To our Kiwi posters . . .

Just a small little request from me.

I know the All Blacks are the #1 team in the world, I know you smashed the French last weekend and I know you're the hot bookies favourites to beat the Springboks on Saturday . . . but in the unlikely event that the Springboks do win the game (take a blood pressure pill right now if required) . . . please try to come up with a better excuse than that "Suzie poisoned us" nonsense you used 20 years ago.

Thanks in anticipation.

Jokes aside, good luck to both teams and let's hope there's no controversy, refereeing or otherwise.

Come on Bokke!

 No excuses from me Rooinek. Just hope it doesn't come down to a penalty in the 79th minute either way!

Yeah, it is easier to get a hiding than to lose in the dying moments of a game.

 Ditto Moolaa's comments.
However, there are already rumors that Suzzie's grandson (Beeno) is cooking up a scheme to ensure the fields are soggy on game day

I say the All Blacks have an 80% chance of winning.
Although it maybe tighter given the intensity of in this match at the business end of the tournament. 
We need a good start. Need to put them away in the first 60 minutes if we are going to win

 Sharkbok IMO the Boks can only win if they keep the game close and get a penalty, drop goal, rolling maul or some sort of surprise play like Habana interception at the end. Rain could be a factor.

As is usual there will be surprises in this game.
 My two predictions are the AB forwards will really show up and be keen to put away their Bok opponents. Look for a sequence of neutral scrums followed by a big AB ambush in a crucial scrum...hope HM is prepping the Boks.
Secondly the Boks will use the backs in some set moves, which could be key in the result.

It remains on a knife edge, but the Boks have been through the Japanese curing furnace. Look for a famous Bok win.

 This is gonna be close. Luck is most likely going to swing this one. Hope the officials don't spoil it. No disrespect to any of the other teams, regardless of how good they are, but this should have been the final. You beat the old foe in the final battle, not on your way there. If the two teams live up to the expectation,  the actual final will be a anteclimax.

 I dont recall too many of us saying anything about suzy or wot-not .Generally the opposite as in ' we lost ,its history, meh " Anyways good luck to your boys ,and ours of course .Hopefully the ABs will take luck and dodgy doin's out of the equation .

 
Time for the All Blacks to step up and take the Goats to the cleaners.

Looks as though the match will be played in the wet.

All Blacks by 10.

I'll also be cheering for the Pumas, especially after that shocking display by Joubert.

Scotland were robbed and should by rights be challenging for the finals.

Argentina to take the trophy.


 

 

 Argentina won't win the wc lol, prob played their final againgst Ireland, although I expect them to beat Aussie. NZ well easily beat SA, and beat Aussie in the final or Arg.
