Iam obviously positive, BUT then again, Argentina have played like demons lately.
I know the IRB world rankings usually mean sweet fuck all, but hey, if we are 3rd and argentina are 4th, that makes me go,
I would love to see us in the final against England, just so we can RAPE them again! I know we might not, but it just makes my dreams better that way, OK?
rugbyworldcup dot com says that our front rows are evenly matched:
QUOTE
PARIS, 14 October - South Africa and Argentina both pride themselves on achieving dominance at scrum time.
Indeed, the Pumas are so infatuated with the set-piece, they have a nickname for their version of it; the 'Bajadira', which loosely translates as the eight working as a unit to bring the opposing scrum down.
When you think Springboks and Argentina front rows, you think of hulking brutes, one group reared on biltong from the high veldt, the other on immense slabs of beef from the Pampas (plains) that skirt Buenos Aires.
That stereotype appears to fit the bill when you consider the front rows that will confront each other at Stade de France in Sunday’s semi-final.
The South African trio of Os du Randt, John Smit and CJ van der Linde collectively weigh in at an imposing 363kg, 22kg heavier than their opponents, and are all gnarled veterans of the tough school that is international front-row play.

But I have to disagree! I mean come on! I think we will dominate them there without a doubt!
