    AB fan here. I enjoyed this discussion. It's interesting to hear the Springbok mindset about playing for a bigger cause. This is probably in contrast to the AB mindset. Most AB fans here in NZ, did not expect the ABs to get past the QF stage. We've had a terrible last few years, and the ABs left NZ for the RWC with the lowest expectations ever on a AB side for a RWC.

      Actually after the performances in the Rugby Championship and Bledisloe cup series, there was confidence in the team. Crucial injuries to Retallic and Frizell were concerning and when Lomax went down and Barrett’s suspension, the build up into the tournament was disrupted.

    • @antonielaing

      Playing NZ in a Rugby World Cup Final is probably a dream for most of our players & fans. Whoever wins this Saturday took the hard road. They had to beat the best in the world to lift the Trophy. This hasn't always been the case. So for me, this RWC winner will be a GOAT team irrespective of past results. There's so many story lines that will play out in this final & just as many players that will probably retire.
      Bring it on.

    Agree 100%. We are lucky to be in the final and we should see it that way. But we are in the finals and we find ourselves there in the best way possible. Worst way would have been if we beat eng by 30 and NZ had a tighter game against Arg. Most people would have Nz as favourites, and looking at our game, it would take a real effort to be worse than last weekend. Also I feel like there is a difference in who and what both teams are playing for. Foster is playing to win so he can sit in a press conference and tell everyone they were wrong to doubt him. Rassie and Jacques will be motivating the team to do it for the fans, the videos of kids from all races crying after the win, the unity it brings, even if temporary. I just have a feeling about this boks team in the final.

    I have to say, the overall unsportsmanlike behaviour of the French crowds in the stands and fans in general has been terribly disappointing. There is no place in rugby for just constantly booing everything you don't feel goes your way, week in and week out.

The coaches put in players according to what is good/beneficial for the team at that time. Really love it. The whole squad delivers when required and perform to their level best.

Jk/Jeff and rest of NZ media will ensure to rub salt into the wounds. Even if a close game and NZ are lucky it will be all about how good NZ are and no appreciation of how SA played.

Like the real institutionalised racism in SA no one ever talks about.
