Worth a try, but clearly driving across Porter-style

That's a close call. Ref saying Genge went to his knee before that?

Problem is, when you don't play rugby for 79min when you try and move it you just can't.

Annoyed the try was allowed to stand. Suspect we'd have lost it anyway, but that was a massively bad call.

Well done, Boks. So good at finding a way to win the big games.

Hard luck, England. Terrific effort to almost pull off the upset.

Great effort by England but truth be told it was a very very limited game plan by both sides, possibly due to the weather, but SA Will need more than that next week.

Both the quarter and surprisingly semi by a point, someone wants to keep their World Cup :clap:

Well done England, had a game plan, stuck to it, and almost pulled off a massive upset.

Has anyone ever lost twice on the same day to the same country in two different world cups before?
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

Of course it ends with the useless fat fuck Billy dropping it. What an absolute horror show of a world cup squad selection he's proven to be.

Extremely funny game. Best of luck in the final, South Africa - you were extremely and comically shite today and it made for a very entertaining "contest". Nice to see scrums win a match. Rassie was exposed a fair bit today, SA's approach was mental and had they lost no one could've complained. It's almost as if they had no idea what sort of England team they would be facing.

Good reverse angle of the final scrum penalty there - Genge definitely crumples then angles in. Far more annoyed by Fourie being allowed to get up again for the try, but when you are a team that refuses to use the ball there can be no complaints when you lose a game you've dominated but not put to bed.

Anyway, we did much better than France and can stand proud as the best of the NH again, so that's that.

Should be a fun final.

Fair play to Rassnaber for making changes early. Not sure any other side would hook their 10 that early.

Hard luck England and thanks for having me.

Unfortunately just about all the subs were a massive downgrade.

Still, think the England supporters should be proud.
