Damn

But well, England was the best tonight...

Too close for comfort but at least we're there. Did anyone see the large blocks of Australian supporters there who obviously assumed they would be in the semi-final? Lol

Ya I spotted that. Game wasn't great. South Africa had it won after the second try! Argentina just struggled throughout the game!

Well its the final tonight, England v South Africa. My head says South Africa but my heart says England. I just hope we don't get a roasting like last time. I can't watch it, I'll be too on edge and it will drive my partner mad.

15-6 to the Springboks, best team won on the night. I'm pleased for them because with the new quotas coming in it will take a will to get the newer players up to scratch.

great game, i was pleased to see smug England lose.
they, all their fans and all the English media seem to think that Johnny Wilkinson can win every game for them they seem to forget this is a 15 man game and not a 1 man game. Englands failure was down to basing their whole game strategy around Johnny knocking kicks over for them. Not a good way to win a rugby game. what are they going to do when johnny retires or gets injured again?

well done to South Afrcia well deserved tournament win.

[metmum]

Yeah but Bob you hate the English anyway so you would have been cheering the South Africans on anyway and been very sour if they had lost. I think it was the media that was smug and not the fans or the team.

The Springboks did deserve to win but the English team have done well to get to the final for saying they had been written of by everyone at the start of the tournament. The English might not play the prettiest or the best rugby but they put a lot of heart and guts into which is why they were in the final again.

Well said metmum. Kudos to England for showing a bit of spirit.
