England gave SA a scare but in the end the expected team won. And the NZ v Argentina was certainly a dud.
Yeah, the quarters were exciting but you'd hope that the excited would build to the final. Not go down and then back up.
If the Ireland v NZ and the France v SS games were the semi-final match ups, even with the same outcome, the narrative for the final would be different
