Re: Rugby World Cup Final
Barring some inspired England renaissance on Saturday which is possible, as they have been rising to the occasion in their less onerous pool draw en route to the semis, I predict a Springbok All Blacks final. From there all my bets are off.

No changes, only the second time in 60 odd games.
When all else fails, read the instructions.

Re: Rugby World Cup Final
What shall we do with a problem like George Ford? I see that despite his stand out performances he is starting on the bench;

Able to watch live on Stuff! still buffering a bit but not as bad as the other day.
With sound off and listening to the Forever Sports commentary. It works.

Re: Rugby World Cup Final
Seemed quite unevenly matched for a semi-final. Disappointing for Argentina.

Re: Rugby World Cup Final
My money on Springboks v All Blacks in final. Should be a great game.

Re: Rugby World Cup Final
Settling in with a cup of coffee ready, links open to follow commentary - no live video of the game to view today, just the commentator, but he's most entertaining and gives a great commentary.
Fingers crossed!

Re: Rugby World Cup Final
Delayed coverage shown here on Sky Open starts at 0930 so kick off probably not until 1000, after obligatory blether, when we'll be out of the house with the grandsons.
Daily Telegraph 'live' coverage meanwhile shows that England are in the lead - amazing after South Africa's last game and England's performances so far.
Moaning about 'mismatched' ABs v Pumas seems to forget that they've beaten ABs on several occasions in the past, but this time came up against a team at the top of their form.
I might regret my predication about the final at this rate!
