RWC Final: England v Springboks

England look dangerous at that end of the field

That advantage was ridiculous. Let's keep playing while you lose 20 metres, but 10 phases later go back to the penalty

[Chris B.]

Jaapies playing more rugby than I thought they would.

England getting out-muscled and looking rattled. Having six forwards on the bench could be a masterstroke by Rassie.

Nope there were lots of advantages

Probably lucky just one actual penalty otherwise getting close to a yellow.

You can't award a new advantage until the previous one expires via tactical or territorial advantage to the attacking side

[sparky]

Farrell with the kick. 6-6.

Ref should have called the PK earlier in my view. When it broke down near the sideline was the moment.

[Victor Meldrew]

England should really have scored there. Looked flustered when the ball finally went out wide to the backs.

South African defence was superb, but some of those penalties were cynical ...how good is Marco Vunipola...workrate for Africa

Although it's hard to tell with Jerome

[chimoaus]

So what is the rule re halfbacks hand on ball at a ruck? Do they have to pick it up before u can tackle?

Yes

[MrDenmore]

Total lack of creativity from either team.

Long penalty for Pollard. Edge of his range.
