Well here it is folks. What a 2 months it's been, I've enjoyed every interaction on Lemmy and want to thank you all too

Tonight it's going for 4. The boks after back to back wins, both away unlike the All Blacks', and NZ looking to settle scores after that abysmal world cup warm up. I wouldn't read much into that though: SA have been through the ringer, and NZ have been building since that opening loss vs France

7-1 bench for SA again, with NZ staying pretty strongly in shape match to match, so a tale of squad management. Game management from the inspriational Rassie and his pushing the laws across the whole pitch. And I expect a tale of 80' not unlike the 1995 final

Head, heart, and arse requested before kick off. The BBC rugby world cup daily podcast worth a listen too for a preview too

See y'all for 8pm BST

Thanks for this! It's been very fun with you guys here on Lemmy! Hope we can keep going for the URC (go Sharks!)

Head: SA by 1

Heart: SA by 1

Arse: Jonah Lomu is neutralized and Stransky kicks the winning penalty! The Springboks unite a nation and bring about a golden age in South Africa, eventually leading to a South African scientist solving the energy crisis, and South Africa being the first country to colonize another planet in our solar system.

Am I doing this right?
