Yet again, when England need leadership, Owen Farrell fails to deliver.

In truth, it’s a complete humping.

Walk in...past Faz.
Eng 12 - 32 SA 75 mins.
damage limitation now.

SA have been tremendous, fair play to them. But my God we've been gash.

Seems to have fallen back into petulant ways when talking to Garces as well

We’ve embarrassed ourselves IMO. This can’t be over quickly enough.

Out-thought and out-played.

I blame Eddie simply for not bringing through a SH who plays the role like he wants them to.

Edit - Also FB

Eng back 4 haven't had a sniff all game.
SA defence immaculate.

Is Eddie still smiling? Haven't seen him for a while.

DG attempt? They’re 20 points up!

Rugby is so lame, wtf is wrong with you all getting upset at this
(I need a hug).

SA have been very solid. We have been shit.

Record RWC final margin is 23.

Agreed

Comprehensive in the end, but probably looks worse on the scoreboard than it really was. An ideal match for South Africa. Shut England down, got remarkable forward dominance, and got away in the end.

Really great Springbok defence was the key. England never really got going.

Congratulations South Africa. They’re a really tough rwc side.

Bottled it. Nervous from the off, making silly decisions and never got settled.

Look what you’ve done. They’ve won 3 now, and have never lost a final.

100%. Just did not turn up.

It hurts even more that Gatland was right ...

Was a single player worth more than 4/10?

Outplayed and out coached. Too many players disappeared and/or played poorly.

Credit to the Boks- physicality and intensity, very few errors and great defence.

Some chickens came home to roost there. Appalling execution from key players. Our kicking was terrible all game, hardly anything was contestable, in stark contrast to last week and SA's kicking today. Awesome defence from SA and we dithered yet again. Did I mention chickens?

I don't know how we can save so many basic mistakes up for one game, and this game at that.

Ha!

Puts Wales loss by three points in the semi into perspective. We even scored a smart try against them.

Did you choke or was the loss of Sinckler the biggest blow to the game plan?

Commiserations, see you in the 6N.
