Commiserations to the England supporters on the Fern.
Congrats to the South African fans.Not unhappy that we don't get to see England's endless kicking in the Final.
As opposed to SA’s fluid running rugby?

England did so much right then blew it

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.

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.

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

Ref need shooting. That last penalty was a joke.
If Farrell had kept his mouth shut that call would not have mattered, just saying.
Very true

So much better than I expected us to be, they gave me hope and it hurts now but I’m proud of how they muscled up and turned up. Right now feel hard done by but we had plenty of opportunities not to shoot ourselves in the foot.
Congrats to SA, they find a way. They’ll be hard to beat but they didn’t look the monster pack they have done and I think NZ have at least a 50:50 chance

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.
