Battle for Bronze

Just two games to go now. Boo hoo.

Third place is on offer tonight as the Saffas take on the Pumas. It's another clash of styles as we'll watch the Boks rumble it up and chase du Preez's box kicks hoping for a penalty they can kick at goal. Same as last week against us then...

Meanwhile in the other corner, it's the darlings of the world cup (ok, the other darlings - Japan unfortunately went home early), Argentina. Their dazzling displays of backline virtuosity have been beautiful to watch. Have they got one more game left in them? Or has last week's disappointment rendered them useless and just wanting to go home?

Hopefully ImHoff, Cordero, Sanchez and Hernandes are still motivated by a bronze medal (?) and we can have one more victory for the beautiful game. Those stats from Cordero are impressive .... 
454 metres gained, 25 defenders beaten, 16 carries over the gainline.

It's too tense to write about the big game tomorrow...but we'll give it a crack in the morning.
