[OomStruisbaai]

Which team will you support in the final and why.

[Ymx]

It’s Poll Oom

[laurent]

No Gavin Henson ?

[sockwithaticket]

I fear what back to back trophies would do to those Saffas who are already insufferable, so I guess New Zealand. It's a bit boring to see either of these sides collect the trophy again tbh.


Note I have been specific and not generalised all South African fans, if you find yourself irked by that above description you may want to consider how it is you support your nation.

Pretty much a toss up for me, but I went Boks. I like the way each team plays the game, and if I had my way we’d try to emulate the ABs (lol) more than the Boks, but I can relate more to the South African style if that makes sense.

Also, I’ve never been but I get vibes like South Africa is like a more exotic, Dutch-speaking Texas, at least among the rugby base. The team itself is bunch of big hairy hicks who look like they enjoy grilled meat and hunting, you got some black guys here and there for good measure…put aside the green shirts (and talent) and they look downright American.

I like seeing this final though (considering we’re not getting a new name on the trophy anyway), and it’s only fair that they’re #1 and #2 all time in Cup wins however things shake out on Saturday.

[Fonz]

Also, if SA wins, they will not only have the most titles, but also will have won half of the world cups they’ve competed in…does this make them the new spiritual guardians?

Very impressive at any rate.

[robmatic]

I went ABs but it was more marginal than it would have been in the past and I wouldn't mind SA winning either. Courtesy of the URC, I've been getting a lot more exposure to SA rugby recently and I appreciate it more now.

[sefton]

The All Blacks, because watching the Boks makes me feel like I’m watching England but in an alternate universe where we are a bit bigger, a bit faster, a bit stronger and didn’t have Farrell and Borthwick nailed on until the next World Cup.

[Tichtheid]

Four years ago the Bok backline didn't get the credit it deserved, it was all about the pack and their replacements. For me SA were all about de Allende, Am, Kolbe and Mapimpi, they were outstanding.

This time around their backline is still very good.

As a prop first, rugby fan second and Scotland fan third, I was almost standing and applauding in front of my tv at what Ox did to England in the semi final, it was nothing short of magnificent.

I like how New Zealand play the game, they've been the benchmark for so long and in changing the way the game is played too, for the better.


I'm thoroughly neutral on this

Oh ffs. What more do I need to do ?!!

[Paddington Bear]

ABs but honestly not that interested. Both would be very worthy winners, but meh. Rugby probably takes a back seat for a couple of weeks then I’ll get stuck into the Prem

[Chrysoprase]

As long as the match is more entertaining than those semi finals were, I don't really mind either way.

I voted ABs because I still haven't forgiven the Boks for turning the last Lions tour into a drudge fest.

You know there were two teams on the field for each test?

Dude....I will gladly take a 6 points to 5 victory if we win the RWC.......no-one will care about the match itself....just the result

England fans will care. Champagne Rugby is very important to them.

Given the vast majority of the comments I think we have to be a little suspicious of how many “neutrals” have voted for SA

[OomStruisbaai]

As creator of the pole, I change the rule after making 10 votes for my beloved Springbokke. Fuck know what is not to like about the way we play our rugby.

You’re prerogative my friend.

All a little predictable mind you.

“No one loves us, we don’t care! Well maybe a bit. Quick everyone vote, we are losing!!”

You are trying too hard, most of us don't mind losing popular opinion on a rugby site. We're more about how we feel about the Boks than how you feel about the Boks, if that makes sense to you.

Boet honestly, we are Saffers. There is not much to shout about.

The poll was only for SA posters to fill in??

[Biffer]

Could’ve done with a third option, maybe a meteor strikes the stadium.

[Enzedder]

No Gavin Henson ?

Didn't qualify.

[Sards]

Loving all the AB support....

You do realise this makes the ABs the underdogs.....everyone loves an underdog

So, sitting on the fence, gotcha, hopefully both teams can turn in a good game for you

[PornDog]

ABs, because Rassie

Is the correct answer - can't stand that Wyd Kant!

So who are the 12 who should be outed as a coño?

[Sandstorm]

Sturghino, Nieg, C69, DAC and 8 Saffers.

[OomStruisbaai]

All Blacks run away with this.
