Well done to your team Becs....we seem to have developed an unwarranted swagger about our rugby. The last senior international competition we won was in 2009....a bit more humility might not go amiss.

There was nothing special in the England performance at all. We were just awful....two yellows set the tone. My guess is the side thought they would walk it. There was no passion or aggression.

Thank you, Mozart. We had improved drastically from our previous performances in the tournament and showed a bit of desire there and some decent spirit. What riled me, as it does in all levels of the game, was the mass subs and then the inevitable flurry of scores from the opposition. That was galling indeed. We've given ourselves a chance, that is all. We'll need to play a lot better than that if we want to win against NZ. But, you have to ride your luck sometimes, so maybe we'll get some from somewhere
Saffex is just grumpy now....he told me to shut up earlier

Well done to your side, Becs. They were the better side on the day, there are no excuses from this scribe.

Oh thank you all.....I certainly didn't expect us to win. Thought I would be coming to wish you all well in the Final and to say you would be getting my support as usual !!
As for Saffex....I'm used to him being an old grump ! And an ungentlemanly one at that !!

Hear, hear Becs but lets give Saffex credit for being a genuine Bok supporter - unlike ou rooitwit the closet ab supporter.The Junior Boks had a tired ga me. Yellows cards and handling cost them the game.

Oh I know how much Saffex loves his Rugby ! He forgets that I do too....and we are usually on opposing sides !!
