Beautiful clear London afternoon to set the stage for a fitting finale to an outstanding World Cup that I just don't want to end.

Irony of Joubert controversy is that he was criticised for NOT making big call in 2011 final. Now same people are slamming him cos he DID.

5 tries to 3. Better team won. There was a marginal call but an understandable one given he had to make it there and then. Grow up, move on

What irritates me about bleating overJoubert's call is that if he'd awarded Oz a scrum they'd probably have won with a try. They'd scored 5

When Australia won RWC here in 1991 they scraped their quarterfinal win over Ireland in similar way to yesterday. Maybe that's an omen.

I still think though that having to beat Boks in semi will make it tough for All Blacks to win a final against Australia.

The latest world rankings look like what I expect to be the finishing order at RWC - 1. NZ, 2. Aus, 3. SA, 4. Argentina.

Wales and Scotland have certainly over past two weekends made Wallabies look a lot more fallible than they looked against England.

Good thing FduP scored that try. If he hadn't the joke today would be WP Nel and Josh Strauss at this point last SA players still in RWC

If it's Sunday, it must mean another trip to Twickenham. What am I going to do with myself when this World Cup is over and habit is broken?

So as it turns out, Scotland are the last northern hemisphere team left standing in this World Cup. Who knew...

Looks like semifinal phase of RWC going to become a version of Rugby Championship played to a knock-out formula. Pumas on fire!

Why do i want foreign influence in Bok coaching team? Because we need to grow a plan that involves more than just 'Give the ball to Schalk'

Regardless of what happens next though SARU have to reconsider plan to keep coach on. Can't survive for 4 years on backs to wall motivation

Boks were poor, Kiwis brilliant. But in 1995 Boks lucky in semi against France while Lomu ran all over England. We know what happened next.

Phenomenal defence from Australia but at stadium you can see Wales taking wrong options in not using the extra man.
