Excellent game, with the punch-up at thr end the cherry on the cake.

Don't know about humidity but the kick to win was a very hard one. The one the French missed about 5 mins earlier was much easier.

Could be the wind? There is a massive typhoon on the way.

I just thought the moisture in the air might make the ball move, like Wasim Akram bowling after it has been pissing down.

New Zealand looking a bit impressive.

I think you could be right, mate. Yokohama stadium isn't far from the sea, either. I've no idea if that could add moisture, though. Probably...what with all that water! Some scientists to the thread, please!

Worryingly for everyone else, SA physically dominated the 1st 20 minutes, and then NZ just decided to step it up and pulled away.

They continue to do this, then the tournament becomes a bit of a formality.

[Meanwood Villa]

Couldn't see anyone but NZ winning before the tournament and nothing to change my mind so far

[Meanwood Villa]

Maybe I spoke too soon. Springboks making a game of it. Better pass to the winger on that last break he was in.

[DB]

Great match this.

[Meanwood Villa]

That's the game for NZ

[cdbearsfan]

Enjoyable game, this. Shame there isn't an Argentina or at least a Japan in this group so as to add a bit of jeopardy for the losers. Both of these will annihilate Italy, Namibia and Canada.

[cdbearsfan]

That could be the final.

[taylorsworkrate]

There may now be an argument that England would be better served finishing second in their group.

[Meanwood Villa]

It's not like South Africa would be that much easier. Let's just get through and see what happens.
