Wasn't overly confident before the game but very happy at the 19-7 victory and a place in the final.

Who will we face next Saturday, Wales or South Africa?

I'm thinking it could well be Wales and an all British final.

Hm, I see a risk that Corbyn may block it.

I thought this was the rugby thread. Isn't there enough space to insult MPs (on a substandard level I must say) in other threads on the board?

Close contest between SA and Wales. The Boks stuck to their defensive plan and won from the tee.

Hard lines on Wales going down 16-19 to South Africa with a 76th minute penalty. You could say the Africans stuck to their game plan and kicked them into submission.

Would have liked to see an all British final.

Well imho, if it's South Africa...its still an all British final to a former San Jose Seahawk hooker with 7 years in the scrum!

We toured Ireland, Australia and New Zealand in the 70's...and actually won a few games
due to our marvelous Welch coaches who taught us well; particularly the scrum to "run under a blanket"! I never had to wait over a ruck for my props and second row. First over the ball with a tight full scrum oft decides a lot of matches! Our captain/coach, a San Jose baby doctor, was a marvelelous leader, playing into his 50's. He'd played for the Shamrocks and retired to Galway. Bottom line as explained to my nephews: American football is "rugby for pussies!" My shekel's on England to win it all! Matt Damon is not playing for the Springboks!

NOTE: THE OLD GUY BEING INTERVIEWED WAS MY OPPOSITE 'A' TEAM HOOKER AND HELPED ME OUT WHEN MY JAW WAS BROKEN ('75) PLAYING FOR CHICO STATE-SHORT A MAN AT HOOKER POSITION-PRIOR TO MY OWN TEAM'S GAME... AHH THE DAYS WHEN I COULD PLAY TWO GAMES AND PARTY!

THE OFFENDING (jawbreaker)MAN WAS REMOVED FROM THE GAME; BANNED FROM THE LEAGUE; AND THE OPPOSITION HAD TO PLAY A MAN SHORT, SO CHICO WON WHILST I WAS AT A HOSPITAL GETTING MY JAW WIRED FOR SIX WEEKS.
