The Final (and 3rd place play off)

[flibbertyjibber]

Game could end up being decided by fewest injuries here. Brutal game so far.

 

[Flem274*]

two concussions and a dislocation. you can see why blokes take the euro or the yen sooner rather than later

 

[Spark]

Is anyone going to be fit by the end of this game

 

[wpdavid]

And another. Easy for me to say from here, but England just seem to concede so many more penalties than the other leading sides.

 

[wpdavid]

Now that's just ridiculous. Twice we've achieved parity and twice we've immediately given it away due to ill discipline. Sort it out boys.

 

[Spark]

The SA tight five have been immense.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

We are lucky to only be 6 points behind at half time.

 

[sledger]

Not feeling especially optimistic here

 

[StephenZA]

I didn’t think this is good for my anxiety levels.

Relax, your boys are looking fine.

 

[Flem274*]

how long can sa defend though?

both teams lacking reward for some serious play. silly errors.

fortunately they've got the scrum dominance.

 

[Burgey]

Saffers been really good so far. Shoving england around a far bit

 

[Uppercut]

De Klerk is rugby’s Ngolo Kante.

 

[Spark]

That scrum is just a freight train.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Being utterly monstered at the scrum. Men against boys.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

We are done here SA just too good.

 

[Spark]

Gee I thought that one was harsh though.

 

[wpdavid]

I wonder what the record is for the number of penalties conceded in a WC Final. England may well have already passed it. Maybe try to play within the rules chaps?

It's not a lack of knowledge of the rules which is killing England here. Just getting overpowered.

 

[Spark]

Wow where has this come from? SA fallen asleep.
