Ah man something about the poms reaction doesn't sit well. They just look like sore losers. None of them even want to wear their medals. Kinda feels disrespectful.

Been there for a while, sadly. Seemed to grow under Woodwhinge.
MJ & Lancaster in particular made great strides in improving that culture but it's gone downhill under Jones.
I fucking loathe attitude like that. Not what the game is about

My only wish moving forward is..please World Rugby, take a leaf out of what we are seeing with the Tongan Rugby League team..
Relax these pathetic eligibility rules...would it not be great to see 3 strong , competitive pacific island teams at a RWC.. -

No unbeaten team in the tournament is a reflection of how close it was this time around. Been a fantastic World Cup.

SA got some luck in the draw that allowed them some easier lead up knockout games (no slight, that's tournament sport). They used all of the powder they were able to keep dry tonight, and were far too good

Reinforces the idea that it's very hard to string 2 or 3 top performances together versus quality opposition

It was my birthday couple of days ago and saved the "celebrations" for tonight, with fireworks ready too. No win and its pissing down with rain and I have a foook load of cooking to do. I feel like I've been mugged off well and truly.

Eddie coping well with some crap questions.
David Flatman was spot on.
Served him tough but legitimate questions.

ITV bloke: Why did you lose?
Eddie: we lost because the South Africans played very well tonight. We tried extremely hard. Couldn't get on the front foot against magnificent defence. Congratulations South Africa.
ITV interviewer: Do you view this campaign as a disappointment?
Eddie: Not the time for reviews tonight. My players are hurting and my thoughts are with them.
ITV interviewer: Did you lose because your bus was late?
Eddie (looking pissed off by now): No excuses from us. No excuses. Commiserations to our fans. Congratulations South Afircam

Either way they couldn't maintain the required intensity to the end
