Yeah I know, but the question was does it really matter if that's in a semi final or in a group game? Everyone knows the final will be SA v NZ and it should be a cracker. How we got there is just history isn't it?

So many people have gone on about the draw and I can't decide if they're right. For me it's produced some genuinely interesting group games (Ireland v SA the pick of the bunch, Scotland disintegrating the funniest) and four brilliant quarter finals. It will also likely produce the two most one...
