RWC Final: England v Springboks
-
Interesting stat.
Edit (and another edit):
Link not working, but anyway it shows that in the professional era no team has ever won the WC after knocking out the ABs. At least we are the kiss of death.

That Farrell cock didn’t even have the decency to congratulate SA.
"Credit to South Africa, they were very good today"
Farrell is taking some shit in this thread, but apart from his shoulder tackles that WR let him get away with and the fact he's English he doesn't seem like that bad a bloke.
But HE SMIRKED AT OUR HAKA - REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dislike him for faking being injured by a palm in the face. Very similar to the Brazilian nob many moons ago.

And another interesting piece of trivia, Francois Steyn is the only player to win two world cups over a period of 12 years, both against England

@canefan oh shit I could stand corrected, he was around foe a long time so highly possible
-
@Duluth said in RWC Final: England v Springboks:
He did win 12 years apart. Wasn’t sure if I was misreading your post
Steyn won in 2007 and 2019 both against England. Os win his first against us and the second against England. So he doesn't apply to your trivia tidbit

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.

If you haven't seen the post match press conference with the Boks it is well worth a watch. Full credit to both men and the Bok team as a whole, pure class. Rassie had a story they all bought into, much like how Razor does with the Crusaders.

@chimoaus I love that bit when he said they weren't under pressure, pressure was not having a job or ending up dead. Like some at home. Way to put it into perspective

Must admit almost bought a tear to my eye when he was saying these things and the kind words he had for Kolisi. Even the look of contentment on his face in between questions was pure.
