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.

An England v Wales final would be a great viewing, though I think I would probably prefer South Africa to get there and win it.

I don't think SA would've beaten NZ in the final and that they would be better against England. I don't know why I think that, but I do think SA's chances have gone up significantly following today's result.

There is no bolt on outright winner yet. I thought NZ were after last week, but happy to be wrong about that. Wales are as capable of upsetting things tomorrow as well.

You'd think SA will win by attrition, but Wales are a bloody good thinking team. They've lost their attack lately but they think nothing of soaking up 200 tackles.

France hurt Wales on the wings, and SA like to use their wings after sucking in the defense. Could go either way.

I think SA will win tomorrow by a couple of scores and flip a coin for who wins it between SA and Eng. It'll be a much tighter affair than today was though imo.

I'm not judging NZ beatability based off the Irish game. We were not at the races in any department. We'd have made any tier 1 nation look brilliant.

It's not hard to be clinical if the opposition are kicking poorly, not competing at the breakdown and offering zero attacking threat from any broken field play.

Ireland were playing in quicksand from kickoff. NZ are beatable as this years rugby championship showed us, I think England are peaking at the right time and I think the Irish game will have been some of the worst prep NZ could have gotten for an English side that are going to come out the gate at full tilt.

I think SA will win tomorrow by a couple of scores and flip a coin for who wins it between SA and Eng. It'll be a much tighter affair than today was though imo.

I will tell you tomorrow. Want to see the manner in which Wales win. If they grind out a brutal bloody win, I would probably want Eng to win it out.

In other words, the team that plays the nicer rugby.

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.

Yeah the boks would put it up to them If they show up but hard to see past England

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

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,

no.8

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.

Looking forward to this. Heart says England...Head says NZ.

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 ?
