The Final
- Thread starter ripper868
- Start date
I think Australia was 21-0 down and they nearly krept back but carter and co killed it off

Boks by 7, there is a good chance it will be raining. Boks must avoid the fast start of the ABs
My new pet hate in sport is basing predictions based on previous results and guaranteeing the same performance level in the next game, especially against decently matched teams.
For example
2019 final, after the semi, the Dodgers just needed to pitch for the final...
This semi between England and Boks
This cricket world cup had a few games:
Afghanistan vs England
Afghanistan vs Pakistan
Australia vs South Africa
England vs South Africa
Dutch vs South Africa

I'm still holding on to hope that the 1999 wallabies somehow reincarnate.

Holy **** they went and did it, another 7 - 1 split. Matt Williams on suicide watch

Pollard starts, Libbok out completely as Boks go 7/1 for World Cup final | Sport
Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber has named his team for Saturday's Rugby World Cup final against New Zealand at the Stade de France.

I was expecting a 6/2 split... does not surprise based on the low energy in the semi-final. If we win in the forwards, and it is gonna be a wet weekend.
I actually feel a bit for Esterhuizen this world cup, think he is a fantastic inside centre and is in great form. I really felt he deserved to be first team, but obviously difficult to drop de Allende.
I hope Libbok takes it as a learning experience and not get demoralized, it is pretty tough to be 'dropped' for Pollard at the final hurdles.

One thing South Africa has done is create a lot of depth, but the downside is that there are some really good players who just can't make the team. I think when it comes to centres Esterhuizen and Moodie offer more in attack, but De Allende and Kriel offer more in defence and they've opted for the latter.
The culture around the South African team does seem to be that it's not all about the match day squad. If you're not in it then it's your job to make get the guys who are ready for the match. So I'm sure Libbok has some disappointment about missing out, but the coaching staff will have been open about why they picked Pollard, and Libbok has certainly played his role in getting the team to the final.

Willemse and Le Roux (in theory) can cover fly half, Kolbe covers scrum half.

Kolbe's played flyhalf for his club, so I guess he's also an in theory cover there. But it's WIllemse who'll be the main one.
Snyman

Vermualen running off the back of a scrum and offloading to a supporting Snyman would be quite the terrifying sight.

Weather is going to be atrocious, Boks might be slight faves.
Molehill
International Captain
We might have different ideas on 'atrocious'. Only light rain in the forecast, not ideal for handling, but hardly a forwards slugfest either.
