    Yeah, in knock out rugby SA’s game comes into its own, with these no jeopardy windows I hope we see all teams throw the ball around more!

    Argentina by 3 is interesting too, any reason for the tightness? Frances form hasn’t been amazing, but they are still 4th in the world and the guly between the top 4 and rest has been there for some time

      I have a counter-thought about SA’s knockout rugby; it only looks good because they squeaky bummed it in those games. But they only won by 1 point and it could easily have been a result the other way & then people would have been asking questions about why they don’t use their incredible backs more etc.

      I just have a vibe about Argentina; they didn’t have as good a year as they would have hoped in '23 but it was still pretty decent and they’re playing at home against a French team that’s only just finished their playoffs. So if they were ever going to get a win it would be now. We’ve seen more of Argentina at home thanks to the Rugby Championship and they’re getting increasingly hard to beat there.
