South Africa - Are brilliant watched them against the All Blacks even though they lost i think they will be too strong for Japan. As for Gregor Townsend i have no idea- The thing about him is he never shows emotions.

Japan have nothing to fear from SA, who will have painful memories of the last time they lost to Japan in the 2015 World Cup.

If you'd stuck all-black kit on them in the first half today, you'd have said that's the difference between NZ and everybody else.
Clive Woodward said in an interview last week that the hardest man to stop was a wee, fast, powerful player like a Shane Williams of Wales, or his own Jason Robinson - Japan appears to have these men in every position from No 8 upwards.
My money's on them for the semis.

Thanks, For your comments, exile.

The bravado in me is - South Africa v New Zealand -final. An anti-climax - South Africa wins +3.

Ladbrokes- Are offering odds of 11/4 thats nearly 3/1- on Australia defeating England tomorrow morning, That's very generous, i was thinking of a very close match.

40-16 ft. That’s why there are no poor bookies. Don’t give up the day job

That means nothing now... New Zealand will thrash England in the semis. Dont get down foam.

Working this morning so didn't see England v Australia but made it hame for the all blacks, they are absolutely relentless. If England beat them they deserve to win it.

Thoroughly enjoying this competition. Watched 2 great games of Rugby this morning and then the Hearts v Rangers game and nearly fell asleep.

England made the all blacks look ordinary this morning, the Webb Ellis is theirs to lose now.
