    Well Dave_H you weren’t exactly bristling with confidence.
    And what a game Wales v Fiji! Pity someone had to miss out. Had to be one of the best games for years and now recriminations and the Coach gets dumped. Mind you that will be nothing if NZ goes down against France.

    Heard that the French were tossed to chose first the colour of their uniform for the next game againt the All Blacks: NZ will consequently have yo play in grey. So their madness will give them extra force (which they didn’t need) and there should be no miracle this time. Au revoir.

    Argentina’s performance I think could see them through to the final - seriously - they are a very well balanced team.

    Another action packed two days. Yes, the Pumas particularly Hernández do look very good. Fiji would be the surprise if they got past SA. Australia v England. I wouldn’t write off the English. And I think we (NZ) have a good chance against France.
    I’m programmed to drink beer and wolf down chips when watching important matches. So, as the games start in the early morning here, it’s going to be another odd breakfast and a written off day. This will be true for me and probably about half the country. We like our Rugby down here.

    I must confess my predictions in the France vs NZ game were completely wrong… And England joining France in eliminating the other dream team of the Pacific, Australia.  Impressive performance. Earth is rotating the other way.

    Well England and France really pulled it out of the bag today! Two stunning performances. Astonishing.

    The show goes on.

    It’s been tough with the loss but I think I’m over it ... just.

    Two great games coming up!
    Hard to pick between France and England and in the other
    you would have to say South Africa.

    Would be really something if the Pumas win through.

    France England - I just can’t call it’s too close. 
    And if South Africa keep themselves for the final then they will loose to the Pumas.
    Mind you I predicted NZ to win - so what do I know!

    I won’t make ay predictions on France vs England because in my previous picks Australia and NZ were in the semis… Jonny Wilkinson can beat a whole team by himself… In the other match I can’t imagine the Pumas beeing beaten and that may be a bad sign for them…

    Ok England fans, your well coached team deserves to be in the finals and to be World champs again. Congratulations and Wilkinson is really something !

    Well I am astonished! A breathtaking and agonising match to watch whichever side you were supporting. Lets hope today’s other semi is as entertaining!

    Too many mistakes by Argentina and the South Africans made best of what they were given. Its not going to be 36 0 to SA in the final though…

    Yes everything is up for grabs for the final match ... and I wouldn’t bet my savings on this one…

    I’m still recovering from Saturday night 😊

    I really thought that France would win, especially seeing the way they hold all that NZ could throw at them and then just sliced thru to get that try. Brilliant. Not that it’s much consolation, Biscuiterie, but everyone speaks very highly of the French hosting and friendliness of the French fans!

    For us, after the dreadful way England were playing at the begining, to have got to the finals is just jaw dropping. So - I’m just hoping for a good game on both sides - might not be good for my blood pressure though!
