Re: Rugby World Cup
France forwards better than England? Isn't it the other way around? England was completely over powering France up front (atleast in the last home stretch) and the only competent back they had was Wilkinson. France, on the other hand, were undone by their own bone headed decisions (many by their backs) and some dodgy passes late in the game.
Through the match the French forwards drove the English miles when they kept ball in hand. Set pieces were 50-50.
Backline I think I agree with you except that Lucy, Robinson and the black winger (forgot his name) are all good players.
Still expect the Bok's forwards to be more dominant and the backlines 50-50.

Re: Rugby World Cup
I was wrong. The Argentinians took the Springboks to task in the forwards. Think they will have to seriously look at their scrums before taking on England. Only one doing his part is the "Old Man" number 1 Os du Randt. His real name is Pieter but was nicknamed "Os" (meaning Ox) during primary school. Good to see a man of 35 still running around and making the huge tackles he does.
It will be a very hard game in the final. Who will win? Hopefully the Springboks.
Just hope Juan Smith is not penalised to not play in the final due to his high tackle. He is one of the kingpins among the forwards.
