Nobody understands rugby, you just roll with it.

No, it's never exciting.

It sucked that when I was trying not to be bored by the game, I kept seeing the "EDF" advert on the side of the pitch and kept thinking about the El Diablo Forum.

It was a decent match when you consider the styles of the teams involved. Lots of big men smashing each other at the breakdown and the little men kicking the ball heaps.

Obviously running freeflowing rugby is generally more entertaining for viewers who aren't die hard rugby fans. One day we'll see something like Fiji vs Australia (yeah, I'm biased) in the final and it'll be amazing.

It was a bad match from the point of view of the outsider looking in, in that there wasn't massive amounts of attacking play to excite them. The seasoned spectator could pick up on multiple occasions of excellent defence, tactical kicking, etc etc.

But yes, that was rigged, Cueto scored a perfectly good try

Looked like English guy was NOT in touch when he pushed the ball over the line ( he did, didnt he?) because he lifted his foot up just before he went over the line.

Still, South-Africa was the better team and deserved the win.

gg England,

CONGRATULATIONS SOUTH-AFRICA!!

Really failed to see why it was not given, his foot was in the air as it went over the line,and don't think his knee touched it. Felt pretty bad for England which takes alot for me. The game changed after that.
