    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that how England won it under Clive Woodward?

    Well that's game over. SA deserve it, even though their style is attritional. England just never turned up.

    England have been woeful but kudos to South Africa, no matter what you think of their style they've wanted it more than England. Their defence has been sensational and England haven't had a sniff.

    Probably.

    We have been poor.

    They have played us like a fiddle especially the scrums.

    Really disappointed. We just haven’t turned up. Too many mistakes never looked like breaking through the SA defence. Peaked a game too early. We are better than this

    Not to take anything away from SA they have been by far the better team today

    Wow! That was hugely disappointing after beating the all blacks.

    Well that was embarrassing - absolute pumping. Well played South Africa but it highlights to me why I prefer Rugby League - over complicated rules, too much emphasis on forwards, kicking and set pieces makes for long passages which are not interesting to watch. In my opinion.

    I'm half South African so couldnt lose today. The Boks were outstanding. Tactical masterclass from Erasmus. Too strong. Brutally strong. Fully deserved with a triumph which is bigger than sport.

    The advantage rule is one football should adopt... It stops the opposition being cynical and gives you free rein to get a full 7pts rather than just the 3pts from the penalty.

    The game kicked off.

    England were smashed.

    The game ended.

    It’s tough to win if you haven’t got a Azerbaijan (Russian) linesman.

    Absolutely not... England had got some of the best footballers in the world outside the scrum... Dawson Greenwood Wilkinson Robinson et Al.

    Losing a prop in Sinckler after 2 minutes was a real key moment.

    Can't disagree... the game v Wales was even more so.... but to be fair to them they're not there to make up the numbers in someone else's victory.

    Have to laugh at the size of the cup compared to the size of them!

    It definitely didn’t help. Had he stayed on I doubt they would have been so dominant in the scrums but whether we would have played better elsewhere we will never know
