Rugby Union World Cup 2019

I thought that was a legit try just before half time. South Africa have taken the initiative anyway with their lower game.

It was very marginal if held at all. This half is one way traffic.
A SA-England match might be unwatchable!

England are playing the All Blacks. Also, I saw little attractive rugby from Wales today. Possibly the least of all the Quarter Finalists but it was all about winning

South Africa have just scored an excellent try

Um, yes, I know that. That will be two contrasting styles. No idea who will win.
It doesn't alter that a SA-England match will be huge teams smacking into each other a lot.

Wales were poor today, I've said that before. How much the week off France and others helped is obviously a potential point there.

I am hoping Wales edge South Africa but the Soringboks have been very good in this second half

Indeed, this half has shown the real position of Japan in the pecking order. A big green steamroller is in play.

SA though beat and drew with NZ earlier in the year - some had them as favourites or only just behind the All Blacks.

New Zealand going to piss it.

I think England certainly would prefer Wales too.
I want Wales to win it, and probably want England. I don't think they'll beat any of the three other sides left in though.

it’s not a case of perfecting an easier side. I’d rather see the Home Nations in the final. There’s shouldn’t be much difference between South Africa and Wales anyway
