    Or you know a recognition that we’re getting the same teams winning it.

    No one is taking anything away from the achievements of SA or NZ, but having 2 teams that have won 3 each isn’t exactly an exciting prospect for the final. Especially since we knew this would be the match up after the quarters

      Semis weren’t duds though. England scared SA and set the narative for Saturday. And quarters were so exciting! More fool anyone predicting this weekend. I cannot wait!

        England gave SA a scare but in the end the expected team won. And the NZ v Argentina was certainly a dud.

        Yeah, the quarters were exciting but you’d hope that the excited would build to the final. Not go down and then back up.

        If the Ireland v NZ and the France v SS games were the semi-final match ups, even with the same outcome, the narrative for the final would be different
