Tbf England played at their maximum and deserved to get to the final. But tbh for the sake of the tournament, it would have been terrible for any team from that side of the draw to get to the final.

Again it’s my bitterness which is probably wrong, it’s absolutely sour groups, and I sort of feel bad for posting this with the English fans on here who are amazing and gonna be gutted after tonight, but it’s not the achievement their media, some fans think tonight is. The resources they have, damn right they’re beating Fiji in a QF and unbeaten in a group of Argentina, Japan, Samoa and Chile. England should have been getting to the semi final with their group and their QF irrespective of their form.

But they were great tonight and we’re unfortunate to loose against a team who knows how to win big games

England 15 - 16 South Africa

Well this was a much closer scoreline than anyone was expecting.

Despite neither team playing at their best, England’s stodgy, counterattacking style of rugby nearly stifled the springboks, keeping the world champions tryless until an hour in.

Kicking penalty after penalty, even slotting in a drop goal, Owen Farrell seemed determined to repeat England’s performance against Argentina, where they won on nothing but penalties.

In the 78th minute though, Handre Pollard broke English hearts by taking the lead with a penalty kick of his own, dragging South Africa into the final against New Zealand.

In current form, they’ll struggle against the All Blacks next week. Given their recent 35-7 victory over New Zealand however, anything’s possible.

Meanwhile England will be facing off against Argentina… again. Los Pumas will be hoping to avoid the meltdown that led to their 27-10 loss a month ago during pool play.

In any case, small victories for South Africa. It was a messy game, and a third rate performance from the men in green, but a win’s a win. They’ll have to up their game if they want to retain the Webb Ellis Cup, however.

I have barely recovered from the football world cup last month, and now the rugby world cup is starting in just a couple of hours! I'm excited, but also dreading the inevitable from a Scottish perspective - I've been mad about the draw since 2020, still can't believe they did it so early, and based on rankings from January, not even two months after the previous world cup. It's a terrible system and I really wish they'd change it.

However, I have to admit it's set up some exciting pools - pool C in particular stands out, I feel like any of Australia, Wales, Fiji, or Georgia could qualify, in fact I'll be disappointed if it does end up just being Australia and Wales! Likewise, while England are usually my second team, I'd be more than happy seeing them stay in the pool and Argentina and Japan making it out of pool D.

I'll be supporting Scotland no matter what but I'm not gonna get my hopes up too high - yes, I think we could beat any team on a good day, but we can also lose to just about anyone in a way you wouldn't expect, say, the All Blacks or Springboks to - it would be just like Scotland to pull a shock victory against South Africa or Ireland only to lose to Tonga and fail to qualify anyway. Also, even if we somehow pull off a victory against South Africa/Ireland, that doesn't guarantee qualification, it could then come down to bonus points if the team we beat also beat the other one. And if a miracle happens, it'll be France or New Zealand waiting in the Quater-finals... but my honest prediction is Scotland come third in the pool losing to both South Africa and Ireland - my only hope is that we put in some good performances along the way.

The Quarter-finals will be brutal, only two of the four big favourites can get through. I have a feeling the Semis will be pretty dull after that, with the draw being so imbalanced, but if players get lost along the way to injury or cards I could see one of the favourites still going down there.

Right now I'm leaning towards a French victory. It feels like there's so little between the top four teams, so I think the home-side advantage will just tip it in their favour. I would not be surprised if the final winds up being a repeat of this opening match - France v New Zealand - it would be poetic in a way. Whatever happens though, in the end I just want to see some good rugby!

All Blacks v Springboks: The Rugby Championship will take place in Auckland.

This Saturday at 8 a.m. All Blacks v Springboks Rugby on Sky Sports, watch the Rugby Championship match between New Zealand and South Africa.

England vs. France, Ireland vs. England, New Zealand vs. Australia, Munster vs. Leinster, and Scotland vs. England are just a few examples of great rugby rivalry. But for many, the matchup between New Zealand and South Africa comes in first.

This Saturday’s matchup between the All Blacks and the Springboks will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Action at 8:05 a.m. It is widely regarded as the main matchup of the shortened 2023 Rugby Championship season.

The Rugby Championship 2023 fixtures | All Blacks Rugby Championship Schedule 2023

In their 103 previous encounters, the All Blacks have 61 victories, the Springboks 38, and four ties. But statistics don’t do their competition and relationship credit in the slightest.

Growing up in South Africa and choosing rugby as your sport of choice meant hopes of playing against one team: The All Blacks, as former Springbok wing Ashwin Willemse explained to Sky Sports a few years ago.

We all grew up in a country were playing in a Test match against the All Blacks was the one game that we all desired to experience.
