It’s Jones’ bloody master plan, isn’t it… one plan to beat SA. Now Slarti Bartfarst can use it.
I'm so sorry

Referee refuses to ref the final few minutes. Showing why an average ref shouldn't be given a semi final.

No tries for SA. Better than we expected. Pushed them to the limit. A different (better) ref and maybe that swings our way.

Please sack Mullins and Kay almost as biased as Phil Vickery and at least he had the good sense to stop his commentary career :)

I mean, we can talk about whether Farrell should play for England (no) but surely Sinkler and Vunipola can't be given any more chances?

Farrell is responsible for that loss for giving them a kickable pen by getting us marched back 10m for being a cunt

Comiserations, but well done England, a real performance and a real contest.

Simples..SA reserve pack vastly superior to Eng at scrumtime.
Steward's poor kick sealed it at the crucial time.
Well done SA.
Well done Eng for making a game of it, helped by the weather.
Never looked like scoring a try, has to be said.

Genge and Sinckler good carriers but not great at bread and butter of scrummaging

Second front row no up to it.

Billy cannot keep ball in contact


But that said they had a limited team and coaches constructed a very limited game plan. And it almost worked.

Koch has done what any prop would when he realises the ref isn't interested in him.

It's all ifs and buts, that last Steward kick, when we'd just had joy killing their momentum by kicking longer was a killer error.

So who says 10-man rugby is dead?
England lost that when they subbed the two starting props. Their replacements were absolutely munched in the scrums. That said, for the final SA scrum penalty that won the game, their TH was boring like hell.
