Any team that wins a Semi deserves a final place! (it's very unlikely in England's case, but possible - as you posted)

I'm supporting Argentina this evening but tomorrow I can't lose; I'm British, born in Yorkshire, currently live here, but grew up in South Africa living there for 25 years so I'm a Bok supporter too. I've only lived in the UK a total of 24 years thus far, the rest Portugal and the Netherlands.
I'd like England to win but equally SA - pretty much torn as to which to side with so both.

Surely you meant to say "I'm Yorkshire born in Britain"

Am I in a minority of one thinking England have a chance? We struck gold with our group and side of the draw for sure, but have 100% win record unlike the opposition at this RWC.
After years of getting mullered by the Boks things took a change for the better in 2016, so who knows?

Not at all.
I don't think it's a very big chance, but it's still a chance. Stuff happens.

Yep me too. Cheika's got them ticking along nicely and as for their fans at each game, fantastic to see that level of support.

Well, that didn't go as I wanted. Let's hope tomorrow's underdogs do better.
On the plus side and more importantly Gloucester won up at Newcastle tonight.

We've been training with a ball dunked in a bucket of water.
That should make the difference, after all the 'Boks don't get much rain down there, do they?

My allegiances are quite torn here. Although obviously I want to cheer on my fellow Brits, I once shared a flat with a South African in 1992 so feel a deep kinship with them, an inexorable pull that I can't really resist.

Might help Marler catch a ball.

A likeable young Aussie (amateur) rugger player lived in my house around the same time.
This fact has had zero impact on my attitude to their sports teams.

Somebody want to break it to Owen Farrell that we have a king now, not a queen?
