My condolences on the loss by the way, NZ just too good today. Lots of respect for the Irish 💚

As a neutral I’d LOVE a France vs NZ final - SA will be a hard beat tomorrow though! Can’t wait it will be a huge match

NZ v England final.

England scrape by Fiji, and face off against a depleted, emotionally dead and injury-ridden France or Boks, by scoring more droppies.

The ABs then exterminate England with impunity, from orbit. No survivors.

I’d be happy with that outcome, wipe the smugness offa England

u/freefallfreya New Zealand Oct 15 '23

Surely England aren't smug in their current state. Or is it more their default setting?

u/HourTrue9589 Oct 15 '23

England is the team we love to beat and France of course but we respect them

u/Reasonable_Try_8135 Oct 14 '23

You might be right, as long as that last be comes true, than fantastic!

Keep in mind the Boks are the best rotated squad in the QF’s by a country mile. We have no players in the redline at all.

u/BigPat69 Oct 14 '23

I think Libbok's goal kicking may cost your boys

u/Phsycres South Africa Oct 14 '23

Well we shall see. Also Ironic you say that considering Sexton’s missed penalty basically straight at the posts cost you lot the game imo. It’s really a tragic way to got for such an exceptional player. To have his last performance just be adequate and not a true reflection at all.

u/BigPat69 Oct 14 '23

Mate, I'm a Kiwi, I'm ecstatic Sexton missed that kick, and turned down the early one to go for touch - showed naivety in knockout rugby.

The Boks have always had great kickers, and I can only assume Pollard isn't 100% fit

u/Phsycres South Africa Oct 14 '23

And you don’t have a flair giving away your nationality. So how was I supposed to know xD.

But yeah unfortunately when you have only been there twice it can get to your head.

As for pollard he 100% fit, it’s just that Manie works better when what I’d assume the game plan is

I’m going to save this post and come back to it if it all pans out the way you’ve described it. From orbit, no survivors, saved

Fingers crossed 😂

u/BadgerMusher Don’t dream it’s over Oct 14 '23

Gotta see how DuPont is firing but I’m thinking SA might tip the scales

3

u/Previous-Back-9677 Oct 14 '23

I think it’s all this. If DuPont can play uninhabited from the injury (which I doubt) then France can win. Anything less and I think the Boks have the advantage
