RWC SF: England v Springboks

Commiserations to the England supporters on the Fern.
Congrats to the South Africa.

Not unhappy that we don't get to see England's endless kicking in the Final.

So you don't think the Boks will do the same to us? It has worked against us in the past.

Strength of SA bench front row the difference, dominated the scrum in the second half and earned their favourable interpretation. The try though, fucking hell.

Insane. Couldn’t watch the last few

They should have kicked it long

Ref need shooting. That last penalty was a joke.

If Farrell had kept his mouth shut that call would not have mattered, just saying.

Stargazer

@broughie Not to the same degree.

As opposed to SA’s fluid running rugby?

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.

Kudos to SA. Really have the players and tactic for the big ones.

We should spend all week moaning about the water carriers.

Scrum decisions were the difference in the end. I'd like to see the last one again from a good angle.

Sinkler and Vunipola should have been no where near the squad, let alone the 23. They are low below Test standard these days. Nostalgia picks that bit England in the arse.

Although the two old props were much better than their replacements, and the game changed after that. Vunipola was shit.

To be fair, from above it looked like SA turned in first, from BOK’s view it looked like genge followed him and lifted him - probably would have given the same even if it may not have been right.
