana (via Wales Online): "Following that shock loss to Japan we had to stand up and be counted and install some pride back into the jersey."

Prediction: The pace and clinical try-scoring of Habana will be difficult for an injury-depleted Welsh XV to contain, especially considering the South Africans have scored the second-highest amount of points at this year's World Cup so far with 176.

A win for the Springboks will set them up nicely to emulate their 2007 crown.
