South Africa have to win the final to save the game of Rugby.
England have been down right appauling right up to this world cup and a team to be beaten 36-0 in pool games is a disgrace to the competition for them to make it through. They have one player that has been inspurational and that is wilkinson. The rest I would not want to put in a high school team.
French were lucky to make it as the 20 minutes of the NZ game as the ref made very bad decisions which have inturn put the best team out. France also made bad tactical moves in the last 10 minutes that cost them the game. England would of been no match for New Zealand and this has wruined in what would of been a spectical final between SA and NZ.
South Africa will destroy England again in the final IMO to save the game of rugby. looking forward to some south African tries to stop the final being a dour and boring game.

Yeah, I'm with you mate. Granted it's largely emotional at not being able to see the masterful NZ or Aus sides playing, but boy is England rugby ever ugly. They just play defense, get some penalties, make some kicks, and with some luck they can win these low scoring games against anyone. You have to give them credit for doing a really good job of controlling the games and forcing the style they want to play, but it's boring ugly scrappy rugby and it's disappointing that this is what we get in the knockout games.

And the England defense has been phenomenal, you have to give them credit for that. But SA will kill them. England doesn't seem to have any ability to attack at all so if SA can just score a few tries they'll be out of reach.
