I don’t claim to know much about the game but I reckon it’s over The Boks just had the magic when it mattered ...we looked too rigid and devoid of ideas
only England would beat the al blacks and then fail to turn up at all in the final. disgraceful performance and what a performance from the springboks
maybe they should have celebrated after the new Zealand game because they clearly thought the hard work was done... disgraceful
Eddie's a twat but certainly not a useless coach. England are WC finalists and had an exciting tournament, you really shouldn't be so negative.
We were nervous from the start. Too many froze. Too many unforced errors. SA targeted Daly under the high ball and indeed he had a bit of a mare. But the key factor was the scrum ... and Eddie didn't change it quickly enough ... easy in hindsight but Mahler and Kruis should have been on much earlier. Just pleased SA scored a couple of tries ... would have been a crap final if they had just kicked us to death.
