Well the tournament is over,
Forty eight matches played
In the rugby world cup,
And I have seen every one,
Every one of them.
There were both good and poor,
Good and poor games
And I watched them all.
South Africa won,
They beat New Zealand in the final.
But it was so strange
That in the quarter final,
The semi-final,
And the final,
South Africa won them all,
Won them all by one point,
Showing how close the games were.
Looking back though
There was one match,
One match that was the best,
The best I have ever seen
In my long life watching rugby.
South Africa beat France,
Beat them in the quarter final,
Beat them twenty nine to twenty eight.
It was such a brilliant game
And may never be surpassed,
But maybe in another four years
When the tournament starts again
There may be a match,
A match as good as ,
Or better than,
Better than that glorious game.
