New Zealand and Australia out! Who would have predicted THAT!

This must be the most interesting Rugby World Cup ever! In my previous post I said: “and now its time to see New Zealand get knocked out the World Cup by France!” I said it, but never thought it would actually happen!

Its a tournament of surprises. It started with an upset where Argentina won France. Today the number 1 and number 2 favorites get knocked out of the World Cup. Unbelievable stuff!

I did make a prediction and said that it was going to be a SA vs. Australia final. I expected New Zealand would fumble, but not so early in the tournament. The curse lives on for them. Australia was a bit of a shock though.

South Africa better not think they’ve got an easy ride to the finals. We might have a flawless record against Fiji, but as was evident today, the team that wants it the most is going to take it.

Next week’s semi final between France and England are going to be a thriller! That is without a doubt. Well done to both of them. They both played exceptionally well and came through in a big way. Loved it when Captain Ibanez said: “Every one was talking about the Tri-nations semi final…” HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You can’t be too sure now, can you?!

  England vs France - now that’s a match worth going down to a pub for! I think it’s going to be a killer of a match. Thanks for the update, I havn’t been following the rugby closely at all :/
