The Wallies were largely physically dominated except for a few clever bits of counter attack. The poor Welsh guys were lying all over the park after the collisions.
The Poms had little to offer except muscle and the boot....and dirty play. Highlighted by the Joe Marler penis grab.
Two ordinary teams.
"......and it is something they no team can do week on week."
The POMS played out of their skins against the All Blacks, it was their grand final, to repeat that same performance they would have needed to field a whole new team. Take nothing away from them, they are a damn good side.
England didn't need to repeat that performance, they needed to produce a different kind of performance. That was their undoing. They were the more potent attacking side, the Boks simply took that superior arsenal out of the picture. Essentially, the scrum won the game. No scrum dominance and we likely lose that final.
Simplicity and idiotc assumption are back in all their glory. He saw nothing and learned nothing from the WC last year and as per normal did not understand what happened at all. So now the scrum dominance won the game? No wonder one can just enjoy and laugh at the standard idiocy spout by some of our members. Welcome back AO - your first series of postings were the same a it always was - a joke!!!! LMAO
Scrum dominance did win the game. England’s front row was penalized 5 times.....but they still dominated territory and possession. The failure of their scrum totally unhinged their best attacking options and demoralized their team.
Scrums and defence won the match....not the ‘ball in hand’ rugby you and other fools have been calling for Wanker.
I’m a great fan of Vermeulen, but the Beast won that test....and our scrum dominance left the park when Kitshoff came on for the Beast.
Foeitog the idiots missed the two tries scored by the Springboks which added 14 points to the total score of the Springboks.
Scrum dominance and defense was important contributors of the win - but the way the game was planned and the measures to ensure dominance was part of the game plan, was in even greater contributors to the victory - especially bearing in mind the victory margin, .
The total planning scenario was way ahead of what was previously produced in WC's and was way ahead of what England expected to happen in the final. They prepared to attack the Springboks weak spots and there were very few of those in the game.
However, the latter is way ahead of your normal thinking process so maybe you would learn something of importance and not stick to simpleton deductions.
Same shapes, same plays. Nothing new under the sun. Scrum dominance, set piece dominance. That was the beginning and end of the matter.
The tries were counter attack tries....the result of mistakes created by pressure. Traditional Springbok rugby....nothing new .
Simplicity and stupidity rolled into one moronic duo. What else can one expect from those two/ .
Ha ! No refutation? The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Why did I say Simplicity and stupidity? Because it is true. These two morons tried to discredit the Springboks constantly in the past and was hoping for a England in,
Then AO disappeared from site for three months and for hours there was no message of congratulations by Mozart and he was forced to provide one only after being forced to provide one.
We all saw how bad the Springboks winning the Rugby Championship performance of the Springboks were compared to the 2015 series in which SA lost all three matches. Obviously the idiots were desperate to discredit Erasmus as a coach compared top his two immediate predecessors,
After the World Cup win there were numerous postings by Mozart implying that the Springboks did not deserve to win the WC, He criticized endlessly the fact that World Rugby decided that -
* Team of the Year was the Springboks;
* Erasmus was the coach of the year; and
* after an evaluation by a Committee of experts decided on P=S du Toit being the layer of the year.
The cowardly AO conveniently for him vanished for the site and when he eventually returned his first posting was clearly an affront to what really happened and why the Springboks win the WC. His approach was as stupid as it always was - the Springboks only won the WC because of superiority in the scrums. Mozart was quick to credit the Beast as the only reason why there was scrum superiority.
Mozart has always had one objective in all their postings about the WC - namely to discredit Erasmus as a coach and lied endlessly about Du Toit - even more so than eh used to, The Cowardly AO came up with a similar story afterwards - scrumming superiority - keep quiet about the rest an hope nobody would point it out/ Keep quiet about the matter may have given the coward absentee time to come up with a simplistic excuse for the Springboks winning the WC,
They could not look at the full reason for this according to them catastrophe and would avoid like a plague -
* anything where Erasmus was to be credited with superior coaching;
* how poor the attacking ability of the Springboks backline was despite the fact that the team was responsible for the highest number of tries scored in the tournament and that 66% of all tries scored was by backline players; and
* anything where player like Du Toit and De Allende was involved in.
The fact is that all Mozart did was to discredit the Springbok win and to criticize key players in the tournament and for he most stupid coward ever to start with his normal BS
Their contributions became funnier and funnier - so eepnthem comin. LMAO
In 2018 and 2019 the Boks were bottom in almost all attacking stats. England structure opportunities, the Boks rely on an individual to do something on their own. Big difference. If the defence can keep the scores close, maybe it works out, but not always. Look at the final and see the muddled running lines on attack, in the second most dominant test of the Rassie era.Where were the Boks in each individual attacking statistical category in the World Cup? Nowhere? Interesting, so much better, yet no output. That's the typical plastic fan model. Just forceful emotive straining.

AO is complete idiot and in all his former user names spouted the same repetitive nonsense, He is totally clueless and pretend his interpretation as to what happened in games is ridiculous. He has been at the BS ever since Erasmus was appointed as coach and went so far at one stage claiming that Coetzee is a better coach than Erasmus,
He is the idiot who also claimed that -
* Meyer had a game plan catering for more attacking backline attacks;
* Morne Steyn was on par with Carter as a flyhalf in correcting his previous statement that Steyn was a better player;
* That the Springboks in 2015 in losing all three RC matches performed better than they did in 2019 when winning the RC with ease;
* That De Allende has "weak" upper body strength and should never be in the Springboks squad despite claims by experts that De Allende is the key player in both backline attacks and defense;
* He joined Mozart in his total attacks on the worlds highest rated player in 2019 - again decided on by a Committee of experts from 8 different countries.
There is two things obvious as to AO, namely -
* he is so stupid his contributions are always good for a laugh; and
* whatever he writes just accept the exact opposite to what he writes as factual'.
AO has one stand-out ability - he is a total rugby idiot,

May 17, 2017, 11:11What about the 20 000 idiotic posts of yours on this site? In any event that was written ion 2017 after Pollard did not lay any rugby for near to 16 months and there was doubts about his potential performances. Your total addiction to idiocy is every day of the year and has never changed since 2012.
Exactly.....Pollard had been through a life threatening situation and a devastating injury and you were so inherently anti Pollard you never gave him a chance. Stupid and nasty.
Listen dunce - I wrote repeatedly that Pollard will have to prove himself as being worthy of selection and once he was selected I never said anything negative about him. Unlike you and your idiotic remarks about players like De Allende and Du Toit, I accept that he did prove himself of being worthy of selection. .
