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
Sorry dude. No he didn't.
Thanks for prefacing that with an apology
The
means I was joking, in case that wasn't clear. -

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.

I wish the AB's were there, but not to be of course. First penalty to SA.
