Congrats England. Great game to watch.

Worst game ever to watch in an English pub.
People cheering penalty kicks, opposition penalty kick misses, and ultimately... a TMO call.
Just sums up why you can't support these fluffybunnies even if they were playing a team of my worst enemies.It’s why I stayed at home to watch. Couldn’t bear putting up with a bunch of cocks with the collars on their polo shirts turned up

Watched it in my local with a bunch of English/SApeople. Very enjoyable.

In the City we have a much higher class of english rugby supporter boor.
Drunk by 20m mark, yelling about shit/rules/tactics they clearly don't understand. -

Boom-tish

SA fans will be spewing at the last decision but they only have themselves to blame, they should have put that game to bed way before then.
England are going to do everything they can to slow the game down against us, could get very niggly.

@no-quarter Yeah. Couldn't believe SA went for the 5 metre lineout twice when Itoje was in the bin. They already had the superior scrum against eight English forwards, they would have easily have had a pushover or a penalty try against seven. And no droppie in the last minute of play as well. Did they not remember how we stuffed things up in Wellington?

Regardless of their failings for 79 or so minutes, they were robbed.

If that was the 20th minute Farrell would have gone for 10.
Gardner doesn't have the stones.
Stand him down

@mikethesnow Or a flat red. I can't see a lot of difference between that and what SBW rightly got sent off against the Lions for and banned several weeks.

@mikethesnow They were robbed of a chance to win the game but Polard still had to kick a difficult goal so it was by no means guaranteed.

That is true.
Terrible decision nonetheless.
And good old BBC England, highlights of the match on the news and no mention of the controversy at the death.
