I don't think or hope SA can match us, so as we keep our cool, don't give penalties. Well I've been very wrong so far, SA have got their tactics spot on and we've saved our worst game for the final 😭😭😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England stopped the All Blacks playing their game and the All Blacks couldn’t stop England playing theirs....Wales couldn't stop the All Blacks playing their game and the All Blacks pretty much stopped Wales playing theirs!.........Which means we shouldn't underestimate the Springboks! They could stop England (no matter how good England looked against the All Blacks) playing their game....and England may not be able to stop the Springboks (however they played against Wales) playing theirs? This is what I feared! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I'm not a gambler I'd have lost money today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England can take away from the tournament that they came second.Wales take away the fact that as a small nation we punch above our weight and hold our own in the top tier of rugby.

I watched South Africa play when they won this year's southern hemisphere competition and all through this World Cup I've had this feeling that they were somehow only playing half their game. And it turns out that they were. They were doing just enough to win - and today they finally shifted into an extra gear to put England away with relative ease. In any event, it's better that the competition wasn't decided by some controversial or marginal refereeing decision or a stupid mistake by someone. Basically the England forwards got powered off the park and the Springboks finally remembered that they have a world class back line. It was an excellent game and you can't win them all.

figgy Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 England never got going and South Africa dictated how the game was played. We got a spanking off a team that knew how to close us down and play the game their way. Very poor game to watch, i kept getting up and doing other things.

Then in my 20s I moved back to Aberdeenshire, and because my accent wasn't the same as theirs. people would say to me, 'but you're not really Scots' Then in 1990 I moved to South Africa for a look-see..
