    I don’t mind who wins as long as it is not Wales

    Me too. Why change it?

    England have brought in Ford as they will look to kick more for territory in behind NZ when in their own half......however they won’t be doing terribly judged box kicks like ones Murray was at against NZ.

    If Wales win the RWC I will doubt my being.

    Their confidence and resolve are really admirable. & equally infuriating when seen through Irish eyes!

    But they lack for world class players and have a weak bench to get past this SA team.
    Can’t see how they will score tries against that defense.
    Hope it’s a good game.

    Weather might have a big say in that. Could be slalom rugby!

    It should be on the Player and Radio 5 Live will have a radio commentary I would assume.

    I think its inevitable England will win tomorrow and by quite a large margin although I hope I'm wrong. I'd like a NZ vs SA final.

    So much possibilities in these semi finals but I think it will be an All Blacks vs Wales final

    Jesus you cant not be envious of these teams. Will we ever get there ?

    Bookies don't always get everything right, obviously.

    England had a very fortuitous summer in the cricket, got both the rub of the green in the ODI World Cup Final (against NZ) and to a certain extent in the Ashes (which they should have lost outright). No logic behind it but it just appears they're getting the rub of the green quite a bit sport recently.

    Sad...really. Their union voted for us to host the WC when we rightfully had a shout it. Add they are a NH team who we play regularly so id be happy to play the best.

    I have no idea who'll win either game, plenty of reasons to go with either team in each semi.

    Forgettable WC up to this, bar a bit of the Japs, really looking forward to 2 titanic battles,

    History edging to 2 SH wins,

    C’Mon England and Wales .

    It would be good for Northern Hemisphere Rugby if they get to the Final .

    Could even Help Ireland improve .

    I'll be shouting for England and Wales this weekend. A N.H. win is the only consolation left for me from this W.C.

    Here's hoping for two cracking games.

    It'll take an absolute miracle for Wales or South Africa to beat England if they can replicate what they did today.

    No surprise either. If any team was going to take down the All Blacks, it was always going to be England.....they're a massive side.
