Boks and All Blacks must start as strong favourites. England could surprise, but I can't see any possibility of Argentina beating the All-Blacks.
Like I said before the Irish quarter-final homecoming party, this All-Black team is better than what was faced earlier in the year. With Retalick, Frizzel, and the prop back - they are a different proposition. They are able to get quality front football for their backs to score points.
The Boks must be confident of beating the English, but they need to make sure their forwards do better than against the French. Boks survived against France with a tiny amount of possession and individual brilliance on attack- and a defence that has more commitment than any team in the world.
