Second pass forward I think??
That was the view of many.
I still think it looked forward from the hands, but probably not enough to overturn. I haven’t rewatched the game yet though.
Watching on TV I thought it looked forward. I think it wasn't overturned because Garces told the TMO it was a try? Either way I am glad it did not decide the final

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.
My comparison is getting a silver at the olympics. Would be all sorts of shit thrown at someone that refused to have their silver medal put around their neck or to rip it off straight away.
See the Olympics are respected as the pinnacle. What Itoje and Sinkcler did was disrespect the very competition they were aiming to claim glory from. 'If we don't win it then it is shit' was the message they gave.
Sport means sucking up your disappointments as well as revelling in successes. It also means respecting the oppositions achievements.
Petulant cocks, both of them. -

They only showed the one angle.
This was the time for Ben Skeen to shine and he didn't come through. I thought it was forward live, and on the replay they showed.
I would have been happy to be corrected by another angle but they didn't show another one.

TBH after the shocker on Kerevi and some of the other shit he pulled, I wouldn't be surprised if he was told to get back in his box, where the refs put their yellow cards after pool play

As I've said elsewhere the side on looked backwards.

@gt12 SA first team to win after losing a game too.
Also are they the first TRC/Tri-Nations and RWC winner in same year or was that just us not able to win both?

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.
But HE SMIRKED AT OUR HAKA - REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dislike him for faking being injured by a palm in the face. Very similar to the Brazilian nob many moons ago.

Interesting stat.
Edit:
Link not working, but anyway it shows that no team has ever won the WC after knocking out the ABs. At least we are the kiss of death.
Except Aussie in 1991.
Ha ha!
Edit: they said in the professional era.

And another interesting piece of trivia, Francois Steyn is the only player to win two world cups over a period of 12 years, both against England
Didn’t Os du Randt do that too?
Os won his first against us, second against England
