Commiserations to the England supporters on the Fern.
Congrats to the South African fans.Not unhappy that we don't get to see England's endless kicking in the Final.
As opposed to SA’s fluid running rugby?

So much better than I expected us to be, they gave me hope and it hurts now but I’m proud of how they muscled up and turned up. Right now feel hard done by but we had plenty of opportunities not to shoot ourselves in the foot.
Congrats to SA, they find a way. They’ll be hard to beat but they didn’t look the monster pack they have done and I think NZ have at least a 50:50 chance

The scoreboard is keeping things interesting, and if I had a team in this I'd be on the edge of my seat.
But from a neutral point of view, it is about everything that is wrong with rugby in one game.Rugby like it or not is competing for the peoples time re entertainment. That was everything that is wrong with rugby. Teams that don’t want to play with the ball. Endless kicking. Close and tense but just a shit game.
Sorry you just don't get it

I get close rugby. As entertainment this game gave very little opportunity for the players to show a wide range of skills. What I want to see is players running with the ball in hand. I think most people would.

In some ways it good that England lost. Because if teams win it all that play like England do, I would almost stop watching rugby.

Does BOK hate the ABs? Some very favourable calls to SA at the end, just like last week. We would have definitely preferred to play the English.
-
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

Really? I don’t think they care who they play. Each has its challenges and opportunities.
Even though I was going for England, as a fan I’m liking the fact we have a chance to play the Boks. Time to avenge 95.

Bokke player picked it up in front of his player who touched it too before that.

Kudos to SA. Really have the players and tactic for the big ones.
We should spend all week moaning about the water carriers.

I liked when BOK said next waterboys that come on ,I will penalise, been waiting for a ref to say that for a long time, only thing is should of said it earlier (haftime?)
I will add they shouldn't be on at all, just a couple of medics wgen there an injury.
