I'm afraid not, it was straight knock out. Now they will play for 3/4 place on Friday

Its not an all important result but still

France 10 Argentina 34

Argentina beat France to the third spot.

Tonight is the big one when the WORLD CHAMPIONS reclaim their crown, rising to the peak of the sport once again in the face of such adversity!

That is actually a very important score... Argentina coming third means that they should be guaranteed a spot in the Tri Nations. Also, they hd to prove the opening match was not just a fluke, but they have the skill to do it over and over again.

Congratulations South Africa, World Cup Winners.

The best side throughout the tournament won, deservedly so. They were winning the line outs, as well as the important battles and Englands luck just ran out.

Congratulations South Africa

It was a much more comprehensive team that won the tournament, and perhaps rightly so. Sometimes, it is better for the sport when the multidimensional sides win. It helps the advancement of the sport with youth who see the World Champion's playing the way they want to play.

But, regardless, commiserations AlphaDevil.
