Bring on the Taffies for the final.

Prior to this game my heart was an England Wales final, my head told me NZ v Wales.
I'm convinced it will be Wales joining us in the final.

I think NZ will win. Even now.

Otis, with that level of predictory skill can I suggest you look left and right at least half a dozen times before you attempt crossing even a very quiet road today?

And a late runner coming through on the inside to genuinely challenge the England one day cricket team for the title of 'team of the year' in the otherwise bloody awful SPOTY programme.

Think they will be spoilt for choice this year - possibly Hamilton won’t get nominated for his hypocritical Instagram mystery last weekend

Are we the best sporting nation in the world at present?

We always have been.

 

[CJ_covblaze]

We always have been.

There’s certainly a lot that backs that up

No, we are pretty poor at Badminton and table-tennis.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

No, we are pretty poor at Badminton and table-tennis.

But that's only because it's not called whiff-whaff anymore.

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

No, we are pretty poor at Badminton and table-tennis.

We won at Badminton this year, Piggy French riding Vanir Kamira.

That sounds more like something you would find in my friend's PornHub search history.

If England play like they did yesterday can't see South Africa beating them.

 

[Mcbean]

Different game this morning - little running all kicking - aweful

 

[bringbackrattles]

South Africa will not be able to stop our attacking play, so they will play a negative game no doubt. In other words boring rugby !

Really disappointing game today, Wales made the wrong decision in getting involved in a kicking match. Looked fairly dangerous ball in hand but played the opposition’s game rather than taking the initiative. SA shouldn’t be a problem for England in the final, should be far superior tactically to the Welsh.

Everyone has been superior to the Welsh since 1283.

If you've still got the receipt, I think you should get a refund on that digital watch, Otis.

Trouble is we will not be able to employ the same tactic against SA as we did NZ. Plough in early they just pass it back further & kick over us. They are masters at winning ugly with their current squad, although they also have some great flair players they can call on. So even if we play as well as yesterday, they won't be easy to beat...they are happy to just keep grinding away & kicking the penalties

If England take that Faf de Klerk out of the game early doors then we’ll be fine.

Violently as well, because he reminded me of Craig Bellamy for some reason. He was either hoof or wind up tactics.

We need to kill him, if only for the opportunity for someone to say 'I shot de Klerk' Cousin Vinnie style.

Why Nigel Owens is not involved at all in the Rugby World Cup final

Brilliant that the cheating twat isn't in charge on Saturday

 

[bringbackrattles]

Wales coach Gatland and Eddie Jones love to wind each other up. Gatland reckons England played their final already v the All Blacks. Love the return from Eddie " Send my wishes to Gatland, I hope he enjoys the third-place match. "

What nonsense. Owens is the best referee in the world.

He surely is, isn't he?

 

[Mcbean]

Garcias can be odd at times - Toby fair I have a lot of respect for all of them - they are calm , you can hear them taking decisions and their reasons - sooner football goes this way in the prem the better - not sure what the answer for our league is as there are just too many games and we get poorly trained idiots - only a few make the big time - in Rugby it’s just 10 worldwide

 

[scottccfc]

as much as I think England will steam roll south Africa, my head is saying whoever plays the ref the best will get the win!

 

[Adge]

Rugby is not really my thing-what time is it on then-Saturday 9am?

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

South Africa looking very strong, will be a tough ask for England!

I’m probably about the only one who really doesn’t care!

 

[Tommo1993]

RSA defence is something else. What are they hiding behind that try line?!

 

[Otis]

Geez, England's game is error-riddled. We have been awful at times. Stupid penalities, wayward passes, kicks straight out of play.

Only one way this is going to go unless we change something and buck up our ideas.

 

[bringbackrattles]

South Africa playing well. England look short of ideas at the moment.

 

[Otis]

Yes, South Africa have been very good, but geez, we are doing our very best to help them.

 

[no_loyalty]

We are giving too many penalties away, haven't really got going yet, the South Africa defence has been immense.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Effective rugby but boring as buggery style. If the rest of the game pans out like this England lose and it is a poor advertisement for the game. Really want England to win, obviously - but f we are to lose, hope the 'depression; spreads to The Wasps 'support' (that's the miserable side of me coming out!)
