Argentina v New Zealand - Prediction: Argentina 15 - 38 New Zealand. I don't see this going well for Los Pumas. The only team that can beat NZ in this match is NZ themselves.

England v South Africa - Prediction: England 24 - 30 South Africa. England survived on the boot of Owen Farrell. A more disciplined team in ZA should reduce the kicking chances for the England squad. South Africa is so deep with talent they should wear down the English. The scrum advantage should fall to the Springboks. The Lions will have to work in the air to defend prolific box kicking from the South African scrum half (de Klerk deserves the start after his inspired substitute performance in the quarterfinal). Could be a nervy first half but the Bok's squad depth should allow them to pull free in the second half.
Here's hoping the rugby does the talking and not the officiating.

Distressingly, they have a history of doing exactly that.
