I need to reassess my England vs Australia prediction in light of team announcement:

England 16 - Australia 10, Farrell to receive a red card

Semi-final time.

I have to pick NZ over England as a matter of national pride. I think it is close though. The All Blacks are on a 6 year, 6 match winning streak but only one of those was in the past 4 years. That match we only won by 1 point. England scored 2 tries to 1 gaining a 15-0 lead, and had a 3rd on 76 minutes ruled out by the TMO for an offside charge down. These are the top 2 sides in the world at the moment.

SA to beat Wales. This goes against all logic. Wales are ranked higher and have won 4 straight tests v SA since the RWC2015 QF loss. BUT I feel that SA are peaking at the right time, while Wales are a bit past their best. Wales have never won a semi-final, and I think there is some mental frailty there. Their QF was hardly the dominant performance of a world-beating team.

Eng to beat NZ in a tight thriller.
Wales to have their arses handed them to them on a plate by SA.

NZ 27 23 ENG
SA 25 19 WAL

NZ to score and take lead in last 5 mins
Wales to score a garbage time try to make score respectable

England 15 - NZ 12
South Africa 22 - Wales 15

The first one is mostly on faith, as I cannot pick a winner from the two. I'd say if the game was played 10 times, NZ would win 6 of them.

Head says England need a huge amount of good fortune to win on Saturday
Heart says that we're due some good fortune!

Any results are possible - there are no strong favourites in these semifinals - which makes it fascinating.

However ... predictions:
NZ 23 - 19 ENG
SA 17 - 18 WAL

SA 19 - 21 ENG
NZ 36 - 10 WAL

New Zealand 36 - Wales 10

England to beat SA fairly comfortably.
New Zealand to beat Wales with a blacklash.

Fuck it, I guess I have to do this:

England to beat SA
NZ to beat Wales
