What a game and finish. Unfortunate for France but glad SA won.

It was a banger. Let's see if the Frenchies riot later lol

Les Français sont éliminés! South Africa through by one point in a tooth-and-nail battle - the most entertaining match of the tournament so far surely. 1 - 3 in my Quarters predictions.

Seems inevitable that the winners of Ireland/NZ and France/SA will be the final......and these southern hemisphere teams always seem to get it right when it matters most.

Argentina vs New Zealand ON

Argentina playing pretty well. NZ barely out of 2nd gear, and still looking like a comfortable All Blacks win.

Disastrous start to the second half for Argentina.

 

[650lb Sumo]

NZ are way too powerful, they will probably win the whole thing.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Not a big surprise. Happy to see NZ in the final. Good tournament for Argentina.

Whoever wins tomorrow will have their work cut out for them next week judging by that performance!

See I don’t think they were particularly good.

Took advantage of the draw, and on paper semi finals always looks good, but not impressed at all tbh.

Same for England, really,

Yeah, fancy the teams to beat NZ were Ireland and France.

Expect SA to put 20 points on England tomorrow, then NZ to beat SA by about 10.

I know what you're saying and I agree Argentina was a bit fortunate but it's still important to beat the teams you're close to/supposed to beat imho and the draw isn't their fault. I'm sure the team isn't feeling too hot about themselves at the moment but overall I think the tournament was a good result for them. I won't really argue if anyone feels differently though.

England 6 - 0 South Africa after ten minutes!

Northern Hemisphere is still here!

 

[LEWIS540]

SA not turned up at all, thus far. England been very solid.

Crappy weather a good equaliser.

Upset looks very much on at this point.

Coming down to the wire.
