Every game was almost impossible to watch if you had a horse in the race….decided in the closing minute of each game. That breakout from France in the last minute was heart attack material

I have been impressed with the whole World Cup so far. Having the best teams play each other early is a novelty- in the opening rounds and quarters.
Not so great for Ireland and France going out in the quarters, but excellent for the Boks and All Blacks.
It has not been a lopsided tournament like in 2007 with a lucky draw
Yes, we have had some great games including those involving the "minnows".
Easily the best WC I've watched.
And this was probably the best weekend of international rugby I can remember.
Safe to say Boks vs ABs in the final?
Commiserations to Ireland and France, so close and yet so far, it would be a gut wrenching experience one all too familiar to Bok fans from past experience. Anyone of the four teams would be worthy RWC champions in my not so humble opinion.

I put R50 on the S pring boks winning combined with the followng three tennis players playming in Tokyo in the Japan Open_
* Tommy Pual
* Taylor Fritz
* Karen Khachanov
Odds being at 6/1 - so I am happy at the outcome.
I was not really impressed by players like De Allende, Du Toit and Kriel - long condemned as useless by most of the site members, They were a drain on the team as preducted - but I had two of them in my fantasy team on Superbru anyway. . . .
I just realized the Poms are the only undefeated team left at this RWC...what's the odds of that happening?

Hopefully those people bemoaning the "boring" RWC or saying silly things like "RIP Rugby Union" are feeling suitably foolish around about now.
Four absorbing, tense and exciting games of rugby.
