Think that’s well and truly it now. Well done SA.

Fair play Boks. Complete domination. Worthy champions.

Goosebumps!

South Africa have been so, so good.

It stings. But happy for them.

 

[Burgey]

So good. Absolutely loved this.

 

[Spark]

Oh man a good bounce and that was number three

As if it was in doubt. Anyway, maybe a lesson here for the England camp about saying rather less until you've actually won something. Way too much talk since the semi-final imo, and now they are being well and truly hammered.

 

[MrPrez]

Awesome stuff.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Fair scoreline now. SA been superb. Congratulations to them.

 

[Burgey]

Suspect the soap dodgers played their final last week, but SA has been awesome, especially up front. Kudos to them.

Honestly with all the talk it feels like they forgot why they actually won vs us, the ABs. They were never ever going to get the sort of dominance in tight today that they did on those occasions, but this has been a rugby lesson from the SA forwards.

Brilliant, abso****ing brilliant

apart from the japanese blitz and 3 minutes of pure all blacks counter attack the south african defence has looked absolutely invincible

 

[BoyBrumby]

Think that's the union equivalent of spinning the ball on your finger.

The Japanese blitz and the fact that they survived that was when I actually decided that, actually, this is a legit team. Boring by choice, but legit.

Packs win matches. Always said it

Yep. Why Aus rugby is always less than the sum of its talent, to bring up an old saw.

NZ supposedly were unstoppable after beating Ireland, England after beating NZ and Saffers champions.

Their rugby team are balls of steel personified.
