South Africa vs New Zealand - RWC 2015 Semi-Final Prediction

The first game of the all Southern-Hemisphere semi-finals is, given the nature of this World Cup so far, going to be a thrilling encounter. The best in the world come up against a side that lost their first game of the tournament to Japan, and yet we know it will be a hard-fought and close contest, as most South Africa vs New Zealand games are. The last three matches between the two sides have come within 10 poins, South Africa winning one of them, and on neutral ground in what is likely to be slightly favourable to the South Africans, you can be sure of a very close match. South Africa have had this match in their sights for 3 years, and both teams know almost everything about the other. It will be unforgettable.
