    All the best to New Zealand in hosting this world cup. Think they will host a marvelous world cup. It will be a cracker down there. The atmosphere in NZ gonna be awesome.

    Enjoy it to all the kiwis that blog here. Nothing more wonderful than hosting a world cup in ones own country. Vibe there must be really awesome right now.

    To all the saffas going, enjoy it for all of us.

    @Puma(Puma)-45: Apparently the easier route is on the other side of the draw. I don’t care realy. As long as we beat every single team we play against. All it comes down to for me. Same like last time

    @PissAnt(PissAnt)-48: In my book one semi will be Poms vs Aus, and I believe the poms will desecrate their counterparts up front. Dejavu

    As Hendrik said earlier, an England/SA final is not that far fetched. Assuming we get through the groups, and a NZ semi, unscathed

    @PissAnt(PissAnt)-41: I say so too.

    Let the games begin… :)

    Heck so excited now. Only a few days before our Boks play.

    You right we would have to face Oz whether we see them in the quarter or final that is if they make the final. Don’t they face England in the semi? If they make it that far. Think they will though. England could surprise.

    @UptheGuts(UptheGuts)-52: Oz has the easiest route out of any.

    Ours is the hardest but we really should win our pool. Well hoping we do. Cause really looking forward to seeing us play NZ in the semi on their home soil in a wc. Was hoping it was a Bok/AB final in 2007 but not to be. Also now would have hoped for a Bok/AB final but they seeded the teams way, way too early. So we face them in the semi. If we make it that far, which I really hope we do. We can beat them. My biggest worry is the ref. On home soil the ref always seems to give those 50/50 calls to the home team. Our discipline will have to be 100%.

    Now just holding thumbs no injuries to any of our players.

    Go Bokke Go.

    @stormersboy(stormersboy)-58: The last time we will see a wc in a real rugby country for a very long time, until South Africa gets it again. So we should all really enjoy this world cup. NZ will hold a great tourney I am very sure of that.

    Now just done a quick squiz on some of the rugby blogs I blog on and saw on sw a thread. Where will everyone be watching the games that are not in NZ. Now that would be a nice subject..hehehe.

    I also only watched the send of today. Set my pvr before I went away on business.

    What a bloody marvelous send off that was for our Boks!! Well done South Africa. Doubt any country had a send of like that. Brilliant.

    Heck that would have been awesome. Just not to be. Pity, unless we do lose to Wales and go the tough route beating Oz and England. Or NZ lose to France which I doubt very much. This time round they gonna klap France big time.

    Cheers PA. In a teleconference now. Back later.

    Can you imagine if the Boks actually slipped up and came runner up in their pool, but everything else went to plan? The All Blacks would be all alone on one side of the draw with France, England, Australia and South Africa against each other on the other side! Rugby really needs to expand more then it has.

    Lets be honest here the Boks have seen better days and as a unit are off form, there is no denying that!. However they can still win for two reasons 1) no team in the 6 nations is even remotely close to the top three at the moment 2) there have been stronger NZ and Australian sides in the past, NZ were stronger in 2005 and 2007 than they are now without a doubt.

    The gambling thing is beyond a joke now Keo i dont care who you are sponsored by or whats in it for you, gambling is for fu@king bums. Instead of telling them to gamble just tell them to cut to the chase and suspend 6 feet of rope off a sturdy beam!

    Watch the boks win the cup again despite all the naysayers. I see even Ewan Mckenzi has now dissed the boks. According to the reds coach it’s between NZ, AUS and Eng. Pffft……

    Hard to keep track with people changing their names all the time, at least its obvious you are from the same country or support the same country.

    As far as ‘classic’ finals go, the Calcutta Cup might have been ‘classic’ in 1879, but we have moved on since then.

    Rules for RWC, have they always had bonus points in the Pool stages?

    Match points system

    The following number of match points will be awarded for each pool phase match:

    Win – 4 points
    Draw – 2 points
    Loss – 0 points
    4 or more tries – 1 point
    Loss by 7 points or less – 1 point

    Rankings at the completion of the pool phase

    At the completion of the pool phase, the teams in a pool are ranked one through five based on their cumulative match points, and identified respectively as winner, runner-up, third, fourth and fifth.

    If at the completion of the pool phase two or more teams are level on match points, then the following criteria shall be used in the following order until one of the Teams can be determined as the higher ranked:

    The winner of the match in which the two tied teams have played each other shall be the higher ranked;

    The team which has the best difference between points scored for and points scored against in all its pool matches shall be the higher ranked;
    The team which has the best difference between tries scored for and tries scored against in all its pool matches shall be the higher ranked;
    The team which has scored most points in all its pool matches shall be the higher ranked;
    The team which has scored most tries in all its pool matches shall be the higher ranked;
    Should the tie be unresolved at the conclusion of steps 1 through 5, the team that is higher ranked in the updated Official IRB World Rankings on October 3, 2011.

    New Zealand always take every other tournament there is to win in rugby and the most messed up thing about it all is that they cant take the one that really counts.
    Its like England claiming they going to win the soccer world cup but always fall short well before the last hurdle.

    @dquinn25(dquinn25)-77: England are very good at beating Australia and the French definitely provide a psychological threat to the All Blacks at world cups. I wouldn’t be to quick to write them off causing a major upset along the way.

    Australias forwarded just get mullered against Englandand theirbacks become redundant

    Injury to either McCaw or Carter would be disastrous for NZ who in my opinion are 40% of this team

    Boks to win comfortably

    Brussow ill rule the breakdown which wont allow Welsh to play quick multiphase game they wish to play in order to move bigger pack around.

    Bok tight 5 to rule the collision points.Gain forward momentum allowing loose trio to gain upper hand.

    Better kicking in game in du Preez,Morne & Frans will aid kick chase where Habana,JP & Fourie will win battle ahead of ageing/shorter Williams,rookie North & once good Byrne.

    Wales dont have enough weapons to hurt SA without quick ball & dont have a direct enough pattern to dominate physically,

    SA by 15

    yes it is true ..

    Bakkies’s World Cup over?

    Cape Town – Springbok lock Bakkies Botha’s dream of helping South Africa become the first team to successfully defend the World Cup might be over.

    A reliable source in New Zealand confirmed to South Africa’s Sports Illustrated that Botha’s Achilles tendon injury – which has already ruled him out of Sunday’s match against Wales – is worse than was initially thought and the burly Bulls lock could miss the rest of the tournament.

    The Springbok team will be announced at 22:00 (South African time) on Thursday night, and more clarity on Botha’s participation in the tournament will then be known.

    Sports Illustrated reports that talks between Botha, the Springbok medical team and management were ongoing late into Thursday night New Zealand time, but that a decision is yet to be made on whether or not Botha will stay on in New Zealand.
