@Bones said in RWC SF: England v Springboks:
England panicked. Young team but they should have won from there. Great game
Young team?!
EDIT: Now not sure if this is sarcasm. I’m drunk and emotional.

I'm no Borthwick but he seemed to be making note of it.

You don’t have his sparkling repartee.

Was stupid to select reserves props who can't scrum against a team like SA, and in a game like this where there were plenty of stoppages, there was no need to bring them on so early. Borthwick fucked up.

We don’t have any props who can scrummage! Why do you think dads army were there in the first place. Blame the Premiership not the coach

Then why replace the starters so early? It's not like they weren't having rest breaks every 5 minutes.

Because the guys who had been on for 55 mins got folded in half after the Boks changed their front row

Including "that" Mitchell kick after having it on a string for 50 minutes

Why are people complaining about the try?
I couldn't see anything wrong with it.
Shame England didn't win as I doubt they would have any chance against the All Blacks.
Because the runner off the back of the lineoit was tackled to the ground and got up and went again without releasing
But was he held?
Yes! He bounced off the first tackler but Vunipola completed it, brought him to ground and then he stood up

Yes!
Just looked. Yes he was, but it's unclear to me what he did after that, there's no clear replay of what happened. It certainly looked real-time as if he got up, but potentially just rolled over. Would like to see that from the sideline camera.
I understand your disappointment though @Dodge

Another ridiculous replacement.

What a crap match. A replay of the 2007 final. SA only have 2 tactics: high balls and scrum penalties.

@taniwharugby gold. England stake another commonwealth claim

To be fair, it doesn’t matter what he did after that. He was tackled, got up, went for the line and was hit again. Whether it made any difference is irrelevant to how obvious a penalty it was

Just watched delay. England had that. The starting props will want to execute their replacements. All that insane commitment for nothing.

Did BOK become obsessed with scrums at the end. Evidence on X that says yes

To be fair to BOK, Reynal gave most of them from the far side which is why BOK went over

I think he was flung over by the tackler, so don't agree from that view
