The first one was the Afrikaans one - Toks & Tjops. Bakkies Botha and his Manager was present and Paulse was the host. One if the interesting remarks came from Paulse when eh jokingly asked Bakkies about the leg injury to Matfield's leg. He said - aalos jokingly that the legs were always thin - but is getting old now and could be even thinner than they used to be.
However, another remark Bakkies made in more seriousness was that -
* Matfield is working very hard to prove that he is still the ebst flyhalf to be selected;
* he himself does not believe that any player should play in 4 WC tournaments; and
* that the youngsters coming through is good enough to represent the country and is putting a lot of pressure on the older players.
Bakkies seems to be very relieved that he is out of international rugby and watching it from the sidelines.
The second one was "Real English Breakfast" hosted by Joel Stransky in London. I did not get the names of the other two members of the panel - one was Irish and the other English. They seems to think that the English team would win tonight by putting their bodies on the line - since they know a loss would mean they are out of the WC play-offs. Joel did not fully agree. The panellists also seems to hope that Scotland beat SA this afternoon - but they do seem more hesitant about that one.
The English seems to think that if England can get the upper hand up front they would win - but is that going to happen?
