    All logic points to an England victory but this is the Boks and there's no team quite like them historically who can grind out a win.

    Bizarre. They've had a week to prepare but still read it from a script.

    Do South Africa stand any realistic chance? Feels like its a case of how much England win by not if they win.

    England would be heavy favourites. SA can front up to England's power and England need 70%+ of what they did against NZ. If it's below that it's game on.

    The only question for me is did England peak and have their world cup final last week. Likewise South Africa have not had a stormer yet - we haven't yet seen the saffer team that beat NZ and England twice last year. Will they show up for this?

    All logic points to an England win but...

    Kind of seeing this like the Rassie led Munster games v Saracens.

    We believe the packs are equal but when it comes down to it the English will be too powerful I believe. Expect a relatively close first half but England will pull away in second and win by 13 points.

    Have had money on England since the end of the 6 nations. Just felt they had the full squad to go all the way.

    Think South Africa should've gone to the corner with that penalty if Pollards a bit nervous about kicking?

    I think I have watched far too much uk political coverage, because I am sure I just heard "Oh jeremy corbyn" being belted out by the crowd there.

    Yeah, I thought it may have been an elbow. Pity for him though, he's had a decent cup.

    Did he catch Itoje’s arm, or was it into Mapimpi’s hip?

    Hard to even see where the head contact was

    Didn't mean in an infringing way. De Klerk had the ball available but took his time and let forwards set up before playing. Setting a slow pace to the game.

    Aye not a fan of Sinckler but rotten luck for him. Two minutes into your dream game.

    I don’t think rugby supporters who can afford a trip to the RWC final would be a fertile ground for labour votes :P
