What happened to the southern hemisphere? First Australia goes down to England. And now the All Blacks go down to France.

Talk was of an all southern hemisphere semi-final round. Now there is a northern hemisphere side guaranteed for the final. But what a day of upsets!

Australia have not looked so solid this year, but England was looking much shakier in the group matches. But England brought it home.

Far more incredible was the All Black loss. There is no doubt that the All Blacks have been the form side, but tonight it all went horribly wrong. And France! What determination. What discipline!

The better teams won on the day. But two out of two upset results - What went wrong?

I desperately hope tomorrow isn't a day of upsets too.
