Why would you think differently?

Question

So, here are my reasons why I think South Africa will win tonight:

- they have played Argentina 11 times, and won all 11 times

- Argentina may have won all their games in the competition so far, but the teams they beat include Ireland (who were rubbish) and France (we all know what happened there).

- Both SA and Argentina have very strong packs, and play similar styles of rugby, but Argentina don't have the same speed that SA have in players like Habana.

If you think that Argentina are going to win tonight, what are your reasons?

Answer 1

It's a World Cup semi final.  They know what a final appearance will do to Rugby fervour, and national pride.  I say appearance because we all know who is going to win.

Argentina are a proud sporting nation, and the nation's support and expectations must be phenomenal.

They'll be there or thereabouts.

Answer 2

I'm not saying that Argentina will win but I will say that having lost to SA 11 times will have no bearing on tonights result. I also believe that Argentina's pack is stronger than SA's.

It'll be a great game though.
