Are SA seriously going to win this without scoring a full half and with the benefit of completely false decision.

But I wasn't the one who brought up Ireland in a game they are not involved in. If you don't like the truth then use the ignore button 👍

Winning ugly is still winning. Was there for NZ but wouldn’t blame Jordan for missing the pen.

Faf de Klerk has been superb. Breaks down the short side, blocking clearance kicks and tackling like a demon.
MotM for me.

Disappointing final in one way, a seriously enthralling and tense game nonetheless.

Awful stuff you'd have to say for a final. The real matches were two weeks ago.

I haven’t mentioned ireland btw.
But you chose to have a cheap dig there and then double down on it.

Gutted. Well done SA, but devastated to know we missed 5 kickable points and they were gifted 3 points by a Barnes howler.
Sport is cruel.

New Zeland can squarely lay the blame on Sam Cane.

Congrats to SA.
Not a great final but finals rarely are.
