Thanjk you.

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.
