    Argentina's challenge has fizzled out since their great start in the second half

    S.A are just playing down the clock now

      One game too many for Argentina. Hats off to them though. They have done what very few expected of them.

        Sad departure to Argentin's World Cup they havent done themselves justice after a wonderful tourney.

        It was just a game to far for them

                No matter who wins the final, the best thing of the world cup is the emergence of minnows such as Fiji and Argentina.
                No one gave either a prayer of getting to where they have - hats off to them.

                The Argi's try was not a try - no idea how the 4th official got that wrong, but the ball was clearly out of his grasp....in any event no-one could begrudge them the try.

                Next week should be a cracker. A few weeks ago no one would bet against the boks, but they are not playing to their potential and England are playing above themselves.

                I think Jake White is also having a laugh at the expense of the ozzies coz SA and him got slated for sending b/c team to Ozz and NZ for the last games of the tri-nations....he who laughs last, laughs longest as they say

                  Was a poor game littered with mistakes. That said I think England will struggle to hold the Boks. They have a very good all round game. We will have to win our line out and be extremely disciplined to stand a chance. Love to see England win but the smart money is still on the Boks. Maybe nerves will play a part. They are favourites, they are expected to win and they are playing a bunch of old men. Have they got the bottle?

                      South Africa dealt very well with Argentina. They had their homework done. They made **** of their lineout, rolling maul and more than catered for the Argies kicking game. That and a lot of unforced errors meant Argentina were never really got control.

                      South Africa will be tough to beat but I think England's belief is enormous since the 36-0 drubbing.

                      In fact I'll stick my neck out here and say England will win by 2 points.
                      You can agree with me, or you can be wrong.
