No oracle, just a few words, from Delphi

7 buses have taken over 300 people from Hotel Stanley, through the bustling Athens traffic, along cobbled streets in little villages high in the hills, past snow laden mountains, all the way to the world's navel, Delphi!

The octo-final resolution is:
This house would require people to work in return for welfare payments.

The teams, prop first, opp second are:

Philippines v England
Australia v Netherlands
New Zealand v Wales
South Africa v Scotland
Peru v Greece
Canada v Ireland
Slovenia v Singapore
Korea Republic v Pakistan

Good motion. From the results, looks fairly balanced as well.

Claire, thanks as always for the great updates for those of us unlucky enough not to be there. Any word on the judges' break?
