Too long. The only movement happening is the English still crying over their loss to the boks.

I’ve refused to watch the game with anyone.

My local SA friends are watching it separately, else the friendship might break !!

Watching the QF at our local has made me realise I really don’t want people around who don’t understand rugby.

And that I’ve become an anti social git

Something to look out for. I always say the anthem and the first scrum is our haka, you can get a sense of the emotional state of the team from it. Rugby is a very emotional sport, who is bringing the most emotional energy and controlling it and directing it the best etc. Anyone who doesn't believe that and thinks it's all about technical analysis now, needs to watch the Bok quarter and semi again.

With all the kak that has gone on this week. Pay close attention to the gwijo singing in the tunnel, Kolisi and Bongi are starting players, Trev will be there too, Ox is a quiet reserved guy maybe he'll join in maybe he won't. Gwijo is a Xhosa thing so they'll probably be thinking of Am and Mapimpi who didn't make it if they sing. For Trev, he got injured in 2019 and only played in the first match which was a loss, it must be hard to miss playing in a final and winning a RWC, now is his second chance he's definitely not playing in another RWC. Trev and Bongi are quite close friends by all accounts, they're a similar age and have probably had similar life experiences. Rassie gets the emotional aspect, Trev replaced Koch for this one.

I reckon there's going to be huge emotional energy dropped into that first Team Uncles scrum in the second half. Hard to counter because of their height and low centre of gravity. If the Boks are still in it then it could be the difference.

I may start to lean to supporting one side once the game starts, but right now I still can't (kant?)

Ideally this will be a four or five try thriller, decided in the 83rd minute after a brilliant game.
