rassie has blown it, he panicked. spends the last four years telling us we need a squad to win this and then goes unchanged from quarter to semi. that side was out on their feet thats why poms got so close. now fro the final if he rotates the replacements are rusty. why didnt he play esterhuizen moodie williams wiese kleyn van staden etc against poms and freshen the team up. crazy

He knows exactly what he has to do and what he is doing. SA are not the world champs for nothing

He took Etzebeth off and his replacement scored the try

He took Libbek off and Pollard won the match

He took off the props and the two sub probs took Englands front row to town

He has a plan for the final no doubt. Keep the faith

Wayne Barnes the referee for the final...as a barrister, I hope he follows rugby's laws in refereeing the match...

de Klerk and Pollard start the final

Gone 7/1 on the bench SA will try and beat them with the forwards

Paris max of 15 degrees on Saturday...day starts off with about 20% chance of rain increasing to 70% probability by 17h00 and 85% by 20h00...

So, likely to be wet and match will be much like England match...a trudge from set piece to set piece and territory battle being key...play in opposition half and take any points you can...

Lots of kicking if raining in order to win the knock-on/scrum. Whoever is quicker to the breakdown will win the game. From a goal-kicking perspective, New Zealand will want to commit error/penalties as far out as possible, because they Know SA will put them to the sword on that front.

From a punting perspective, too close to call the winner.

Guessing has never been widely acclaimed as a good gambling strategy.
