We need how to make WC finals mate. Farrell proving a lot of folks wrong again

Enjoyed the game last night, England were the better team really frustrated SA hoped they would get over the line to have a northern hemisphere team in the final. Farrell gets stick but I think he’s excellent was gutted for him.

    Heno Looking back, it felt like a turning point when Cole and Marler were replaced. Our best scrummagers by far. Borthwick surprisingly got all the big selection calls right

      alistair big time SA could force penalties that they weren’t getting at the scrum , have to say some of the officials have made some very questionable decisions over the whole tournament , tmo should of picked up Lawes getting a belt in the first half.

      I reckon we’d of been soundly beaten by NZ in the final anyway.

        mono-stereo Thought we’d be soundly beaten by the Saffers too to be honest. You just never know!

        Smallman1 That’s not bloody surprising man, cos they’re a bunch of ignorant loud-mouths, with no sense of humour.

          Was at the Ireland vs SA match and yeah there fans are hard work, I’m sure people say that about us Irish but in fairness loads stayed after the game and joined in the singing etc, if only semi spots were dished out for that!

          Just got back from Paris. Was an amazing few days and Saturday was a bit of a blur. Absolutely pissed it down and that helped us to be fair. Ive read and heard all the post match analysis but my overriding sense is one of massive missed opportunity. Genge and Sinckler just got beasted when they came on and the writing was on the wall. Strength in depth and a couple of silly/dubious penalties did us.

          So many Saffers there. All going bonkers. Good bantz with them and one was giving me the justification why they are so mental about rugby…..that being they have literally nothing else to be proud of as a nation. Fair enough.

          Lets see how Borthwick goes over the coming 6 nations and how drastic a rebuild it will be .

            IndustryStandard Saffers abusing and threateningTom Curry on social media can do one. Hope they get smashed in the final.
