2007 all over again but 10x worse

Peaked too soon
Got blown up in the scrums
Too many penalties
Best team won though.

French ref had a nightmare out there but South Africa were dominant anyhow so it doesn't matter. Credit to the Springboks, they deserve it

Countdown to France 23

Off the record though, Siya Kolisi the first black captain to win the World Cup...Nelson Mandela would've loved to see this

This is the happiest rugby memory of my life... I can't even talk. Slept at 5am due to anxiety over the game, had to be up at 9am for 11am kick off here in Cape Town.

I'm just speechless tight now

Do you remember what Sbu Nkosi(14) and Aphiwe Dyantyi (11) did to May and Watson here in South Africa, English have zero X Factor, tackling can be taught, Wade has natural X Factor and that low explosive center of gravity... I find that insane that he wasn't picked, especially with the current crop of English wingers.

England are trying to play a POWER game. They can outmuscle most teams, but South Africa can sustain that intensity for 80 minutes, bok bench is as scary as the starting front 8. To beat the Boks England would need a Cipriani, Wade type players to give them the creative around 60 minute mark when Kitschoff, Snyman, Malcolm Marx,Frans Lou etc come on, not Watson, May, Farrell types.

A guy like Underhill is a beast but everything Undehill can do Pieter Steph Du Toit can match or better

That's why i belive England can beat New Zealand or South Africa in a one off, what they don't have the ability to do is beat New Zealand one week and pop up a week later and beat the Boks. They don't have enough muscle or creativity, it'd far better for them if they were playing Wales and simply had to worry about either Boks or All Blacks, not both in 7 days.

If England had the same pack they do now but had that scrum half from Saracens, Wade and Cipriani in their match 22 I'd be shytting myself




(i know I'm disregarding Wales but fukk it
)

You called it.

 

[Cape Town JHB]

You called it.

Thank you breh. I'm 29 and been watching rugby since i was 5...

I've watched this current crop of players since they were in high school, it's truly an overwhelming feeling.

I don't have anything bad to say about England, I'm just so proud that they stood up and produced what I knew they were capable of in 2011 at that Junior World Cup Final at Newlands and everything else that's happened since.
It's truly humbling
