The test period is coming to an end and the last week will deliver its game of choice.
EN vs SA appears at first glance at the easy choice. The world number one against Europe number one, a repeat of the last WC final smelling like a revenge, defeating the WC etc
On the paper , the game has all the attributes to fit the bill.
Except it features SA rugby which promises a dull, luster lacking game, bending heavily toward huge referee involvement, the negation of the rugby game.
A game by the way that relfects the past.
Another game sets itself as the game of the week, the game with the high expectations.
FR vs NZ. This game is a reflection of the future. The French will host the next WC, will face NZ as the opener and would like to back up a claim to the world title by beating NZ.
NZ on the other hand remains the ambassador of the game and two losses in a row is always an event.
Both teams have the talent and mentality to deliver an exciting, heart racing game.
