Rugby World Cup Final?

Question

England have climbed two mountains so far (the Aussies and the French), the Boks without Habana, us without Wilkinson, how do we stop Habana? without sending out an assissination squad prior to the game. I reckon if Habana entered the Olympic 100m sprint he`d come away with a medal, well done Boks.

Answer 1

It makes for a cracking final - this'll be an unpopular comment but I really fancy South Africa for this one.

The run of form in previous matches between the two, plus the Boks will be hungry  - its been 12 years since they last won it.

Think it'll be a close game though.

Answer 2

Youer only hope would be Sackey........he is the only one I can think of off hand who could stop Habana.........a cheetah and a few pumas tried..............and failed:-)

Good luck!

Answer 3

Need to keep  a tight back four, and train up Micah Richards double quick!

He is as good as any olympic sprinter, but the pity is he doesn't play rugger!

Answer 4

Simple fact.... you cant stop habana unlike wilkinson habana isnt injury prone either so...................

South Africa are gonna kick arss.

Answer 5

Don't know who will come out tops.

But it seems there is always someone who will bring Wilkinson down.

Remember Carlos Spencer?, Frederik Michalak?, Stirling Mortlock? or Chabal?

The Boks deserve to win, but then so did France and Australia. England were just cleverer, more determined and took nothing for granted.

I wish Habana well, he's been very entertaining to watch. But I don't fear him against England. I could be wrong but if ENG get it right he won't matter, and if ENG get it wrong we'll have bigger things to worry about.

Answer 6

Habana? Well just don't give him enough room! Like what the Fijians did....and when you hit him with a tackle?...Hit him Hard!

Maybe that will work!

Answer 7

Lewesey (if fit) should stop him often, he is a fantastic tackler but if Habana wrong foots him (may very well happen, as he has AMAZING balance) and breaks away then hopefully Robinson will be on him. I dont think Robinson is much slower than Habana, he has a faster turn of speed, and if he is sat back in FB then he will have a few yards head start to catch Habana if he breaks away.

Just to note, about the Olypic thing. I'm not sure if it is true but Rory Underwood once clocked a time (on GRASS in BOOTS) 100m in a time that would have placed him in a medal position in the 1988 Olympics.

Answer 8

I can't see England overturning that 36-0 defeat of a few weeks back.

Answer 9

SA never lost a final.

GOOG LUCK SPRINGBOKS.
