Springboks to Steal Glory
England will have to face the Sprinboks once agan in the French, Stade De France stadium but this time it will be a match for more than just a good reputation.
South Africa, otherwise known as the Springboks are the favourites to win this year's Rugby World Cup. After having demolished the morality of the Argentenians with a 37-13 victory they are getting ready to take the cup to the wild.
England on the other hand have not had such a comfortable cruise to the final. They were torn apart on their previous encounter with the score 36-0, and struggled to beat their rivals, France. However the confidence of all players has remained on a high and the fans are following right behind them.
A rush for tickets for this final has already begun and it has been reported that huge amount of tickets have been booked. The prices of the tickets has also been said to rise to an amount to €2000.The Springboks also have their wild fans following. South Africa are detrmined to win the cup for the very first time and hope to do so on Saturday. Similarly England manager, Brian Ashton who will be recieving an extension to his contract after the world cup believes that his side can create history and return the cup back home for a secong consecutive time.
Both sides have quality players who are all capable of playing under tense conditions. One to watch is Brian Habana of South Africa who has extraordinary pace. However we have the famous fly half, Johnny Wilkinson who saved England the last world cup. Can he save them once more? Perhaps the Sprinboks have had too much of the wild? England was the dark horse of the competition last time. Anything is possible.
