Half time at Hertha, still 0-0.

Tight head gets pressure on both shoulders, so is more balanced but tougher. Loosehead has more flexibility. As a former flanker I can see no good reason to play anywhere in the front row.

New Zealand 17 - 0 South Africa, 22 minutes in.

South Africa and New Zealand have a shot at the tournament no matter what happens today, but they need to win their own match in a few hours, they need New Zealand to draw or lose this match, and they need New Zealand not to score two bonus points. Furthermore, if either New Zealand or South Africa scores a bonus point, Australia must also score one.

New Zealand 43 - 0 South Africa, 13 minutes to go.

South Africa could still win, they just have to score seven times in thirteen minutes.

New Zealand 57 - 0 South Africa, final.

Australia is now eliminated. Argentina had already been eliminated, so it's between New Zealand and South Africa now.

The Australia - Argentina match in a few minutes is now irrelevant to the outcome of the tournament, as is the outcome of the Argentina - Australia match three weeks from now.

Scenarios in which South Africa wins the tournament:

(1) South Africa defeats Australia two weeks from now, and New Zealand three weeks from now. New Zealand loses to Argentina two weeks from now. South Africa scores more bonus points than New Zealand, or scores the same number of bonus points, and wins on the third, fourth, or fifth tie-breaking criterion (overall points scored, points scored against the tied teams, or overall tries scored).

(2) South Africa defeats Australia two weeks from now, and New Zealand three weeks from now. New Zealand draws with Argentina two weeks from now. South Africa scores a bonus point in each match, New Zealand does not score a bonus point in either match, and South Africa wins on the third, fourth, or fifth tie-breaking criterion.

Any other scenario ends with New Zealand winning the tournament.

TSG Hoffenheim 1 - 1 Hertha BSC
SpVgg Greuther Fürth 3 - 1 Fortuna Düsseldorf

Not too bad, cosnidering Hertha were away to a CL qualifier and Bayern vanquisher, but we are pulling away from the 50% quota quite rapidly:
Played 37, won 16, Drawn 9, Lost 12.
