After the treat that was Saturday's matches, here's two more to keep the couch full!

Can Fiji, everyone's 2nd team it seems, perform the miracle vs an England team that are building and learning to do what it takes and win ugly? England did the drop goal game already in the Velodrome, will we see some more here?

Will the hosts be able to overcome the mighty Springbok defense and keep alive the northern hemisphere hopes? Will SA have brought their kicking boots and can french flair find room to maneuver?

All too close to call imo, the bookies always inflate England: these are going to the 80'!

This match is ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ I came to the only bar I could find leaning pretty neutral, but the unexpectedly large rugby crowd is so lopsided for France I'm cheering with the 4 Spring Boks fans. Of course my Houston Sabercats have a huge contingent of Saffa players, so I might be seeing some of these guys find their way here in a few years!
