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.

Fair call

All the English pundits are talking about is Sinckler going off.
No mention of the Boks players being subbed.

They lost 2 inside the first 10, the others had to tough it out because any substitution strategy went out the window right then

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
Or they read their own press and were underdone

@kiwiinmelb they had a way easier run. We ll smack them over next year
Sheesh dude, leave it out of the match thread.
@Nepia seeing as you are barking orders from Australia,ill give you a quick summary of what I thought of the game. It was a shit advertisement for rugby,luckily Japs don't know the game and are easily pleased. Filled with box kicking and kicking penalties interspersed with big forwards running one out. Only time it got good was when Kolbe had his hands on the ball and that was twice in 80 mins. The springbok 13 who is usually useless had the best game ive seen him play. The scrum war where the Boks gained the majority of their points was mystifying as it seemed the Poms had the upperhand on a few occasions as well. All in all,running rugby wasn't seen tonight. Neither team knows complexity nor subtlety with ball in hand.

England and their arrogant coach celebrated beating the All Blacks like it was VE day. Hubris.
Nemesis comes in the form of the Springboks.
What a load of rubbish.
Most of the English fans are great. I was thinking about some of the rubbish that has been in the UK media this week.

As with most countries, the real rugby people are wonderful. Sadly, it’s the bandwagon jumpers, bringing their petty footballing fan culture, that ruin it for everyone. England, quite naturally given the size of their population just tend to have more than most
