South Africa are formidable and won't be easy to beat but we have been really impressive from start to finish in this World Cup and if we play anywhere near our best we should have enough. Good luck to England. The tournament in Japan has been a huge success apart from the typhoon which was difficult to plan for. I've always thought that football could learn from some of the best elements of how rugby is referred. They certainly seem miles ahead of football with their use of VAR for example.
The whole Rugby Union set-up is light years ahead of football Smiler. From VAR (TMO) to the performance of and respect for Refs. Given the choice between watching the over-paid, mediocre and arrogant footballers who represent our country, and the England Rugby XV, there's just no comparison. Tomorrow will be great sporting day and I'm hopeful that it will include wins for England against SA and success for our boys in Kent!!
I will not be watching the egg chuckers final. Not interested better things to do with my time I could not name one player that plays for this team boring
TV sport. I don't know hardly any who'll pay to watch Rugby both codes. Won't be watching. Couldn't name one player from both sides. Last English player I can remember was Jonny Wilkinson. But not knocking those who watch it.
Why should I be interested in an upper middle class sport. Tell me around this area where the flags are out I am not jumping on the band wagon just to watch a poxy game of rugby.

Watching NH horseracing from Ascot & Wetherby this afternoon before you say anything I used to go racing been to this meeting at Wetherby. Also I put money into the bookmakers satchel so in a way pay for my sport. Keeping an eye on Judd Trump in semi finals latest tournament. Watched abit of the Wales semi final. Was like watching sumo wrestling. Who was the strongest trying to push each other back. I can remember Barry John when it was a running game.
Told you I follow class. Judd Trump won the final. That's 2 out 5 ranking events he's won this season. He won't dominate but not a bad start to the season.
