Considering the whipping the South Africans gave them, I'd take a guesstimate & say at least 26 / 13 in OZ's favour.... But then, I'm no Rugby expert!

I might be able to see them... Whoo hoo!

Weren't France and Agentina heavy underdogs in last weekends matches? I thought France had a better chance at knocking off NZ but I didn't think SCO would lose to Argentina.

Argentina have been playing some really good stuff in the RWC : Scotland gave them a great game last weekend.
Argentina have been the form side - they beat France (and Ireland) in their group matches :

NZ were fancied to beat France - but France were dogged and fought and fought.
NZ couldn't get by them : France were superb.

France England will be a classic hopefully.
England have started to play : i think it will be a South Africa England final.

World Cup Final takes place tomorrow evening in Saint Denis.

ENGLAND V SOUTH AFRICA.

Hard one to call........very difficult in fact.
I have a sneaking suspicion that England could, could, win it.
Rivetting stuff nonetheless.
