    The England players taking their silver medals off or hiding them under their shirts.
    Is it me or does this seem a little disrespectful

    Well done South Africa, world cup champions.

    Well done Japan, excellent hosts.

    You get the feeling that for the Springboks this was much more than winning a game of rugby or indeed the World Cup. Let's hope that some of these sentiments will help to shape a better South Africa.

    Yes he was, but I was disappointed that he had to make that remark. Even if he believed it, he should have kept that to himself. Stooping to the Eddie Jones level there! So pleased that we don't have to suffer the latter's smug, arrogant face today. Also the result put the Wales defeat into perspective - no disgrace in losing by just 3 points against the Cup Final winners!

    At least the kind of defeat they suffered means they can't lord it over us.

    England's game plan is to put opposition under pressure early so they conceded a set-piece, play a set routine to lead to an early score and then continue to batter the opposition physically. The only sides they have lost to have managed to stop them scoring early and stood up to their physicality, their most impressive victory in the semi was against a side who didn't think they needed to concern themselves with stopping England and the other teams beaten this World Cup didn't seem to engage their brains fully either. Due to the injuries Wales suffered, I don't think we would have won in a final against England but I do think the Welsh side of the 6 Nations (not as many games over such a short period of time, fewer injuries) would have had a really good chance in the final against the England side of the World Cup. It's been a really great tournament overall.

    It will be really interesting to see what happens next. I reckon Ireland and France will be England's biggest challenge in the next 6 Nations.

    Agree with a lot of that Surge but why do we get so many injuries?
    Personally I think Ireland are on the way down and think we and France will challenge England in the Six Nations.

    Agree the Ireland have a complete rebuild on, think England will also start to revamp ready for France in 4 years.

    I worry that we could do a Man U post Fergie and really struggle.

    Championships are built on defence and whilst the Scarlets struggled last year mainly through injury, the loss of Edwards may hurt us.

    Agreed yet our defence in this World Cup was not as good as it has been. I would have preferred Edwards to have stayed.
