So following from last time England roused themselves after a 0-36 beating by the Bokke and beat/were assisted by the officials/cheated/skillfully defeated Samoa, Tonga, Australia and France to find themselves up against the Bokke who beat them 6-15 the second time around. Which means the Sais will not be going on and on and on about the Rugby World Cup for another 4 years. France had their own mini final in beating New Zealand in Cardiff.

So my choice of team of the Coupe Du Monde.

15 Percy Montgomery - South Africa

14 Delasau - Fiji

13 Jacques Fourie - South Africa

12 Yannick Jauzion - France

11 Bryan Habana - South Africa

10 Juan Martin Hernandez - Argentina

9 Fourie Du Preez - South Africa

8 Isotalo Mika - Tonga

7 Thierry Dusatoir - France

6 Schalke Burger - South Africa

5. Victor Matfield - South Africa

4. Simon Shaw - England

3. CJ Van der Linde - South Africa

2 John Smit - South Africa

1 Pablo Roncero - Argentina

Meanwhile in the US the final did make the NYT but the World Series is underway and Boston lead 1-0 we shall see
