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.

He did in his hoop. NZ got plenty of 50:50 calls in that second half or are we just supposed to ignore the forward pass for their try.

"Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"

We haven't won a quarter final ever in the world cup. We are the spurs of world rugby

Barnes should be sent to the permanent sin bin. Biggest clown in world rugby.

PSDT immense out there tonight. Thought SA were poor in second half. Had an extra man for 50mins+ and were lucky to get over the line. Bench selection backfired. Little impact aside from Smith who was excellent.

That penalty in the first half was 3 points to SA. It made the difference today.
