I'm fearing for my finger nails!
Well **** my old boots, who'd have thought?
Well I i wasn't expecting that score at half time!
Not exactly exciting but SA not being allowed to play they probably want to.
It’s the hope that kills you.
Very much this. 😳😬😬😬😬😬
It’s a lucky sofa now !! 🫣 but for how long? 🥴
Little tense but not a great first half. Still we’ve finished the first half in the lead, England can never been ruled out completely.
How smug are all the predictors feeling now? 🤔
Not over yet
This game is ****ing dire.
Stick it up the jumper lads
How smug are all the predictors feeling now?
Easy now. They’ve just learned our game plan, likely a very different 40 mins to come.
Big call to put Pollard on – probably right though, but why the hell not start with him?
They’ve always had a habit of not knowing what to do at no.10… remember when they always picked Elton Jantjies and he was hopeless!
They usually make substitutions in batch too, don’t they? Ol Razzy seems to be having a mare 😁
Shittest game of the tournament, easily.
I landed in Paris this afternoon, it was 40mph winds and pissing down.
If we can get another 3………..
Well, that’ll do!!😎
Can someone who knows about rugby explain why SA are always kicking the ball away when it's clearly not working?
South Africa obviously still not recovered after the brutal physical pounding they took from Scotland a few weeks ago. Well that’s what my glass of whisky has just told me. 😀
English scrum beginning to creak
Aren't SA just really terrible today?
Edit: just noticed how much it's raining.
Dull yes. Six penalties and a drop goal FFS.
Like watching paint dry for a neutral this. Good on England though but **** my boots it's dull.
Where's that ****ing sofa!!!
Bugger.
Oops
Fair enough, SA are clearly the better side. If England pull this off it will be a hard fought - and deserved - miracle.
Hold it together lads!
Now it's interesting.
Double bugger!
Bugger ☹️
Brave from England, but felt inevitable once the English scrum started to struggle.
Ah Bollocks
Unlucky England. Won in the front row replacements
Why did they go down the blind side on that last play?
And the commentators still only talking about England... It's the disrespect that really annoys me.
Bollocks! Well played England.
Final should be good at least

Who do you think SA commentators are talking about?
One point. Ah, man, thats painful.
Ahhhhhh, what a way to go out! <br /><br />
Never good to lose, but England did better than anyone expected. <br /><br />
At least one STW miseryguts might have cheered up a bit
Well played South Africa
Who do you think SA commentators are talking about?
I haven't listened to them but I do listen to the other home nations commentators on their matches talking fairly about the game that's being played rather than cheering their side like this lot do.
Anyway, England were a lot better this game than before. And it's always hard to lose like that.
Exciting finish to an awful game. I feel sorry for England, thought they were marginally the better side.

🤣🙄
England first half tactics the same as second half, kick and hope to force errors, then the crumbling scrum and absolutely no ball handling or creativity. Yeah it was wet, but isn't the normal season through winter when it usually rains lots anyway. That throw in from George should be the meme for the game.
I've been watching Irish TV for this game. It's nuanced and balanced. The commentators aren't unbiased but they're commentators instead of cheerleaders. Ben O'Keefe is getting slated right now by the studio pundits.
