    As for Sinkcler and Itoje not wearing their medals: I have no problem with that. They're young men who just lost the biggest game of their lives. They were hurting, but tomorrow they'll look back and appreciate what they learned.

    That Farrell cock didn’t even have the decency to congratulate SA.

    "Credit to South Africa, they were very good today"

    Farrell is taking some shit in this thread, but apart from his shoulder tackles that WR let him get away with and the fact he's English he doesn't seem like that bad a bloke.

    Was pleased it was him that got fleeced by Kolbe though.

    Fair point - they MAY learn from this. Or they may go back to the drudge that is English Premier Rugby and be feted stars, dominating against SH castoffs 😉

    Either way, both are young enough to go around again, whoever the coach is in 2023, and will have more experience and hopefully a tick more humility.

    Would only have been made more perfect if he got a red card for a shoulder.

    So after what happened to the ruck rules after Italy schooled England there, do we see scrum infringements changing to no more than a free kick?

    Watching replay. Man England played poorly. So that's us and Eng fans left with a huge wtf as our teams bowed out so limply.

    And yes, you can have a game where one team plays poorly without that denigrating the winner.

    @Nepia think most people thought it was a great response to the Haka, except WR, although maybe they did cos they made a few extra ¥¥¥¥ for the piss up to help developing nations

    I don't think England were that poor. They probably would have been leading after 60 minutes if not for the scrum (and who knows what would have happened from there).

    Despite the disappointment re AB's v England I thoroughly enjoyed this RWC. Was a roller coaster ride emotions wise, and great to see Japan do so well. However I have to be honest that my view wouldn't have been so chirpy if the Poms had won the 2nd final. Am looking forward to the next stage for coaches and teams out of the ashes of this comp. France in 2023 is a tempting proposition re a final trip OS to support our boys (and the Brave Blossoms).

    Ford replaced, good choice by Eddie.

    With hindsight (and as I thought at time) no. Farrell is man to have when closing out a lead. NOT when needing a try. Ford Tuilagi is quite a useful combo.

    Pollard doesn't have the range for a super long goal kick.

    They need a Jordie Barrett

    Francois Steyn has that range.

    Second pass forward I think??

    That was the view of many.

    Aaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaa!

    What a fucking player!

    Was at game and Kolbe is like a small bloody 15 year old. Next to Snyman he looks like his son!

    Knee high to a grasshopper as my old man would say.

    What a player!!

    I still think it looked forward from the hands, but probably not enough to overturn. I haven’t rewatched the game yet though.
