Barring some inspired England renaissance on Saturday which is possible, as they have been rising to the occasion in their less onerous pool draw en route to the semis, I predict a Springbok All Blacks final. From there all my bets are off.

No changes, only the second time in 60 odd games.

Able to watch live on Stuff! still buffering a bit but not as bad as the other day.
With sound off and listening to the Forever Sports commentary. It works.

Seemed quite unevenly matched for a semi-final. Disappointing for Argentina.

Settling in with a cup of coffee ready, links open to follow commentary - no live video of the game to view today, just the commentator, but he's most entertaining and gives a great commentary.
Fingers crossed! :)

Delayed coverage shown here on Sky Open starts at 0930 so kick off probably not until 1000, after obligatory blether, when we'll be out of the house with the grandsons. :(

Daily Telegraph 'live' coverage meanwhile shows that England are in the lead - amazing after South Africa's last game and England's performances so far.

Moaning about 'mismatched' ABs v Pumas seems to forget that they've beaten ABs on several occasions in the past, but this time came up against a team at the top of their form.

I might regret my predication about the final at this rate!
