Should be an England cakewalk but invincible England RU teams falling at the final hurdle is one of the greatest pleasures to be had in world sport.

V hard to cheer for SA with a clear conscience but I understand all not Englishes doing that.
Unlucky Wales in the end

Going down w honour in semi final probly much less painful for wales than losing a world cup final to the saxon foe

Yeah our patched up team would have got battered next week. Instead we get to face the wounded ABs in just 5 days in a game no one wants to be in.

In the other code of rugby I just noticed last night that the Catalan Dragons have signed Israel Folau. Stay classy lads.

I've little interest in Rugby or in any team-sport but amazon prime pushed this documentary to my recommended list (I guess because they are pushing rugby more generally ahead of the 7 nations cup) and it is fascinating and infuriating. Incredible stats like: 20-25% of professional rugby players come from the pacific islands (fiji, Tonga, Samoa - combined population of 1.5m people) ; pacific island players were getting paid circa £80 per game while western players were getting payed upwards of £20,000 per game and that PI players were busking on the streets while on tour in Europe to earn cash. Some really horribly sad stories in here of the exploitation of PI players.
http://www.oceansapartfilm.com/
Some spin-off docs as well, you'll have to search for on amazon
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Castaway-Romania-Tongan-national-foodbanks/dp/B08NRDHJFL/ref=pd_ys_iyr3
about a PI player who ended up on contract in Romania but got kidney failure and coudn't return to Tonga because they don't have any dialysis machines there. He's currently living on benefits in Romania.
and
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Caucau-Greatest-Mystery-Rupeni-Caucaunibuca/dp/B08NK3L9PS/ref=pd_ys_iyr2
about another player who became lost in the system and is now penniless in Tonga.
