Rugby World Cup 2023 - RWC

[iainpeden]

That was cruel

[Yorky]

Lead all the way such a shame.

[XWP29]

Running props exposed. England were great but Saffers deserved it.

[XWP29]

By that I mean M Vunipola may not have given away three decisive penalties.

[slogen51]

England were far better for the majority of game but that is live sport

The English replacement props were exposed and it took a superb SA penalty to grab the lead with 2 minutes to go

Could have gone either way but before the match many people had given England no chance so perhaps the cynics were right!

Btw I hope SA stuff the All Blacks

[Blackcat1]

That’s England’s World Cup bubble burst.

Gutting to lose by 1 point!! Hard luck guys.

So a Southern Hemisphere final , how boring

[XWP29]

Scrum time is still v important. We didn’t capitalise on our advantage. Played in games similarly, not at this level of course.
England did so much more than expected. Borthwick has done really well and that, hopefully will develop in the 6 Nations.

New Zealand are the favourites. Not boring at all.

[Blackcat1]

I meant 2 Southern Hemisphere teams , same old same old

Opps fair enough.

[slogen51]

As far as I am concerned the final with two southern hemisphere teams is boring

I will watch it but I won't care who wins

Super Saturday has turned into sh#t Saturday

What a fine example of Mod!

An unfortunate loss and not inspiring rugby from either side. The final should be more entertaining.

[Blackcat1]

Yes it’s nice to watch a match where you don’t give a toss who wins, it’s easier on the old blood pressure!

Maybe, down to us; the NH to change that, and we failed, again.

Not inspiring? What exactly were you expecting? 10 tries each half and the Messiah coming on to pass judgement!

Why should the final be more exciting?

South Africa 16 - England (Owen Farrell) 15

Says it all. Farrell played a Captain's game and he proved why he is the Captain! The Springboks should pay their respects to their guardian angel, or whatever deity, and consider themselves lucky.

We were robbed!

Then coming Friday against the Argies for third place play-off ...

[slogen51]

The Springboks guardian angel was Ben O'Keeffe !

Many would say the Kiwi referee was their fairy godmother for a second time after the French encounter

Anyway it's only sport move on and South Africa are a proven world class team and I hope they retain the title.

[Dave Smith]

"and the Messiah coming on to pass judgement!" -He's not coming out, he's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy. -

[slogen51]

Love it

The ref last night is called Ben or was it Brian
