RWC final

[Reg Smeeton]

I hate rugby - well I just dont get it really

  Its an outlet for the violent tendencies which lurk at some stage inside most men...much better to do it in a game form rather than have random punch ups.

  I used to play at school, and was a decent enough scrum half, the kid I used to compete with for the jersey went on to play for and captain England, he was a tough little bugger who I regularly had punch ups with, try as hard as I might I could never quite finish him off....

Wow, who's that then. You can't say that and not tell us who he is!

 Yes I can....

Argies doing well again 17-3 after 34 mins.

I have no interest in who wins, but I will probably watch it as I have watched a lot of the other world cup matches, should be an interesting match
The better team are South Africa, but that sure as hell doesn't mean they will beat you.

i'll be watching it in the merlin after a bit of shouting. hoping to get the F1 qualifying put on as well.

C'mon England !!!

[Lumps]

It's a bit dull. 14 minutes in and I've yet to see a move that involves more than two passes.

 From England's point of view the duller the better.

[Arriba]

that was a fucking try!!!!!!
so much for video evidence

[Sussex]

Meh. Fucking robbed.

Prime example of why video evidence isn't the answer to football's refereeing woes - even the tv ref can fuck up.

[Arriba]

think that could be game over now

[Batch]

Doesn't look like we will score a try, 3 pens without reply is a big ask.

[Stef Troll]

Well the best team won, but to be fair England played their part in a good final.  I think S Africa just played the same game style as England, but their class preailed.  Still fair play for England gettin into the final.

I just hope the English public and press dont start going on about the try that never was !

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

Lost 6-15. Never mind. you can't win every world cup. We gave them too many penalties and we never looked like scoring a try. But how much did that decision change the game? We had the momentum and it was a shame we didn't get that try as i thought we should have.

[Bogus Dave]

To be fair i dont think it was a try. Just before cueto grounds it, his fooot briefly, for a nanosecond, touches the line. He then raises his foot as he touches down. It sucks, but it was the right decision.

We didn't deserve to win at the end of the day, lack of discipline cost us, and we only broke through them once in the whole match. I cant be too dissapointed though. After our last match against the saffies their were many who believed we wouldn't even get past the group stages, so to get to the final is a real acheivement. What we need to do now is not make the same mistakes as after the last world cup. We can't bask in our glory, and changes still need to be made. But the england performance in tghe knock-out stages has made me very very proud to be english.
