A bloody interesting stat,
South Africa have never scored a try in a WC final , despite winning 2 .
Another bloody interesting stat:
South Africa have never conceded a try in a RWC final, despite playing in 2.
Not true, 14/15 replay angles showed Cueto scored in 2007

Hahaha.
Equally, Ed Morrison admitted years later that Ruben Kruger actually did score in 1995
Although, my hours of intensive research on the issue have failed to unearth a single official recording of either tries.
Going to check social media though. Pretty sure that source of truth will validate that they actually occurred.
Right next to definitive proof of the existence of Bigfoot. -

Another interesting stat, SA’s winning score on both finals was 15 points.

True!
If you like spotting patterns / trends in numbers, then I predict The Boks beat England by a score of exactly 15-3 on Saturday -

It was right in front of me and I saw him step on line. No TMO necessary.

Pretty sure I've got a fair idea what the Boks are going to bring - lots of box kicking, attempting to force the mistake - keep it very tight and try to outmuscle and smother the poms.
Less sure what the poms will do - but also probably plenty of kicking but probably a bit more adventure when they've got a territory advantage.
For the Jaapies, I think much depends on them forcing an early mistake and getting a lead. If they can rattle the poms they can potentially squeeze the life out of them.
However, if it's the Jaapies who make the early mistakes and they let the poms get a lead, then they'll be forced to throw caution to the winds. They can actually play expansively, but I don't think they can do it as efficiently as England.
So a foot in each camp that it's not a forgone conclusion - but, I've got the Jaapies winning a nailbiter OR, most likely, England winning pretty comfortably.
Balls on the line England 30-9.

My prediction: Boks to win (after extra time) 22-19.
I don't think England will be able to match their performance from the last two weeks and South Africa have more in reserve. Going to be very close and I think SA's better bench and calmer heads will see them home.
