They’re going to win aren’t they.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a team not show up like the Boks have tonight. Outside of the scrum in the last 10 minutes they can’t do a thing right, and persisting with the kicking game is just playing into England’s hands.

Yep , with their brand of suffocating rugby. I hope they do win so they meet the all blacks. I had bets worth a right few quid on South Africa.

The all blacks will see to them .

Well our boys didn't show up v Argentina, England are flat track but it was an undeserved win for SA

I don't care who wins the World Cup as long as it's not NZ

I had every faith the Boks would smash them lol.

A City defeat and an England win on the same day would have been too much to stomach. Phew !!

Looking from afar it might seem some Welsh rugby fans want England to lose more than they want Wales to win

It's been embarrassing on radio Wales the last few days

I could deal with England winning the rugby World Cup, it really isn't important

But England winning THE World Cup.......that would be difficult 😂

You’ve got to give England credit for rattling South Africa in a way no one could have predicted, but. I make it that they only outscored their opponents in tries in two out of six matches.

They did more than that bob , they were within minutes of beating them

We couldn't even beat Argentina

Strangely South Africa played to England's strength in the air but they just got their act together in time.

Really dislike Lawrence Dallaglio and his one-eyed view of everything England so I wasn't surprised when he said postmatch that the referee won South Africa the game not the Boks. What a c*ck.
