Best rugby nation around. 4th win and they missed the first 2 competitions

Cmon random scrum peno

Only go in favour of SA.

Champs again

 

[Furball]

Did South Africa trouble the scoreboard once New Zealand went down to 14?

 

[NZTailender]

I don't usually watch rugby and now I'm reminded why.

Not because the all blacks lost but because that was tedious af

 

[BeeGee]

Congrats to Boks.

NZ had their chances but couldn't get the job done.

 

[James]

Goal kicking the difference, well done South Africa.

 

[ripper868]

Grats SA. Feel for Cane, J Barret had chance to pinch it, missed.

Crazy final.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Erm unlucky.

Congrats SA

 

[Molehill]

Precious little between the top 4 (or even 5) teams, but SA find a way. Funny how they’re the complete opposite of chokers in rugby.

 

[Zinzan]

Gutted, but you don't win a WC final with 14 men. Unfortunately yellow & red cards have been a hallmark of this NZ side.

Exhibit A of why rugby is dying in Australia

Took minutes to set final scrum before game ended on a technicality that few will understand

Most importantly, the only team to show any attacking ambition at all, lost to a team that didn’t score a try and received the benefit from the refs

Mounga can’t kick for his life

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I think there's cards in basically every match now.

It's fair and why I think a lot of fans were saying to do away with subs and make it injury replacements only. That way fatigue plays it part and you get more open rugby with fitness playing its part.

Haha yeah couldn't even pot it from the sideline what a ****ing loser!

 

[Furball]

Won all their knockout games by a point.
