England deserve to win this final as they played the best and I am rooting for them to get it done. But there is so many good stories around a South Africa win too. Hoping for a good match.

What's the deal? He's free to support whoever he wants and wish whatever team he isn't supporting to lose. There is really nothing to be triggered about :lol:
Of course he can, and I’m free to tell him to bore off.

Surprised by the start. England look a bit nervous and SA playing with confidence. Got to settle down here

Strong start by South Africa. They’re winning the territorial battle.

Jesus, getting absolutely battered and we are passing terribly. Not a good combo

Feet up at home.
At least you are only 3 down. Plenty of time to sort things out.

I never thought you would run away with this after last week there was too much assumption going on even from the pundits right after the final whistle.

I know very little about rugby, only the the basic rules and seen maybe 20 games in my whole life. Watching cos England are in a sporting final.

So far, after 20 Mins, England seem inhibited, tense, like they are playing the occasion and not the opposition.

South Africa seem to be free of nerves and playing with confidence and freedom.

Is that what is happening?

Pretty much. They're making basic errors and are off the pace.

Its still close so with a bit of momentum and a couple of things going their way they could turn it around.

St Africa came flying out of the blocks against NZ for 20 mins or so and then fell away.

It'll be tight either way

Pretty much our usual game plan. If a strong team can stop us in the first 20, they should be able to win. We didn’t take advantage of that early pressure.

We are all over the place. Not even doing the basics.

This is so frustrating, England haven’t turned up and look overwhelmed by the occasion.

England lucky just to down by 3 - as awful as we’ve been. Talking about a huge let down. Still time to turn this around

SA are 2 for 2 in finals, my money is on them making it 3 for 3

Heading to South Africa next week so I want them to win for the buzz.
I’m in Knysna at the moment, it’s really something to witness. Great atmosphere, shame I don’t know the first thing about rugby. Came here to check whether England are playing are as bad as I thought they were.
