"England must have known and planned for the SA scrum ?"

Probably expected to be executing other areas better so it wouldn't be such a factor.

England need concerted time on the ball or they will run out of time

SA have played ugly rugby and it hasn't looked skilled but they've got a job done.

Can hardly call it a beautiful game but it's worked so fair play to them for the tactics. We should have beaten them last weekend, England should have easily beaten them today but they stuck to their strengths and it's worked so can't really knock them for it.

Someone has to come second, this year it was us, and the only way to see it is as a positive for the England team is that at least we got into the final, it wasn’t a good start for us and it’s hard to keep fighting off the back foot, at the end of the tournament it is what it is, much love to all the teams, I’ve enjoyed watching it all

"SA deserved to win the game no doubt.

But it’s poor rugby to watch. Some will say that’s professional sport it’s winning that matters. But you want a little running rugby and some skills and there was none from SA"

Oh I dunno, their 2 tries didn't exactly come from attritional multi phase play

"Well done George Ford - he's just lost in a World Cup final and being asked what went wrong. Would be so easy to be monosyllabic but he did well

Someone has to come second, this year it was us, and the only way to see it is as a positive for the England team is that at least we got into the final, it wasn’t a good start for us and it’s hard to keep fighting off the back foot, at the end of the tournament it is what it is, much love to all the teams, I’ve enjoyed watching it all "

That's unnecessary.

England had a good world Cup and I'm proud of the boys for that. Beyond that the other home nations will have their day.

Congratulations to SA, they played well today and deserve the win.

Cant manhandle the South Africans, cant pull the jersey and shorts off them in the Ruck, cant intimidate them and disrespect them, and the England game falls apart.

Meanwhile South African hit and hit and hit and hit, just waiting for the dangerous fast guys to get a proper chance then strike.

i don't begrudge the south africans anything today..... they played and executed their gameplan a lot better than the english... and they make others play at their tempo and make them feel uncomfortable...

the rugby fan know how south africa play, its not a surprise, teams didn't do a good job of countering it...

well done siya!!! his story alone is worth turning into a movie!

Unfortunately you won't see these players as there is a mass exodus after this tournament. A new coach will have to start again with new players. This was pretty much our last hurrah.
