I've been generally pulling for the Boks because they have a number of players that I really like in Burger, De Jager and Strauss but after watching that AB game I cannot see anyone beating them. They are just on a whole other level.

The AB/Boks match is basically the Final in my opinion.

Which is okay, as a Rugby fan in general and an enthusiastic neutral its in all of our best interests to watch the All Blacks play as many games as possible, they are an absolute treat.

Its the way of sports like this, we becomes fans of the big teams because they're the ones we get to see more often and that get talked about most.

Aussies vs. Argies is a much tougher call.

Honestly, I think this one should be a Wallaby win, but if they play like they did against the Scots the Argies are going to destroy them.

In small tournaments at the single-elimination stage you dont get days off but the Wallabies took one and got away with it, they wont get another.

It seems like the Argies are peaking at the right time and I still havent seen the Wallabies put in a full effort.

If next game is where Australia get that effort and elevate their play its there for the taking, but if they dont the margins for error are effectively gone.
