RUGBY WORLD CUP 2015

Lightning won't strike twice Craig. Argentina played their final against Ireland and after the semi final disappointment, just can't see them lifting themselves up for one last hoorah.

South Africa on the "udder" hand will be fully focused on salvaging some pride. The older outgoing players will want to retire on a high, similarly, the next generation will want to impress and lay down a marker. Either way, they will want to make a statement and win comfortably because when they return home, everyone will remember the outcome of Friday's third and fourth play-off and forget about the disappointment of not lifting the Cup. I will say SA to beat the -8.5.

The Final, siding marginally with New Zealand. See they have played each other 4 times at neutral venues and it's two wins a piece, NZ having amassed 81 points and Australia 75. I feel Dan Carter will be the difference between the two sides. NZ will revert back to ball in hand running rugby because they don't fear Foley's kicking prowess as that of (say) Pollard/Lambie, and will want to capitalise on any early indiscretion on the part of Australia. Should it play out the way I think it will, NZ will comfortably beat the -6.5 handicap.

Awaits Chicken's vehement reposte :lol:

Can't argue with your well thought out post Bayern although I am hoping that the Aussies win as I invested in them @ 9/1 some 8 or so weeks ago

Just read an article on the referee for Saturdays final, Nigel Owens. He was on a brink of death, tried to commit suicide because of his gay sexuality, only to be found at top of a mountain by a helicopter that had a heat detector onboard to find signs of life. What a turn around. Wish him all the best but you know the trolls on social media.

Most famous troll I know is CnC on the 2 Craigs, they will beg to differ and say its vice versa, the other way around

I am not a troll naresh, as trolls are nasty and vindictive. I am a realist and a wind up merchant and enjoy the banter especially with those Durban boys and they do the same to me. Johnnycomelately has my back which spurs me on :lol:

Chicken, getting to the final, you half way there, I wish Australia pull it off for you, and I mean that.

I'm rooting for you 2 Chicken, don't love all blacks :evil:

The bench will have to win this match for the Boks.

Only if they get sent on after one minute's play.

meyer is just pucking fathetic - see what the joker did while the All Blacks were practicing with the wet ball at half time last Saturday.

Meyer is an absolute idiot.... Not that we did not know that already. Yes, rugby is a team game, we are playing a bronze medal game (basically like kissing your sister), and prick himself meyer takes off habana in probably his last test and puts on a defensive centre. Honestly what a idiot!!!!!!!!excuse my french, but he is a farken wanker.....
