Rugby World Cup 2019

[minmooch]

Can't see a thread on this ....

Any rugby lovers here? Not many of my girlfriends share my love of rugby.

France/Argentina - cracking close match.

Japan/Russia - glad the home team won.

Australia/Fiji fantastic first half.

And now the All Blacks v Springboks - can't wait ....

66 minutes of boring play SA final manage to speed up. Maybe England will figure out they are in a World Cup final soon, realise they are playing SA and develop game plan.

England are shocking. Totally let themselves be dominated.

Yep. Can't blame the ref. England have been dreadful.

Here's why that ref is poor. What was the delay in the scrum? Why didn't he make SA engage? The england pack were waiting.

Disgraceful.

Argh

God England are embarrassing themselves

That was a fantastic try.

Vunipola could have dived for him, though.

England’s performance today (and actually SA’s for 3/4 of the match) is everything I detest about RU.

Shame they saved it for the final, the final deserved a great showpiece match.

Wow. Cheslin Kolbe..

England can’t blame the officials. We have been completely out-played in all phases of the game. South Africa’s scrum and defence has been absolutely outstanding. We played our final last week.

I think the organisers of the celebratory double decker bus event should probably Think about cancel it. They might get the deposit back

Where's the team that beat the All Blacks?

Agree with you there JacquesHammer.

This sort of play now is how it should have been. England might have lost by 70 points but at least it wouldnt have been a hideously poor match

England can play so much better than this. SA took control of the game from the off and England had nothing.

English DH gave up watching 5 mins ago.

Feeling a bit emotional for South Africa. This means a lot for the country.

Well done South Africa. After that you defo deserve it

That little SA player does have the look of a knobhead character from Out of Africa.

I think it's easy to win when you have the ref in your pocket. It was a terribly reffed game. The ref missed so many penalties including a yellow.....

South Africa definitely deserved this win. 🇿🇦🇿🇦

@Squigean
Oh well there’s always next time

We'll be bored stupid for the next week about the terrible ref.
England were unable to match their performance of last week, that's really all there is it it.

The ref was awful

How did they deserve to win? I would say that if the game was reffed fairly but it wasn't.

Blame the ref all you want but there's no way England deserved to win that today. They had nothing.
