Amen

Did anyone notice how Mc Caw and particularly the no 7 Sheep Shagger were far less influential when subject to the current laws of the game? I thought that Joubert aquited himself well in the semi he blew. One or two small errors and one corker when he called advantage over when it wasn't and The AB charged down the Aus kick. Nothing less than they deserved imo. Good luck and well done to Mr Joubert. At least we have one S.African in the final. And he has made it on merit. Good one!

Well done Craig! I bet the AB's wish they had BL (Bin Laden aka Bryce Lawrence) after the 9-11 scoreline....

Think the Boks have slipped to number 4 in the world rankings

depending on the new/old coach and with Smit gone we will be a true force in the next 12 months as will wales

The French will need a French ref to keep the score respectable IMO 45-0 ?

The French are at a hiding to none in the final.......i say minimum a 25 point difference.......hence the 1/10 on offer for the AB to win. I will wait for the handicap and anything less than 25, i will back the AB at 9/10.

At this stage seen AB to win by more than 12.5 pts at 11/20
