Well done England, you won the title two years in a row straight. Showed more intent to play with the ball where as the baby boks seem to be to reliant a territory game. To me it also looked like the boks back line were to flat and often got the numbers wrong o out wide.

All the youngsters will be fine as long as we put them straight into he Bok team. Congratulations to England....perhaps they should start thinking of rugby as the national game!

Haven' t watched the game, but I just across this....Dave and Mike please explain:

 

"England's first try, right on the stroke of half-time, came after a missed tackle by Andre Esterhuizen. England piled on the pressure and quick recycling allowed No.11 Nathan Earle to stroll over on the opposite wing. Burns was wide with the conversion and England took a one-point (11-10) lead into the break."

 Yes, we should have won this. England handled the preasure better, which is surprising as the Boks had a real tester against NZ, which should have prepared them better for the final. With 1 in it with 1min to go, I thought we had it in the bag. Great defence by the poms!

england and SA were the tournament favourites after the first week.

u could tell that the saffas and pom were on a slightly higher level then the others.

congrats to the poms for a good win, and congrats to the baby Boks who had a great tournament despite the final fumble.
