Nope I suspect South Africa win by a 40 point margin hey ho

I dont think we win win by that much, we have been awfully cocky and I think thats going to hit us, I hope Brian Habana ( 4 tries in the last game) continues his good form

He is a machine. Perhaps the best finisher ever. I'm settling down now ready, enjoy the game mate.

Well I am shocked! New Zealand out, Austraia out. France and England advance. We can only have a north Vs. south final.

How did New Zealand choke again!!!!

If there are any Yanks on the board following rugby, I salute you. Because I am one of those Americans that will never embrace the game.

Why not?Some say that Rugby is more dangerious than American football.Speaking of America,did the USA get eliminated yet..or did they win their match?

What a great day of rugby on saturday with England & France surprising everyone. I was rooting for Fiji to upset the odds once again on Sunday but it wasn't to be.

Can't wait till next weekend!

outh Africa 37- Argentina 13...

I was rooting for the underdogs. Argentina has come a long way, enough so that there's talks of putting Argentina in the TriNations, making QuadNations (I guess)...

but what was heartwrenching was the Argentinians after the loss... they really wanted the win, they really wanted to prove themselves... and the Argentinians, honorably dealing with their defeat, found sorrow in their loss and cried to themselves...

They did well, but not well enough...

I want South Africa to win the Rugby World Cup against England...

 

[Whirlysplat]

After all that

 

[batnkevlar]

South Africa was the team i was rooting for... better than England...

but all in all, I wanted New Zealand to win, France to lose, and Argentina to kick some ass.

 

[Kaleb]

After all that

next time perhaps.

Johannesburg - The Xhosa royal house has invited the Springboks for a traditional celebration, including the slaughtering of an ox, to mark their Rugby World Cup victory.

Dispatch Online on Tuesday quoted AmaGcaleka Kingdoms spokesperson Prince Xhanti Sigcawu as saying: "The whole team needs to visit the Great Place (at Nqadu near Willowvale) to have oxen slaughtered for them in celebration."

Rugby, he said, was a popular sport in rural areas.

"We invite the team and their managers to come and celebrate the achievement with us," said the prince.

"There is nothing better for any team in the world to spend time with a royal family and celebrate."

Prince Sigcawu raised some concerns about racial representation of the country's award-winning rugby squad.

"It is almost 100% white. We also need to see people of African origin be part of the playing squad," he said.

"But the victory of this team is the victory of all in South Africa, black and white. We are proud of the achievement

I wanna see more of Argentina... I hope they change the TriNations to the QuadNations and allow Argentina entrance, since they are indeed a southern hemisphere team...
