The scoreboard is keeping things interesting, and if I had a team in this I'd be on the edge of my seat.
But from a neutral point of view, it is about everything that is wrong with rugby in one game.Rugby like it or not is competing for the peoples time re entertainment. That was everything that is wrong with rugby. Teams that don’t want to play with the ball. Endless kicking. Close and tense but just a shit game.
Sorry you just don't get it
I get close rugby. As entertainment this game gave very little opportunity for the players to show a wide range of skills. What I want to see is players running with the ball in hand. I think most people would.

In some ways it good that England lost. Because if teams win it all that play like England do, I would almost stop watching rugby.

Why are people complaining about the try?
I couldn't see anything wrong with it.
Shame England didn't win as I doubt they would have any chance against the All Blacks.
Because the runner off the back of the lineoit was tackled to the ground and got up and went again without releasing

Does BOK hate the ABs? Some very favourable calls to SA at the end, just like last week. We would have definitely preferred to play the English.
Really? I don’t think they care who they play. Each has its challenges and opportunities.
Even though I was going for England, as a fan I’m liking the fact we have a chance to play the Boks. Time to avenge 95.

Bokke player picked it up in front of his player who touched it too before that.

Kudos to SA. Really have the players and tactic for the big ones.
We should spend all week moaning about the water carriers.
I liked when BOK said next waterboys that come on ,I will penalise, been waiting for a ref to say that for a long time, only thing is should of said it earlier (haftime?)
I will add they shouldn't be on at all, just a couple of medics wgen there an injury. -

@akan004 maybe, but I'd prefer to play SA than France
True, but fuck we could have played England. I don't think it's a good idea to have Williams and Newell on the bench, we need the best scrummagers in the team for this one.

Ref need shooting. That last penalty was a joke.
Dallaglio was pointing out that BOK had given a warning and let one go for the same offense before penalizing England.

England turned up. English fans should be proud of the effort. Performance deserved a better ending, but Boks know how to score more points than other teams even when playing worse than them.
Second week in a row they’ve done it whilst not being the better team on the day. Champion mentality.
