    Please please please please
    Make it an England Argentina final
    Even the sports reporters are bigging up a nz south Africa final

    Even better obviously would be the All black's losing the final to engerland

    No mate
    I think they will run SA very very close. England are a complete unknown at the moment.

    Borthwick isn’t an unknown though. It’ll be a percentage play, unless some powerful voices elsewhere in the set up persuade him otherwise.

    However the Boks have added a bit of speed and flair to their strength.

    I believe England are the only side left in the tournament that hasn’t played a team ranked higher than themselves …. but what the hell, you can only play and beat the team in front of you <cheers>

    Right, quick walk of the dog then settle down for a likely rough evening for the Argies….

    …..reckon England’s best hope is for some red cards, but with our appalling discipline it’s likely us that’s getting them….


    Gatland seems exercised by alleged Boks manipulation of the head injury checks, giving players a rest in the second half without subbing them……anything in it?

    Wouldn't be surprised by anything these days.... this is the same management team using a traffic light system to send messages to the players as to what they should do at penalties....
