But as a bit of light relief from the excitement and pressure of the semi-finals , I am giving you my nominations for the very special 'Donald Trump Bad Hair' award.
In no particular order.....
1. M'a Nonu - The All Blacks
Looking bizarrely as if he's dreadlocked his ear hair, M'a is more NoNo than Nonu
2. Berrick Barnes
Staying downunder, my next nominee is Jedward-in-Training Berrick Barnes. (How long is that man's neck?)
3. Zane Kirchner - Bokke
Zane is shocked to discover just how daft his hair is....
4. Jerry Flannery - Ireland
Hailing from the West of Ireland, a place we all love. It's just like England 40 years ago.... .including the hair styles apparently
5. Toby Faletau - Wales
Toby from Tonga (that well known suburb of Cardiff) loves his big hair. Not sure I do though
6. Martin Castrogiovanni - Italy
Very nearly a contender for the Facial Hair of Shame award, no bad hair award would be complete without the hirsute Mr Castrogiovanni's barnet, which would only be collar length if he actually had a neck
7. Eric Fry - USA
Just when you thought the Bobby Charlton comb-over was dead and gone, along comes Eric to bring it to the next generation
8. Ippei Asada - Japan
Poor Ippei looks as if his hair has been stuck on as an afterthought, or possibly cut out of a magazine and popped on a photo of him
9. Census Johnston - Samoa
The South Seas Island teams provided rich pickings for the bad hair awards but one of my favourites is Census Johnston - and what a faaabulous name too! It might have looked OK on Michael Bolton in the 19802 but come on Census, this is the 21st Century
10. Andrey Garbuzov - Russia
Showing off the Boris Karloff look to it's greatest effect, Andrey is something of a trend setter in Krasnoyarsk. (That's in Siberia in case you were wondering)
So, who get's you vote?
PS. Dear IRB, it's me again, using you photos without permission. Just a little reminder that my penalty is to have the All Blacks go a Haka in my lounge. Don't forget now......... please

Ooh, I do like your Rugby 'awards'! My vote for the Donald Trump bad hair award goes to... Jerry Flannery, closely followed by Eric Fry and Andrey Garbuzov. I think. It was very hard to choose between such fantastic examples!
Andrey Garbuzov. Definitely. Looks like he could audition for a part in The Addams family. Does one have to be unsuitably hirsute to play rugby?
Garbuzov....where's the bolt in the neck?
What a tournament!
Scotland out, South Africa choking again...
If NZ let me down in the final I'll be doing a haka in their lounges...and that'll learn 'em!
A wee bit of a smile was brought upon my face by the oddnesses of those hairstyles, but the last one...well, he is probably quite a pussycat of a person, but crikey, that face does look grim. Best one: No 7. Looks like a naughty boy!
