Well now that my team is out :cry:

I think it will be a France vs SA final and well my heart says SA but it could be a pretty tough game. Unfortunately when France are good on the day they are difficult to beat.

Go the Bokke!!!!!

Lol I meant that it was a setup that the All Blacks couldn't wear the black jersey and the ref made a bad call missing the foward pass that meant the French scored the try that won them the game.

The ref in the NZ vs France game needs to be shot. Yellow carding a player for standing there while a guy ran into him and then allowing a forward pass to result in a try well I think it is bullshit.

Lets hope that ref is not umpiring any more games in the cup or you guys with teams still in it are gonna be upset.

That will do nicely...

We shut down Chabal, which was a big deal... Johnny looked like his kicking wasn't hitting the mark to begin with but in the end he didn't disappoint.

Absolute classic!

Swiiing looooowwwww....

C'MON SOUTH AFRIKA!!!!!11!!!1!!!

We can't have the english scum winning it again. I'm mortified that I've had to support France twice this year! Now I've got to support the f*%king Boers too. (wonders never cease)

GO BOKKS!

THIS CANT BE HAPPENING!

England is so frustrating, They didnt even deserve to be in the top 8.

Im still so gutted about the All Blacks loss, but it has been a great matches and the greatest world cup, but now, thanks to England, the finals barely going to be worth watching.

They play the most horrible rugby in the world, theres no way the final can be entertaining now, thanks for ruining the world cup.

I hope to god England loose, it would be great if its done by the pumas.

What is the point of playing nice and pretty rugby if you dont win ANYTHING. You are just pissed off that the unbeatable All Blacks bottled it(again).

In a knock out competition you play the style of rugby that is most likely to KNOCK the opposition out, simple as that. If you dont like it you dont have to watch.

I dont care who we meet in the final, but we deserve to be there just as much as anyone else. I am sorry if England has ruined your world cup, but tough.

And you lot call us whinging poms. Ha

The Worst World Champions Ever are in the final again. Nuff said

yeah there's no use whining, our teams really should have been able to win if our scrum had held up, england won the game in the part that mattered most, that's why they won. we'll win next time though,

I'm loving this thread so far.

We'll be seeing S.A. do some serious trampling soon. :wink:

Wilkinson didn actually play well. THe last drop goal was good, but the penalty was easy enough. He missed 2 chances early on, and hit the post with a drop goal. Our best player was easily Robinson. Didn drop a ball and broke through their defence at least twice and never gave up.

I agree with Guis, we really held Chabel back well.

Well said mate !
We all know that this is not a great England team but they have won through by hard work and grit not luck, for this alone they should be applauded and the whiners should really be looking to the failure of their own sides rather than spouting sour grapes .

I didn't realise the guys went out there to play entertaining Rugby... I thought it was about who scored the most fucking points on the day! Either way, we've finally discovered the grit and determination that's been lacking for years. It's very entertaining for us, mark my words!

Im not pissed off as such, Im still deeply gutted but I think I have accepted we have lost.

I guess now that the All Blacks are out, All I want to be able to do is watch rugby thats worth watching. I find it hard to come back against the defence of your style of play and it is about who scores the most points at the end of the 80 mins. but if you step back even further, Its a spectator sport, and if its not entertaining, then its not a good game IMO.

But saying that, I will watch the Final in hopes that SA will walk all over England again and make the game a good one.

It is a pretty good match up though next week, both replays of pool matches that had interesting results

You choked, again... while england pull off the greatest turnaround in RWC history. (The All Blacks choking is a RWC tradition). if you didn't get a kick watching england's scrum take australia apart, or their sheer bloody-mindedness and gutsy defence against france, you either haven't got a clue or you've got a massive chip on your shoulder.
Face it: The final is ruined in your eyes because your boys aren't in it. Keep playing 'beautiful rugby' and keep getting knocked out in the semis. No one is worried by the tri-nations anymore. Total rugby? Nice idea, bollocks in practice. Didn't do you or the wallabies any good, did it?

See you in 2011.

QFT.

What a matchup. We're gonna go out there with double the passion: We want to keep hold of our trophy AND we want to show South Africa just how much we've turned things around since the group stage. I'd have put money on SA getting to the final, but I'm astounded at our performance. Can't wait. Will be an epic match for sure.

Who's going to win it?
