RWC Final: England v Springboks

[No Quarter]

Yup, played their final a week early.

Not to take away from SA, they've been fantastic. Ground them into the dust and then opened the game up - very AB like (when we are at our best that is)

[sparky]

England and their arrogant coach celebrated beating the All Blacks like it was VE day. Hubris.

Nemesis comes in the form of the Springboks.

@Anonymous no need for that.

What a load of rubbish.

[Billy Tell]

Commiserations to the English fans on the forum who I must say are a great bunch.

[Victor Meldrew]

Wonder if all the long-lost English friends who called me last Saturday to ask if I saw the game are waiting by the phone...

Biggest final win?

Think us against Frogs 35-12 in 99?

But that is under threat

Before the wc , I thought it was between us and the boks except I thought it would be the team that won the pool

[chimoaus]

Well done Rassie and the Boks, showed us all how it’s done. You start up front and win that battle first.

He wasn’t a dick when he did, let’s not be dicks for someone else’s win.

Rubbish. They won the games that counted. Worth world champions.

[Kirwan]

Goes to show back to back performances are tough. We couldn’t back up our Irish win, and England had the same problem

[Toddy]

@geebee I'm sure the Boks won't sleep because of that
