[Corné Krige] What an incredible week in World Cup rugby. The competition really was set alight by shocking news and phenomenal games. The shocking news is that New Zealand's match winner Dan Carter will take no further part in the World Cup.

[Corné Krige] Sometimes you need to get through tough times to gain confidence and win tournaments. I think back to the Wales game, which was the first game for the Boks, and I can't help but think that was a very important moment for the Springboks. They came through that game and this weekend they absolutely destroyed a very brave Namibian team.

[Corné Krige] The World Cup is always a great occasion and never seizes to amaze all rugby supporters around the world. The first two rounds were somewhat predictable with the giants of world rugby lined up against the tier-two nations, like Georgia, Namibia and Japan. Even though these teams did very well against their far superior opposition, the outcomes were somewhat predictable.

[Corné Krige] The first round of World Cup games is now over and what an exciting round of rugby it was. There was probably only one runaway game and that was the opening game between host country New Zealand and Tonga, and that scoreline was flattering to the All Blacks. The rest of the games were all really tight affairs and the so-called minnows all ran their more favoured opponents close. The two outstanding performers for me were Romania and Japan.

[Corné Krige] I was in Livingstone on Thursday and switched on the TV for the official send off for the Springboks. I have to admit that I got goosebumps when I saw how many people had turned out to show their support for the Boks. I have always been proud to be South African, but that amount of support really took my patriotism to another level. I tried to remember what our farewell was like in 2003 and my memories were very vague. This confirms my suspicion that it was nothing like what we saw last Thursday in Sandton.

[Corné Krige] It's hard to believe that it is four years since we won our second World Cup in France. So much has happened since then and rugby has changed dramatically. This fact was evident on Saturday when the All Blacks played the last game of the Tri-Nations. This also happened to be the first game in which you can really say that both sides were at full strength. What a phenomenal game it turned out to be and it was a sign of the quality of rugby we can expect at the World Cup in two weeks time.

[Corné Krige] After three consecutive losses the Springboks were under pressure to pull off a win in their last game of the Tri-Nations. Port Elizabeth, The Friendly City, played host and boy did it deliver. The National Anthem was sung with unbelievable passion and probably laid the foundation for a fantastic win.

[Corné Krige] The "A Team" had a saying, which was: "I love it when a plan comes together." For 50 minutes on Saturday I think that Peter de Villiers was saying that exact phrase to himself. The older, and most experienced Springbok side ever to grace our fields, came out of the blocks at a blistering pace and put the Aussies under major pressure.

[Corné Krige] The game between New Zealand and Australia was touted as a possible forerunner of the World Cup Final due to happen on 22 October. New Zealand and Australia seem like two genuine title contenders and, after they had both demolished the Springboks, this match would be a real indication of whether New Zealand could handle the pressure of playing and winning a World Cup on home soil.
