RWC Final: England v Springboks

[Damo]

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

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

But they also seem to be able to pick it up and put it back down going by some of the games in this world cup.

[Victor Meldrew]

Boks playing controlled rugby.

Upping the pace when they need to, checking their options rather than relying on instinct

[sparky]

Gets it. RSA 9 England 6.

[Kirwan]

Nice kick that one
