BOK going to penalised water carriers, I hope so

About time. Ref complaining about constant stream of medics coming onto the field. World Rugby needs to sort this cynical cheating shit for good

Neither side minds though. Just boring.

Neither team seem capable of keeping the ball in hand and building the phases.

I wonder what highest phases is, 3?

Maybe. I cannot recall the ball going through the backline past inside centre.

[Dodge]

South Africa dropping on the scrum hit every time. Happened last week.

Hitting down

[Victor Meldrew]

Key period

[Damo]

Scrums are beginning to be decisive now for SA (right or wrong).

[JayCee]

SA looking like us earlier this year when under pressure. Pushing passes, aerial game flakey

[Kirwan]

England defence has been huge

[sparky]

England penalty.

[ACT Crusader]

The ruck work from England has been superb

Similar to the Semi Final in 2019 in that respect.

[Machpants]

3 phases

[His Bobness]

@booboo It confounds me how anyone thinks it’s entertaining. I know the rusted-ons love it it but the game increasingly resembles grid iron. Players too bulky. All about power. No poetry. No finesse

[sparky]

Still 15-6.

[Dodge]

So clearly backwards off daleys hand

It's also dumb rugby from SA when chasing a 9 pt gap to reach the Final

Wet weather rugby is entertaining IMO. More than one style is why rugby is a great game.

Talk to me in 15 mins. For now, please shut up

Scrum penalty to line out maul...
