Didn't think SA would make it - severe lack of discipline in the team. Having said that they did not fold too easily. Still backing NZ to win (sorry CH) - they have the most powerful rugby side I have ever seen.

If you do, which team is your favorite?
Used to follow football but the players have just become a bunch of overpaid prima donnas. As a mate of mine once said - 'these days when a footballer goes down on the pitch (normally a dive) the first two at his side are the hairdresser and the solicitor' That sums up the game for me these days. They would put Hollywood actors to shame. The sport has become pathetic.
Rugby - a hooligan's sport played by gentleman
Soccer - a gentleman's sport played by hooligans
In rugby players come off the pitch with fractures and broken noses, yet they keep playing on and don't complain.
In soccer players get a slight bump from another player and you would swear they are going to die at the side of the pitch. Wimps.
And to think I used to prefer soccer over rugby - well not anymore.

I don't really follow League or Union Jerome so I have no bias towards the Aussie team...
I don't really think the Aussies deserve to win, they got there via a travesty of justice with a blatant refereeing blunder in the quarters.
Kiwis are lovely people so I hope they win to even things up after they were beaten by the Aussies in the Cricket World Cup final earlier this year

No....
I don't get how you guys can call it the World Series when its not a "world game"????
They tried to introduce American Football to the Aussie market a few years ago...
We called it "softly-softly footy" because you guys wear all that padding and helmets...
believe me, its not as brutal as Rugby or the AFL, so why do your guys get so many serious injuries,
especially head injuries???
