I’m guessing a loss by a small 1 or 2 point margin and Wilkinson throwing away 9 points. noooo:

Anyway my Granddad kicked those South African arses back in 1901/02.

I suspect the shade of your grandad would not know what to make of the last 100 or so years of South African history.

But never mind. I am not hopeful of a win but am really looking forward to the match.

Quote
Well to have reached the final was an achievement and 'though we lost we did at least draw blood.
Can't be many teams that could have played the 15 Sprinkboks, an Irish referee and an Australian Match Video Official.
That try was IN!

""No point in moaning about that decision ~ you only end up sounding like a Kiwi"

Nice one Brian lol:
