No answer.
Outmuscled, outthought, outcoached

Goes to show back to back performances are tough. We couldn’t back up our Irish win, and England had the same problem
I think having an easy quarter and possibly semi is a massive help
Our mistake was beating the Boks in the first game.
Oh well, thems the breaks sometimes. They were excellent tonight.

Plus I feel less pain than I might have expected. I listened to a BBC Sounds podcast earlier in the week where they were talking about what it would mean to the SA public for Kolisi to lift the trophy, and I thought that whilst I really want an England win, I'm able to live with the Boks as champions.

I'm so sad. Better team won then.
The whole game lacked sexiness.But... there were heaps of scrums?

@Disgusted-of-TW yeah I can understand that. Commiserations

If you think that was your mistake you've learned nothing from your SF loss

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.
The booing at the ground was shite

The ABs would do well to ask the SA physio if she has a sister! (Who is also a physio of course)

@rustycruiser @Billy-Tell @Smuts and all other Saffas:

Seriously, not one nice arse out the lot of them.
Number 20 for SA caught my eye but even then, meh! -

Well done Boks, ruthless stuff tonight. A great final performance.
Commiserations to England, arguably the best team across the competition.
Look forward to the ABs playing you next year.
England had one challenge - superbly met - in the lead up to the Final.
Easy ride and a week off until that point.
