We’re always being told about Jones and his much vaunted 23 man team. He did call it correct though. South Africa to win against England, who would beat NZ and Aussies. And great game management by the Springboks last week, by doing just enough to beat Wales and keeping a near full tank left. Ex Boks forward coach Richie Gray (a Scot) was on Radio Scotland yesterday warning that SA wuld win and likely comfortably because they were holding so much back.

VALDOS' Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Wonderful stuff, England weren't even close. They definitely thought they'd won it after putting NZ to the sword. I feel as close to our South African brothers as I did with Croatia 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Absolutely tremendous performance from the Boks. They win by having a defence that refuses to take a backward step, having a pack of forwards that, while weighing less than England, simply blew them away with aggression and desire and strummed the best 80 minutes of rugby I have seen, and finally had the backs to cut loose when required. in addition, Snyman is a world champion and he is simply awesome. Serious man crush on the big man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxy Hearts Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Some of the English players who are ordinary were made look that and less. Farrell, Vinupolas, Tuilagi, I could go on. We have to listen to hyperbole during the 6N about players but that was on a different level from SA and the English were made to look shambolic.

Malinga the Swinga Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Before the match, 90% of the pundits predicted only one team would play rugby and they were right, only one team would score tries and they were right, the opposition would have no answer to their all round pace and power and they were right So pleased they got the one thing wrong though.

132goals1958 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Well done SA, Their pack steamrollered all over the the English forwards. After the performance against NZ I never saw this coming. Thought the commentary team( although obviously wanting an English win) were very respectful and gave due credit to the Boks. In the minority but don,t get all the barbed comments about England as it just makes us out a bit parochial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Kintner Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 13 hours ago, shaun.lawson said: My call? I'm English so please disregard it - but England in a close one, which might even go to extra time. And in the five previous finals these two nations have played, they have a grand total between them of just one try (Jason Robinson, 2003). The Springboks are played 2, won 2 in finals having scored no tries at all! So it's likely to be tense, tight, and the side which makes fewer errors will win.
