England v South Africa

[Marcus]

This is probably the biggest match of the pool stages, and should be a very tight and tense contest.

I would very much like to see the boks win, but England will get them in the end. Should only be by 6pts I reckon.

A sellout crowd will be on hand, and expect a top class atmosphere.

You seem more confident of a close result than I do. South Africa this year have been absolutely woeful while England just keep getting better . Hopefully the Boks can stand up and really push the Poms to the wire.

I personally think the Australia v Ireland match is shaping up as the cracker of the preliminary stages. With Wood and O'Driscoll added to the side they are a much classier outfit than the one the Wallabies belted in June.

I'm also looking forward to the Fiji vs Scotland match to decide second place in Pool B. Scotland were lucky to beat Japan while Fiji were right in the game on Saturday night until France went beserk in the final 20 minutes. I'm glad Caucaunibuca will be back for that game as he is an awesome player to watch.

To be honest im hoping for an Eng win, they have beaten every major side this year and deserve their top billing. SA have gone down hill this year with internal issues still plaguing them. Though I did think they played well the other night.

I am looking forward to the Ireland vs Argentina game, if the Pumas had put up a better showing against the Wallabies this pool would have been allot tighter.

I am also looking forward to the minow games. Fiji, Tonga and Samoa all play tonight anbd have a good chance of winning.

Also the crowd last night at the Arg's game was fantastic great atmospher, the Aus public have to be given a clap on the back.

I think it was about 18,000 that attended. Great effort especially for a tuesday night.
