Can't believe there's no topic for this, yet.
Anyway, really enjoying it so far.
Japan are everyone's second team simply for the free flowing and fearless - not to mention winning - attitude they've adopted.
England did what they had to do in the earlier rounds but stepped up a couple of levels to see off the Aussies.
But the All Blacks are the Brazil of rugby. Untouchable. They'll have to either have an off day - a very off day - or an opponent a miraculous day not to win it.

Well done England. Im with Mr Mercury as I don't understand the rules, especially when the crowd applauded for kicking the ball out of play.

Similar to Town these days?
I tell you what, the prices for this final are eye-watering even by football World Cup final standards.

Very true, akin to beating Brazil, West Germany and Argentina in the final stages of a football World Cup.

Indeed MM much as Beating Columbia Panama and Tunisia ( if any Football side was ever THAT lucky to get those three ??? ...surely NEVER happen ! ) is akin to the Rugby lads beating Namibia Uruguay and Scotland

Congratulations SA.
They did to us what we did to NZ - in fast and hard, deny space to play, dominate set pieces and exploit errors.
To put it in football terms they're a Duncan side.
Gutted, but in true rugby style you shake hands and wish your opponent well.

I think it was evident after the first ten minutes or so that it just wasn't going to be our day, likewise how it was our day v New Zealand, sadly Gaitlands, at the time seemingly childish snipe, comment of hitting the highs too soon in the Semi Final came true.
