Fair play to England for reaching the semi finals - they’re getting better through the tournament although they haven’t played a decent team yet. Tonight’s result will be interesting. If SA win then I’d expect them to smash England in the semi, but up against the French, even with home advantage, I think England could pull off a result.

Shows how opinions can differ I think France beat England by 25+ but England could give S Africa a close run game

Aa an England supporters any chance we can hand back the win to Fiji?
Based on this first 20 minutes , outside of one of those days, it is an absolute drubbing.

France v South Africa: absolutely riveting. This could make for a fantastic final in itself.

That first half was like the first round in the Hagler - Hearns fight. Breathtaking !!!

Handbags. Not a decent punch in sight.

Unbelievable game. Think every player who played that game(with the exception of faf) should feel immensely proud. I thought yesterday's game was fantastic, but this was a game for the ages !

I think we're in for an unbelievable final. Southern Hemisphere win yet again.

That was something else .I am not a rugby person but I just watched sporting excellence from two teams. It will take something unbelievable for Argentina and England to get past the semis.

I think most see this as the scenario cum next week but...

I didn't see the game but unfancied and unconvincing England are only one mistake/bad decision away from getting to the final and then the unthinkable shirley couldn't happen!
Could it??

I felt quite guilty. Rugby on the tv, football on the phone with sound off

Can't rule it out but I struggle to see them getting close to NZ, even if they manage to get through a bruising encounter with the boks.
