Flags at half-mast, muffle the drums and black armbands all-round...
England thoroughly deserved the win; ABs didn't seem to have a game plan.
God help us now.
Final - England vs Wales ?
Dunno - tomorrow's game could go either way, but I'd lean towards SA going through
AAAARGH ! X_X X_X
What happened ?

England deserved winners, as they completely outplayed the All Blacks. I hope Wales win tomorrow, but I've got a nasty feeling that the South African pack will be too strong...

Ahhhhhhh, close but no cigar!
Now Wales & AB have to play the most un-wanted, un-needed game ever.
It does seem a bit pointless...
No, Dave.....Totally pointless. ;)
I can't imagine any team wanting to play for third place.
Down to TV wanting their pound of flesh, I suppose ;D ;D ;D
I guess England will be the favourites.....But.....The 'Boks have the ability to cause an upset.
We'll see.

Not the best game to watch; in fact I ended up gardening half way through the first half, due to all the kicking. From what I saw, SA the better team though. Might watch the thrid place play off, but pointless as others have said. I fancy England in the final, which will be very tractical I fear, unless they can get a good lead on the Boks, causing them to attack more.
Wow! Not one, but both wheels fell off that chariot today. Quite comprehensive in the end. Glad somebody scored some tries. Well done, Springboks! =D>
Springboks completely controlled the game and deserved winners. England never in the game. The New Zealand vs Wales third place match was a better game to watch to be honest.
Drat. I was hoping we'd lose to a rank outsider.

I concur.
So do I !
England almost looked puzzled, at times......and were never 'firing on all six'.
The better team won.
