RWC Final: England v Springboks

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

England had a far easier ride up to the NZ match

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

This from Matt Dawson:
"I don't know where this has come from. It's come from the gods. Their defensive line, their line speed, their discipline, their energy, has been simply fantastic. England have no answer. An amazing performance from a Springbok team who everybody wrote off."
Only a disrespectful prick who knows bugger-all about Rugby would ever write the Boks off.

Oh well. that's rugby done for a while. Time to climb back up onto the Black Caps bandwagon and hang on for dear life.
