Can los pumas take on the mighty all blacks up front? Will king boff kick them to a half time squeeky bum time for the kiwis? Will Dmac light up the field and shut down all his detractors? Will we see a different haka tonight?
Find out later!
Head, heart and arse requested before the match please.
Your head being your rational prediction. Your heart your longed for. And your arse your 6 pints deep wild take.
They messed up the draw for the pools. The four in form “semifinal” teams met in the quarters.
I was thinking about that some more. I’ve been a bit anti the draw in the past because it was so lopsided. But; there’s something to be said for doing the draw at least 2 years out. It makes test matches in the first 2 years of a World Cup cycle mean more. We want the tier 1 teams to try to be the best in the world all the time, not just from 18 months out from a World Cup.
Yeah, it’s too bad. Every QF was electric, which is great, but It really feels like France and Ireland should be in the semis
Absolutely, watching the two games on Sunday it was like South Africa and France were playing a different sport
