    That's shocking. Farrell shouldn't have got away with that.

    Well that was awful. England were rubbish, though they got better in the end, but SA should have won that by a country mile. Frustrating stuff to watch.

    Looked fine to me. But England are lucky here and you'd have to be very worried as an England fan

    Won my SA handicap bet but that final decision was an utter disgrace. On first viewing I was thinking Farrell will be banned for a few weeks. Absolutely no logic in it not being a penalty at least.

    Hmmm.

    Really not sure about that, trying to remove my innate bias from what I saw - but I'd have given a penalty for that.

    I think if that wasn't an opportunity to steal the win at the death it would have been given.

    Jones will survive now which is a positive I guess.

    You don't have to wrap, you have to make an attempt to wrap. Ref saw the video and saw Farrell's arm coming around to wrap (which it did) and concluded that was enough for him.

    Cipriani got a red vs Munster and he was backing away from the tackle.

    Farrell absolutely busts Esterhuizen with the shoulder and no penalty, no yellow and no red.

    Pathetic.

    The inconsistency in reffing would grind your gears

    I can't see either of these teams causing any trouble at the world cup if they play like that

    That's a pretty shocking call from the ref.

    Leaving that aside, SA will be kicking themselves, 76% possession in the first half, overthrew 3 or 4 lineouts in the English 22. Plus the missed kick, didn't go for a drop at the end.

    He was attempting to wrap, which he was. Very poor execution, though.

    I don't think we learned much about either side there. Weird game.

    Regardless, when it gets to the Knockout stage, either of these teams can beat anyone in the world.

    South Africa will if they get a bit more streetwise (don't balls up lineouts in the red zone, take the drop goal if its on etc)... which I think they will knowing Rassie and Nienaber.
