Re: RWC 2019 Final: England vs South Africa Match Thread
we’re lost. Our scrum is awful, our tactics(?) are terrible, Youngs is useless and Daley isnt a full back.

World rugby should present the trophy to Garces at the end of the game. That stupid prick kills the flow and the game is all about his whistle

He is also not being very consistent at the breakdown.
Re: RWC 2019 Final: England vs South Africa Match Thread
Underhill has been right as well but England's playmakers are totally absent. Getting beasted up front though

Fotunate to only be 6 points down tbh.
Re: RWC 2019 Final: England vs South Africa Match Thread
I'm honestly surprised just how much of a skull fúcking the English scrum is getting.

England’s worst half by far all tournament, yet still only down by six.

Deserved half time lead for the Boks. England's turn to be manshamed up front. Interesting.

Springbock hands in every ruck, also they can hold on at will. The opposite for England.JPNZ wrote:Keith wrote:Garces only reffing one side. f**king disgrace.

How Garces got the final
Worst advertisement for rugby.
Rucks are a mess
Scrums a shambles.
This is the most dour final and mainly cause of the ref

My biggest issue with Englands longest penalty advantage in history of the game is SAs earlier was possibly the shortest in history of the game.
Re: RWC 2019 Final: England vs South Africa Match Thread
Every call he made is correct. England have just been pulled into the SA game and cant get started.ihavenopantson wrote:World rugby should present the trophy to Garces at the end of the game. That stupid prick kills the flow and the game is all about his whistle
Not one single fucin backline move in 40 minutes.

SA 12-6 England at the half.
SA easily good for that. Dominant except for England's purple patch.
Surprised at that scrum dominance! SA playing harder. England making mistakes under pressure.

Boks well worth their lead. Eng with missed opportunities. Who has the most gas in the tank?

Boks have this on a platter.

Got to take some risks second half. Scrum is so shit we've got no chance in a kicking contest

Youngs and Daly. It's as if we knew.
Re: RWC 2019 Final: England vs South Africa Match Thread
Thrilling forward battle what a defensive effort by the Boks this first half. England starting to crack under that immense pressure, it's showing on Eddie's face.
Re: RWC 2019 Final: England vs South Africa Match Thread
Awesome Boks; the crushing of the English spirit is bringing a big smile to me face. Great rugby.

If they get a scrum early in the second half they can probably see out the match under the advantage.Seneca of the Night wrote:It is, they can just about get a penalty at will now.Auckman wrote:This Springbok scrum is a world cup-winning scrum.

Remember conceding a cynical penalty 1 metre from your own try line is in no way a yellow card offense.RandomNavigat0r wrote:How Garces got the final![]()

Sinkler's KO didn't help, but I still didn't expect to see England get so comprehensively out-scrummed.

It's encouraging to see a game where a referee isn't intimidated and referees the English properly
