Getting battered here.

Morning finals are s**t. If you win you can't properly celebrate, if you lose your weekend's ruined by lunchtime on Saturday!

6 behind again - come on boys! Get a hold of that scrum and push on. SA defence really hitting us fast and in numbers.

Can England get third place from here?

Stupid game, they keep hand balling it!

A f*****g humiliation. Out thought, and done over by a team who knew how to use the dark arts to great effect.

So frustrating. A combination of us being shite, unlucky and shafted by a shite ref. Losing our starting prop after 3 minutes and asking Cole to play 80 minutes against probably the best pack in the world put us on the back foot from the off. But the margin of the defeat is surely due to the ridiculous decision not to call back the first try. Clear forward pass.

oh dear

Out thought and out fought.

Congratulations South Africa.

I think the main problem was all the errors in the first 20 minutes. Dropping the call, passes to no one, failed rucks, conceding penalties at scrums. We were psychologically on the back foot from the start.

Jonny Wilkinson great player, awful pundit.

Talks in riddles.

South Africa won it easily but would you pay good money to watch them every week.
England were poor at everything their scrum was worse than useless, 15 points given away at the scrum. Their passing was poor their catching was poor. What is there left?

Im assuming that sith effrikka played rugby in the same way Wycombe, under Ainsworth, play football ?
