Anyone following the rugby world cup currently?

The tournament is entering its final stages. Yesterday England qualified for the final by beating host nation France in the semi-finals. In less than 3 hours we will know the opposition as the second semi-final South Africa versus Argentina is about to kick off in less than an hour.

So who do you think will win the tournament? Who are you rooting for?

I would love to see Argentina win the tournament. I was originally rooting for New Zealand but now of the teams remaining I would love to see the big underdogs win the tournament. If Argentina would not win their semi-finals I hope that SA wins it ; a souvenir from the time I lived in Ireland is a strong dislike of any teams representing England (which is weird because I love English soccer leagues, I just dislike their national teams in rugby and football)

The team that scores the most points will win.

Nice avatar Mr. Sunkist! A refreshing drink indeed.

South Africa look favourites indeed after a convincing win, but I am a bit afraid the English will pull off another surprise. I hope the Springbokke can win it, they would be a deserved winner.

And how great isn't it when at a semi-final of the world cup there are no segregations of fans and no traces of hooliganism at all? If only football fans were like that...

I am going to put money on England losing. I just hope that I waste my money.

SPRINGBOKS!! :D

Damn, I had the feeling all week they'd win it, if only I had placed I bet on them...

Amusing final although it is weird to see a world cup final without a single try. Of course the disallowed try by England will be seen as the turning point of the game...

Not a disallowed try. It can't be a try if it was in touch. Anyway the result would have been the same. After that failed try attempt, England had a penalty kick and the the 'boks restarted. If a try was scored, the only difference would be 4 points. England still loose.
