Worth a try, but clearly driving across Porter-style

As foretold our subs have cost too much

Didn’t see that coming.

Koch is at 45 degrees there.

Shame of a way to finish

Fuck.

Yup

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

Cbrist, that would have gone through a set of posts 10m back.

SA 16-15!!!!

As you say, foretold by everyone.

Too many passengers, & also rans

There we go.

Bloody hell

Much much better than expected though from England.

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

Icing on the cake from Billy. A fucking massive cake that he ate just before coming on.

Perfect way to finish.

Was that Billy V knocking on again?

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

Bloody hell. England two overcooked kicks away from winning. Well played. Boks squeak it!!

Enjoyed that. Hard luck England and well done South Africa.

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.

Sorry England, you were so close. Too tight.
SA scrum the difference

That was poor.

The water carrier should have been sent packing earlier

I guess that's Borthwick's job security nailed down for next 4 years

Yes they could have left billy on the coach, they could have done that ITV. TBF Sinkler too,

Ah well. Scrums win matches.

Congrats SA

Congrats England. The better team lost tonight. Must be hard on you.

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

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?

Easy

We can tell you are smirking Dude

Holy shit a one man demolition job from Billy

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.

England played more rugby in the last 2 minutes the they did all game.

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.

We are all Kiwi now

Fuck. We HAVE to start Ox and Koch!!!

Kitchoff is definitely a problem this WC but can Ox go for 50-60?

No, we are shit. So many players who shouldn't be near the team.

All credit to Pollard, that kick was HUGE!
