Like most of the games in this World Cup - I don't care!
So same as the Gaelic football this year, then  :o
At least there's hurling  :)

Who are we hoping for? For myself, I'd like to see Rassie and Felix win it, but I am surprised by how ambivalent I am towards England. in rugby I normally don't like to see England even win the toss, but I have to say this team is great to watch.

I'll predict England by 13.
I'm the same. I find it hard to do anything but admire what they did to NZ in that first 20 mins. Respect for the players but the fans always help me to root for the other team! RSA were my pick before the tournament but think they'll be the losers.

It should be England by a good bit but you never know what might happen in a final.

If you look at the original camera angle it was flat.

England's heavies getting beat up the real heavy Mob. Obvious now England played exceptional against New Zealand who themselves were very poor on the day.

Game played totally on South Africa's terms while England made way too many stupid errors. Great to see Erasmus win seems like a good character and sure it's always great to see England beat!!

The shortlist for Rugby Player of the Year was released.
Alun Wyn Jones (Wales)
Pieter-Steph du Toit (South Africa),
Tom Curry (England),
Cheslin Kolbe (South Africa),
Ardie Savea (New Zealand) and
Joe Taufete'e (USA).

Surprised none of Itoje, Farrell, or Liam Williams made the list.
AWJ and Taufete'e could be replaced by any of the three I've listed.

IF South Africa win tomorrow morning, the omission of Pollard and De Klerk will be glaring.

Looks criminal right now.

Amazing, few gave them any chance at the start of the tournament.

Well done the Springboks.

Good enough for them, matt Dawson said yesterday that if you were picking a combined 15 you'd have 15 England players. What do you think now matt
