As an English supporter, I would like to first congradulate the Boks, I have a lot of South African friends, amazing people, wish u the best for the final !!! Excellent performance by both teams and thank u both for giving us an unforgettable game !!! God bless u both
Right back at you folks! Incredible performance and strategy from England only upstaged by a phenomenal post match interview.
@@stanvanrensburg6620 Stan if memory serves me there was a Christo Vanrensburg tennis player. Any relation ?
Even as a South African, I have to acknowledge, England was the better team for 80-90% of the Game.
They were not considered at all, but but a finals-worthy performance against the reigning champs. AMAZING WORK
That never die attitude gives South Africa the edge to do it twice in a row shows that resilience
England just cannot prop, that's only why they failed
Its not the better team that's remembered, it's the winning team. They would not give a feck if the shoe was on the other foot.
They kicked 15 points.
Totally agree that the boks played horrible... BUT we still won them playing our worst game in months
As an Irishman, I have to say I really feel for England. It was their game to win, but South Africa are never beaten until they are beaten. A cruel way to lose after doing so much right. England had their critics coming into this world cup, and I think they silenced a lot of them, particularly with that performance last night. But credit SA, that's why they're champions. Not at their best, and still came out on top.
I agree with you it was hardluck, but England never looked like scoring.
Great message to both teams😊
As an irishman it’s odd to feel anything positive for England surely!
As a South African,what a great example of a great,humble coach,living for the game,smile on his face even after losing,showing humility .Respect,Mr.Bortwick.
Wankers mate😂
during the game it was not his attitude,after the game he has no choice to be humble as thy lost
What? "slow the game down, prevent any rugby being played..." lol this team doesn't play rugby. EVERYONE except the English HATES the English rugby team.
From his point of view, this is great! No one thought they get this far, let alone barely loose to SA. He gets to go home a hero and keep going
Opposite of Rassie I’d say myself
As a Scotland supporter, what an outstanding and thrilling match to watch. A lot of fans had England written off due to S.A. and Ireland being so strong, but I did say all a long never write England off anything. What an outstanding effort from England. Take a bow, lads.
Well said, so many crows on here, the British always get slated yet are the most polite and humble
God Bless You Brother.
I've seen read a lot of comments the last 3 or 4 weeks, and what I would say to a lot of these so-called fans to wash their mouths out with soap. Absolutely disgusting people on social media. The media don't England at all, hence why a lot of Scots won't support England. And I'll be honest, I was one of them, but I see the bigger picture. A lot of fans absolutely slating Scotland, and I mean to the point where it's vial comments. The Irish being one of them. I had a soft spot for the irish but by christ their ego was up through the roof and got shot down back to reality.
I know that as a Scotland, we have always struggled at the top level, and have come along way to 5th in the rankings. But that doesn't count for anything as its what you do on the pitch that counts . And your only as good as your last game. . We had a very tough group, I feel like we could have done a lot better. Find Russell is not a captain and should have been left to do what he does best on the pitch to do his on thing. Scotland shat it against S.A and Ireland rather than take the game to them.
As u say England were outstanding last night but wasn't meant to be and Owe Farrel needs calm down and keep a lid on it. Lol
As a jock, I bet you were jumping for joy?😂
Normally, I do, but I actually wanted England to win last night. I'm not a bitter Scot but always up for the banter 😅
Saffa here. Hats off to England. You almost caused me and many of the SA fans endless heart failures. What a game! Be proud about your flawless game. You had this but none of us on this earth are perfect and glitches do make their way through to exploit the slightest gap. Such gentlemen you all are at this stage of the comp. You rattled us im sure.
Pretty demoralised but I guess that’s sport. Glad we turned up though. I look up to SA when it comes to sport and comments like this reinforce that.
SA fan : what I expected. Listen closely to Steve, they have a young squad and will be formidable in two and then 4 years time.
So unlucky...game plan and players nearly pulled it off....great effort England 🏴
So proud of England. I hope they continue to grow and ignore the negativity ❤
Saffa here and I honestly thought that England was the better team this game - They deserved a win, we played poorly. I did not expect us to make a last-minute comeback (SA resilience/heart & a sprinkle of luck as usual). Happy to be through to finals - I don't think we can beat the ABs 😂 ...but our team is full of surprises...maybe another 1 point victory 🤣
SA will beat the All the blacks, maybe the cup will go to another country next time, as for this year, it's coming back to South Africa.
England fought, lost but narrowly, but won back their respect after a couple of difficult years. Well done to all concerned.
Really? The match was so slow it was boring af
Well done England. You played the better game. Similar to the French game we only started playing at the end. NZ won't give us the opportunity for a comeback after playing 60 min poorly.
And we all hope so. Your game is really ugly
England you out played the boks .were lucky to win this game. From South Africa 🇿🇦
Lucky?
Yes lucky, but that is sport
Not lucky. England subs were outplayed!
You played brilliant rugby..continue on this path🇿🇦🏆❤️❤️🔥
Have always thought Borthwick was boring, generic and somewhat tactically inept in comparison to some other top international coaches. Last night’s tactics were absolutely spot one. Massive respect. Potentially a big turning point for him and his England team.
I cant praise England enough. Well done to the land of my ancestors. I am a Boks supporter, but they squeaked a win. England wins on praise, respect and admiration.
Congratulations South Africa, heartbreak for England, I really did think we were going to do it. Onwards and upwards now guys, hold your heads high.
As a South African 🇿🇦 Supporter Steve has taken this Team to another level what Eddie broke Down Best English Team after so little time taking Over the English Team they played a Game they were the better team and put South Africa 🇿🇦 under pressure great Game
Please Please can we have subtitles for the England coach and captain greetings from France 🇨🇵
English Rugby pride and reputation took a major step towards being restored! Well done to Coach Steve! From a Bok supporter
So pleased they won't be in the final to spoil it with stodgy rugby.
Irony that is what SA will do - luckily we have the ABs
Win or lose the Bokke supporters always whine these days... Have some respect for your team, for others and yourself. SA fans used to... Sad.
Four more years (after the argies beat you).@@AndrewAllison-p5l
What do SA ,the same . Clown
Zuh?@@kneh39
It was great game of rugby and England’s performance was outstanding. Owen Farrell, Steve Borthwick, the entire coaching staff and team should be justifiably proud of the way they played.
To have lost in such a way to a magnificently executed penalty in the closing minutes is one thing and to have accepted the result with such dignity and magnanimity is a wonderful testament to their sportsmanship and the game. It’s why those of us who’ve played rugby love it so much. By the way, I’m a proud Scot who was rooting for England.
For the first time in a while i can actually say i'm proud to be English! The reason why is because of the Two guys sittig there being interviewed after what must be a gutt wrenching time orthem and the team.
We were superb, tactically brilliant and smart with our all round game. Farrell is a supreme captain and leader and you could see the passion in him. I will eat my words about Borthwick who i wasn't convinced about as the knew head coach, how wrong was i!!
He's very humble, honest and deserves all the credit he gets for what he's done in a short space of time.
For me England were the best team for 62mins and south Africa for the remainder, but because we hadn't got a try they were always there as good teams are and found just enough to win. I'm gutted obviously but well done south Africa.
On another note i will have to brush up on some of the new rules especially in the scrum!?
Agree, when England play with intensity/passion I can really back them and the last two games they've showed up and been really good to get behind.. (I've been pissed off for years)
I wouldn't worry about the scrum rules, could easily argue some bad calls by the ref, but the way I look at it is the saffa front row did a fantastic job of blurring the lines and getting the ref well and truly in their side.. rest is history
(The first and last pen when we had the new front rows on could:ve easily been given the other way for boring in)
As a springbok fan I can only say wow England for such a superb performance.
South Africa was interrupted, disrupted, impeded, impaired and precluded from finding their rhythm and playing their game by some deliberate refereeing tactics..!
This is a shame for the game..! It only serves to spoil it.
IRB must sort this out a.s.a.p.!
I agree 💯 % . I was pulling my hair out. Everytime the boks gained some sort of momentum the ref would blow a ridiculous call and kill the momentum. The boks were rattled by the ref not England. They were getting penalized at the breakdown for ridiculous things and so started rushing things. Also the ref kept shouting use it use it before we even have a chance to settle. England were adding 3 players on the back of a ruck ffs! And no call to use it!
We have been playing the ref since the damn Ireland game which we should have won.
No doubt next week we will play the ref again. The world doesn't want to see Springboks win a 4th title. IRB wants their beloved ABs to win since their first choice Ireland is out.
Agree 💯💯 What in the hell is Kollisi doing in the team except being a great ambassador for SA, because he brings fuckall to the game itself!!! Handrê and Faf should start along with the bomb squad. Libbok can come on in the last 10min if necessary, because he is a total liability on defense and kicking. Against NZ we MUST take it to them up front, NZ very vulnerable in that area. So it is a final and upon seeing the last two games we played we should bring on fresh legs in the form of Esterhuizen and Moody. Go for a 7-1 split and take the risk, NZ cannot play their backs if the they are dominated up front!! We saw that almost two months ago.
I would hate to see the comments of South African Fans had they lost . Whingers first class from some. I guess you can see those who have played the game and those arm chair players. Understand they are Laws not Rules. The Anti Ref Comments show ignorance of the laws. He made Owen pay for mouthing off no mention of that I note. 😮
Clyde Waffler stop the negativity
@@michaelroebuck1340The Owen decision is a case where the law was indeed applied and correctly so.! What mention do you expect to note..?!
Or do you expect every correct application to be awarded a gold medal.!
Do you expect an honorable mention every time you actually stop at a red light..?!
The "anti ref comments" show impatience with ignorance of the laws, and the misapplication thereof.
People who DO actually know the "Laws" are frustrated by those who do not know them or chose to ignore them, flaunt them or misapply them for personal reasons.
If it is applied equally to both teams, then you actually have a game...; otherwise it is simply NOT rugby..!
That is ALL we ask for..! Is it perhaps too big an ask..; simple parity?!
Perhaps you prefer non-rugby to be your game..!
Saw a comment on BBC’s website which summed it up nicely:
“England at their best, couldn’t beat SA at their worst”
I'm Welsh but genuinely felt gutted when England lost, they were outstanding!
is it possible that Farrell could be present on the physical field yet also be a bit smarter with regards his relationship with match officials? as a welshman I both admire his presence but feel a frustration at his inability to read the game's direction under the stewardship of the on field officials. a bit more intelligence and in game tempo reaction to the officials might help I feel.
Referee is never going to change his mind anyways, says one thing does another
Hi Farrell and Borthwick as a South African, South Africa got battered, beaten and got taught a lesson, never underestimate England again! We got lucky!!! New Zealand will not give an inch away! When England a legend and one of the worlds great players and led but Captain Farrell never put your guard down and the same for their great coach, legend Borthwick, they out thought the think tank and very nearly won. England were fantastic.
as a south african and supporting ENGLAND rugby wow you guys did play a game no1 did think you guys can play very good game guys
Very proud of the England lads. Couldn't be closer. Well played South Africa, and for playing to the buzzer. The performance showed character on both sides
One of the best ever English performances
i think their best performancence was in the final against the Boks in 2019,
@anthonyhofmeyrGermany How did Germany do at the world cup???
Ask Hitler
What on earth does blue smiling mean? Please use our wonderful language properly, instead of this vulgar German compound wording. English is a simple beautious poetic language.
Im Glad they lost
A lot of people are complaining about the refereeing, but where were all the other teams when the Springboks said the refs have not been fair for the past few years??? When Rassie complained about the refs and got his bans??? Everyone said he was making excuses??? Until the analytics came out!!! And the proof was there against World Rugby... Watch TASanalytics... Yes refs make mistakes, but they are blatantly taking sides and at pivotal points of games... Being South African I obviously know more about the way it went against the Springboks ie : The final minute ruck against Ireland... The maul collapses vs England... Offsides at line outs and mauls vs Springboks... there are just too many inconsistancies and when they get looked at afterwards the evidence is there... All the teams need to get together and argue an overall case to better the rules and refs as it effects the game fundamentally... If 1 ref can't cope, put 2 on the field but something needs to change because the effort that all teams put in should not be decided by a refs mistakes
@@MrMarmite5164 This is unfortunately the sad reality of everything in life... Even in this day and age... You do as you told and you fall in line... If you argue/oppose, you lose everything... Money is power, and obviously those who control the money have the power... Don't you just love this free and fair world we live in???????
England exceeded my expectations. They are the getting back to what they are good at, slowing the game down and playing 10 man rugby. Exciting times........
4 months in charge.....
Farrell will learn....."He who laughs last....." Next time, wait until the final whistle to celebrate, not when a kick works or you win a scrum. Your arrogancy during the game sunk your team, your mates and your country.
I have to agree with your valid comment! Exactly my observation, thankyou
This match will be a cautionary tale for years for people in rugby on wasting time.
England was the better team on the day and if they could have had the extra 10 minutes they wasted back there is every chance they could have put more points on the board
They were resting
Gutted for the boys.
No regrets, they did absolutely everything 🌹
boys?……..playing against men of the South….go bokke
Bort wik was boasting how young his boys are…..scarred for life poor chaps
as a springbok fan im gutted for the english! especially because the were the better team on the day! but this boks side is special there is an air of inevitability when we play, the english should be proud of the performance def outplayed us! pity effort doesnt reflect on the score board
To the reporter who said something like "I'm sure they (the players) are all disappointed because it just came down to a scrum penalty". No it f'ing didn't. Another HUGE factor is England's typical pattern of getting a 2 or more score lead and with 30 mins or so to go, deciding to be lazy, stop trying to score and just relying on defending that lead. They do it so often, you can kind of count on it! By the time they realised that they needed to score more they had been totally out-subbed by South Africa and it was too late.
If we didn't get beaten up in the scrum at the end we would have won that game. The scrum cost us.
So what you play to your strengths we were never going to win the scrums against the boks
You cannot just avoid scrums and I'm pretty sure we at least matched them in the scrum until the last 20 minutes. We didn't need to win scrums just not lose penalties in the scrum. It costs too much to give easy territory like that.
I enjoyed the game, but it wasn’t rugby, it was aerial ping pong.
@@mikerobinson9836 If you had scored a try 10 mins before, it wouldn't have mattered , If the ball wasn't dropped and knocked-on there would have been no scrum. You simply cannot live on the fact that the game was solely lost because of a scrum penalty. If's and's and but's do no one any good after a game is done. It's sports and we need to accept it. The thing that really worries me is the outcry from English rugby 'todo's' about abolishing the scrum from the game. Reactionary actions while emotions are running high are no good for anything. Just ask anyone in a long-term relationship!!
Hi, I'm French and you know what I mean about Rose's team.
But yesterday, I was for yours.
Whith the rain, you played with yours arms and you merited the win. But BOK and BOKK said : " NO NO NO!!!"
We are the same destiny but no the same level.. After this 2 matches, WR has her final so... Everybody is hzppy.
I respect Itowe'during a long time, your number 15 and Farrell were incridible, determined. Your 1rst ligne in first half was very impressionnant..
But BOK and the last scrum said NO!!!
BOKK ans Polard said Yes!
This game was not beautiful, but the fight was good in English defense..
Heeeee English!!!? , vivement 2024 in France for 6th nation!!!
.
,
Tactical brilliance from England , really unlucky to lose. They showed other teams how to beat the Springboks. Yet England should have won easily. Teams should have a plan B if their scrummaging fails. I have seen other teams outscrummed and adapt. Last final 4 years ago (it was also scrums) and today's semi final again scrums) that cost England the game . Do they NOT HAVE A PLAN B ? AGAINST STRONGER SCRUMS?
As a Bok supporter I have to say I was thinking we gonna lose this after the first half, people can say the English play better in the wet but everyone plays in winter there is no excuse, the English kicked well and consistently put the pressure on as well as beating us up front early on. Came together in the second half but we need to lift for the final or we will get hammered.
England should have tried for a try a bit more, they constantly kicked and kicked and kicked, hate to say it but when there was 15 mins left on clock, English bench were have a laugh, think they took their eye off the ball, and allot can happen in 15 mins 😮
Humble coach. Commiserations. You were better on the day. From Springbok supporter.
Brilliant game by England, you had a game plan and truly trashed SA for 70 minutes. Well done.
Brilliant game by Farrell, awesome drop goal...
Arghhhhahahahahahahahaha
Thanks Owen for the 3 points……..is he the only player in the tournament to be marched back 10 metres and not kick a penalty in time😂😂😂😂😂 he’s still a miserable tw…..t
just a pity it didnt help to win
You’re quite right….he donta speaka da good nglish……more like a northern whine……he will face his own karma when he tries his luck on the Argentinians…..watch him get red carded or worse try to injure an opponents head……the guy should be banned…..taught English and how to be polite by Captain Siya@@Pieandpeas
You sound young and emotional at the moment……as you mature you will learn that the pen is mightier than the sword……..one day you will be old and emotional….come on bokke……oh! and don’t forget to pick up your 4 th place medals this time and close the door behind you@@Pieandpeas
I think England need to learn how to score try’s.
They've never scored a try against SA in any worldcup. Can't never be the best on penalties only.
As a bok supporter i gave to say england were brilliant , Borthwick will take this team back to the top
England should not be given credit. They were only helped by the rain and did nothing else but slowing the game down, kicking and never scoring any try. This is why I as a dutchman hate northern hemisphere rugby and england are by far the worst at this anti rugby. they should've already lost from fiji. What a disgrace from the country who invented this great sport
England played very well and should be proud they held the game all the way to the last minutes, England just unfortunate
Lets be honest. England had an easy ride. They were not tested previous to SA. Thats a fact. Ireland had to face SA and NZ before any semi final.
Irish?
What on Earth does that have to do with England performing brilliantly tonight? Give them their due credit. Speaking as a fellow Irish fan.
Lol Samoa lost by 1
@ya reckon that was performing brilliantly wow zero attack just kick it away and hope for a drop ball or a penalty for 3 point classic English rugby 🤮
Yeah you see that is why england has always been such a good team throughout the years and such a huge threat at every world cup, they can handle pressure and they pull up their sleeves and can come with a huge shock when it matters, damn they nearly gave us a beating 🇿🇦
From a South African, well done England, you showed us flames!😅🔥
This coach should be very proud,I mean hes few months in the job but almost made it to the Final...Eddie Jones and Warren G failed to do wat he did...so kudos to him.
The match was exciting only because the score was very tight...but let's be honest here, there was very little Rugby played by both teams. Cant remember any of the centres getting a pass from #10. Most of the game played between the 22m lines.
France and Ireland fans must be really frustrated to see their teams out at QF, playing good expansive rugby.
Let's hope the final is a better spectacle.
They would've won if they had Eddie Jones
It worked for Australia!
haha you must be trolling 😂
You’re just a piss taker 😂
I have seen Owen grow through this WC, his character is growing into a true leader. Great game England team we excited to see how you evolve in the future. 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
As a Kiwi I am glad your tactics of continually slowing the game was not rewarded with a win. You have the talent but not the plan.
It wasn't the prettiest of games but both teams tried their hearts out and it just went the boks way in the end! As a welshman it's time to stop all this bitterness and nastiness from some of my fellow welshman we should get behind whatever home nation team is left flying the flag in any major tournament!
England slowed the game down so much it was ridiculous
Litterally the same as the spring boks in 2019
@@battlevgaming9887 England is the slowest and most boring team ever
@@trent3727 so were south africa in 2019
England reverted to 10 man rugby…it’s all they know…..thank you Owen for the 3 points
That's why hey run out of time to score a try and to win the game
Congrats to Bokke❤
They never played their best performance wasnt there from entering and English took full advantage
But no lie at times i felt i was watching English Soccer on the Rugby field and hated it
This is how South Africa played yrs ago and i hated it then too
All said n done BOKKE cameout on Top
Between SA AND NZ MAY THE WINNER WIN😂 THEY BOTH GREAT AND FAVOURITES AS WELL PLAY A GOOD GAME OF RUGBY AS WELL AS IRELAND ❤
It was an intense 15 minutes of footy 🙄
owen should of been sent off on the 5m line for tripping the player and knocking the ball on right infront of the ref while lying down, plus chop tackles without arms.
Problem with England is their cynical approach to the game. Gamesmanship is one thing but they take it to another level slowing the game down, mouthing off to the ref etc - which might win them the odd game but wins them few friends. Essentially very boring.
Play to your strengths that's all I am saying
Going into this game I had a feeling this would go one of 2 ways, a complete blowout of Eng, or an extremely tight encounter with SA scraping it. It all depended on which English team pitched up. I knew they had the experience and game style to make it tight and boy did they…
i love england's humble'ness
Borthwick deserves some recoqnition that he perfected the Boks game from 2019. England played their best game of the tournament. The boks choked and are going to need a miracle to win next week
England won, but lost.
Gutted for them.
Borthwick did an amazing job in their turnaround after Eddie Jones.
at least eddie made the final!
No, Borthwick did not play a major role in this,,, the England defence coach was brilliant..he taught them excellent defence skills and counter attack capabilities, which almost cost the Bokke the game. As a Saffa, I can only thank you guys for a brilliant game. Love and respect from SA
england lost, rugby won
Well done farewell Farrell, you cost wngland the game with your antics
As a South African we won the game, but it doesn't feel like we deserved it.
I am going to go against most of the commenters. I did not like the game that England brought to the paddock. It was very negative with way to much kicking and the one dimensional approach that feeding off kicks by penalties and drop goals was a way forward to get to a final and that is what potential world champions are supposed to look like. I started the game with the attitude of supporting the English because I wanted to see the Blacks smash them in the final as they would have done but switched to supporting the Bok's as the English did not deserve to take a game like theirs to the final. Would you believe it the Bok's taught the lesson that tries win matches and getting them with Bottle, Power, Teamwork and Shear Guts brings Glory, Honor and Respect. It took them awhile to get their act together as they were beaten trying to out play the English at their own game but real rugby won on the day. The Springboks are worthy opponents of the All Blacks and a SOUTHERN grand final is WELL deserved as New Zealand put down the number one team to book their spot. The two best teams in the world will take to the field and the chips will fall where they will and what you see will be a master class. If we get beaten we know that the victory will be hard won and well deserved.
As a South African, I am not sure England came with a winning strategy, their strategy frustrated the Boks and they controlled the game to the point where the Boks became anxious by making silly mistakes. They are saying they felt like the played well enough to win the game,that exactly is the problem, they weren't good enough, once the Boks got the rub of the green, the points came to England dismay, Pride comes before a fall, Farrel and other players were bragging and boasting during the game as the game was won all ready, Be humble boys, We are Champions
I think you may be unaware that this was only a semi-final
I'm surprised if uou watched the game that you couldn't recognise England's game plan
England came with a successful kicking cjase and territory game, they dominated the lineouts and picked ariel wingers that won the ball .
As you cant identify an obvious gameplan perhaps you can tell is more about Farrell and other England players bragging and boasting as if the game was won.
I'm guessing you invented that so you can make out your humble.
Yes the Boks were deserved winners on the night, it was a very close game and could easily have gone England's way.
So why not enjoy the win, instead of inventing slights to critise England
Pathetic
As an irish person, it was a great game to watch..England your team turned up and now u can look forward to 6nations 2024..Farrell the younger, is a natural leader..hats off..😊
Awful game. Full of errors from both sides none more than the referee who was so inconsistent he should not be allowed to Referee again. He gave the match to England in first 60 mins then handed to SA in last 15-20 mins. If England had gone to the final it would have been a mockery of the world cup. The draw was a shambles.
England were brilliant
A scrum penalty will always be controversial. It will take a brave person who will be able to list the conditions under which a scrum penalty is conceded...
I’m so happy England has a great coach again!
England was simply brilliant but benches were the difference 🇿🇦
78 minutes of negative rugby beaten by 2 minutes of positive rugby. Rugby was the winner on the day
Haha, you clown. England do the same what SA do years.But SA have luck also wit h referee.
I keep hearing "England played a great game". They didn't score any tries! Sorry, but that is not great. If they scored just one try, they would have won.
Springboks beat England because they kept their nerve and did not give up. As good as England was, South Africa turned on the pressure when it was vitally needed and beat them.
You underestimate Ford dropkick that can put England to the final
No journalist asked Owen Farrell if he asked his father Andy for any tips on playing the sa. Should have world Cup every 2or3 years 4 year to long a gap for most players around the 30 age.
SA had a killer pool and tough QF. England had it easy from day 1 and SF facing an exausted Springbok team scoring no tries with a staduim full of England fans booing the entire game through. England pride themselves for losing against the Springboks who were playing not so good on the day. England has a long way to go but mabe they'll get there in 4 years.
True very true that's why this final is gonna epic ...
Saffer, it credit to you England - so close, and you were deserving leaders for most of the game….
The english captain blew his teams chances with his back chat to the ref. All competition the english games were on par with paint drying. Boring and unimaginative.
interesting how the scrum penalties were given to South Africa but not Fiji ,in identical similar situations
Yes, I was fan of Ben O'Keeffe the referee, but yesterday he was not good. Cost England the final
We we had an easy road to the SA game
Garbage tactics by England throughout the game. I'm so glad they lost and have no sympathy at all for their players.
England were truly good
Borthwick England landing up in a semi-final is a miracle in itself
Strategic master class by England.
Great desire by South Africa.
Not the greatest game but what a game!
England playing to there plan. Boring suffocating and ultimately losing rugby.
Did they expect to win then?
Most of the game the English had the upper hand,but we're SOUTH AFRICANS we ALWAYS BELIEVE.
NOW for everyone's dream FINAL
What a boring team
England are always like that
Cos South Africa Played beautiful rugby didn't they 🤔
Is there any greater boondoggle than these press conferences?
'You tried to win, but you lost. You must feel disappointed.'
'We tried to win, but we lost. Yes, we do indeed feel disappointed.'
They're all the same. Oh wait, what's that? A red circle overlapping an orange circle? Seeing that makes me want to open a Mastercard account!
😂😂😂😂
England did not perform well but the official did let's not act like we did nt see that....😡
South Africa s defence is the best in world and last night proofed it.
your spelling is the best in the world
The scrum was originally in the game to restart play. Nowadays it has degenerated into a means of getting a penalty. Why one should get a penalty awarded against one for putting a knee on the ground is beyond me. (I was a prop in the amateur days.) Similarly for standing up. The front row doesn't willing stand up; they're pushed up by the opposition. England lost the game on the back of a sequence of three scrum penalties in a row. Farcical. (I'm not English, by the way, just a befuzzled ex-prop.)
Heres my question. Looking at the England squad and seeing the awesome young talent is promising for the next world cup but Will Farrell is a knob and thats all there is to it.
