    I am a South African and a fanatical rugby fan. I must however concede that we lost this last World Cup before we even arrived in New Zealand. The controversy around the referee was a great excuse for a poorly planned campaign by a hugely talented team.
    Well done New Zealand

    I am very disappointed in the way South Africa lost to Australia in the quarters.The referee was, to say the least, very poor allowing Australia time after time to gain posession illegally, thus denying us scoring points.South Africa though have themselves to blame as they dominated all facets of the game(except the scoreboard),and should have won convincingly.
