They’re led by arrogance and their biggest player shouldn’t be playing international rugby because of his backwards views.

Not to mention Joe Marler who was so horrified by Folau’s comments but clearly doesn’t give a **** about Vunipola playing alongside him.

Kyle Sinckler one of the most arrogant players in the game.

Maro Itoje one of the biggest cheats.

So yes. Plenty to dislike about them.

Billy V fair enough, obviously don’t agree with his views.

The rest are a bit arrogant on the pitch, so what? Some players have an edge when they play but off the field are completely different.

Personally think every team needs a few cocky characters, all successful teams in any sport have a few.

Hear hear well said. Lots of great honest, hard-working lads in the England squad. But some people love to get the knives out at any opportunity.

WOuldnt really agree there. Think NZ were the same against both Ireland and Eng. It was the opposition that produced the different score boards. Ireland were poor. England were good.
The game suited SA. It was a contest of similar teams and they came out the better of the contested part of the game, stalling Englands forwards, and making more progress in return, themselves.
NZ have to play a different game, and were totally unable to handle Englands forwards.

What would Graham Henry know abut rugby?:rolleyes:

Gatland made a similar comment to Henry.

Anyway, hard luck England, never really got going and keeping the performances up after last week was always going to be tough. Congratulations to any SA fans here, well deserved clever knockout rugby. Can't argue with that scoreline.

Was there a poll done before the tournament, can anyone remember. Curious to see how accurate we all were in our guesses.

Prediction thread is probably the closest

Boks captain is a gent delighted for him

So happy for Felix Jones. I certainly gave him stick for his back work with us but he totally deserves this.

He had such a terrible end to his career and was injury ravaged.

IReland has a World Cup winner!!

Nah Wales wouldn't have been able to lift the performance to anywhere close to this.

You’re probably right, but Gatland wouldn’t see it that way.

Sinckler was a huge loss. Coles not good enough of a back up. Not great for the game to see SA's style winning out but their basics have really improved. Replacing Jantjes with Pollard changed the whole picture.

I thought SA could have had several players binned early in the game. They were extremely cynical. De Klerk could have been binned a couple of times. But finals are won in that manner. You just need a stronger ref.

Congratulations to SA and especially Rassie.

Why are England so poor against South Africa??

They have an awful awful record against them, much better against Australia.

Gatland won’t be happy at all.

Wales had the beating of SA last week and didn’t do it and if they had won they would have fancied beating England today.

Nah Wales wouldn't have been able to lift the performance to anywhere close to this.

Whatever about the team who generally I've a lot of time for, with the attitude Jones has toward the media, he'll deserve every bit.

I don't think they will. It's different now, like the soccer lads.

As an aside, I'd say if you told any South Africans in 1995 when they won that the next time they won a world cup it'd be lifted by a black captain you would've either been a) laughed at or b) lynched.

And you’d have been wrong too

I need to examine my predujices. I'm delighted to see England lose.

There's more than a little hubris to the English progress through the RWC. I think their brilliance last week had them thinking they just needed to show up.

That makes felix Jones the most successful international Irish coach ever?
