The English fans booing Garces at the medal ceremony can just fuck off. He is shit for all teams he refs. He is indiscriminately shite.

ITV Commentator: It's been a disappointment for Northern Hemisphere rugby and that won't just be felt in England.

England and their arrogant coach celebrated beating the All Blacks like it was VE day. Hubris.
Nemesis comes in the form of the Springboks.
What a load of rubbish.
Most of the English fans are great. I was thinking about some of the rubbish that has been in the UK media this week.
As with most countries, the real rugby people are wonderful. Sadly, it’s the bandwagon jumpers, bringing their petty footballing fan culture, that ruin it for everyone. England, quite naturally given the size of their population just tend to have more than most
This is the sort of shit that I hate about rugby in this country - the people who put themselves on a pedestal because the like rugby. Or call people “rugby guys” like it’s some sort of compliment.
It’s a sport. If you’re a piston wristed gibbon, you’re a piston wristed gibbon.
Most people in this world are good people. Rugby has no higher ratio of good guys than any other sport - despite what the rugby guys will tell you.

Spot on
Clive Woodward’s classless comments sums up why it’s so hard for Wales fans to support England
Ifan Morgan Jones The insistence that Welsh fans support England when they get further at a Football or Rugby World Cup has always struck me as an odd one. Wales and England are rivals in sport. Geographic proximity in sport doesn’t mean support like each other – quite the opposite in fact. No one...

Amazing how England struggle to make metres against a non-passive defence... 🤷♂️
Yes, Boks advanced 5m before tackle so that even if English made a metre or two in contact the net effect was losing ground.

This is the worst scrum I've seen in international rugby for years
Malherbe exposing Vunipola's fragility which has been there for years. Owen must be enjoying.

@sparky Yes. To you rugby tragics, trench warfare is great. For 80% of the viewing public, they want to see ball movement, sweeping backline moves and tries.
Well, Rugby has at least one new fan:
-
Watching how the Boks beat England makes me think that the biggest work for the next All Blacks coach will be how to change a passive defence into a rush defence. Every team on this earth does not know how to cope with the latter. One of the reasons why the All Blacks lost last week was their incapacity to cope with the aggressive English defence. The same happened today to the Poms.
-
Congratulations Boks, so happy for you, Siya such a humble guy , impossible to dislike him.
Also kind of nice that ABs did beat them at this years World Cup.
Hopefully this puts an end to all the fingerpointing and blame from some AB fans, every game is different. I think England played their final last week, and unfortunately we had our two finals against SA and Ireland, maybe even the Bled as well, super hard to lift that many times in a few weeks. Boks timed their run beautifully.

Funny... All over the news here about the monster South African forwards. Didn't I see a stat flash up to show England pack at 920 vs 900?
I don't think the Boks weights are accurate.
Going by wikipedia weights they say 937kg. Which seems more accurate.
Also had 6 forwards on the bench.
