Supporting the South African rugby team. Aren't we (the human race) all supposed to have came from Africa at one point?

I am a South African and I think that Onestep must go and do some research about where the Springbok players were born.
I think South Africa is the better team and has a better chance of winning - GO THE BOKKE

No you're not being Anti-English. On the form card SA is stronger and had beaten England during the preliminaries. But then a final is a FINAL....the atmosphere is different and in terms of being able to cope with all the nervousness, the Brits are better of than SA. In any case going into the game as underdogs in this case has a clear advantage with Johnny and the Brits....cmon Johnny....go johnny go!

I'm not English, but will be supporting them against a non-British team. I would be ashamed to be Scottish though, with all the jealousy-inspired, anti-English comments (not from everyone though!) that are coming out Shoulders and chips remind me of a very apt description of the Jocks!!
I will be proud if a British country is the first to ever have won World Cups in Rugby and football - even, in the VERY unlikely event that it were to be Scotland!!

Of course you can support whoever you want. Elliot97 is a bit off saying to look at your history as to why the Scottish hate the English - 'cos if you start doing that then the English will start hating the Scandinavians because of the viking invasion... and of course the Romans ..... but being of Irish descent should I also hate the Moors? Possibly time for Elliot97 to just let it go......after all, we have a bit of a chequered history!!

No support who you want - as others have said its only a game.
Support the team that plays the best rugby!

I would refute that statement, anyway, it doesnt have much bearing on us in 2007. You can, of course, support who you want but supporting SA just because we all apparently were African at one time is a bit feeble.
I am English, will support MY country but, I fear we will lose to SA.

Being Scottish i have to say you are absolutly making the right decision to support SA!! But it is up to you. You're not being Anti-English if you aren't supporting them! I was supporting New Zealand when they were playing Scotland and that doesn't make me Anti-Scottish! I am proud of Scotland but i knew they weren't going to wina against New Zealand!

The strange thing is that most of the RSA team didn't originate in Africa!

The good thing about spectator sports is that it doesn't really matter WHO you support. Just pick a team, watch the game, get involved and enjoy it.
