Phenomenal! What a performance! Underhill and Itoje stood out but the whole team did their country proud today.

Unbelievable. Absolutely bossed them. Best defensive display I've ever seen from England. Scoreline flattered NZ! On to the final, bring it home gents! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌹

Wales so poor there. Played into springboks hands by kicking so much. Never really got it wide.

England favourites for final but South Africa can pund a team down

We'll win it providing we don't make the same mistakes Wales and Japan did.

All South Africa try and do is suck the life out of the game and grind you down to their level. As long as we don't fall into that trap and just focus on playing our Rugby we should win with relative ease.

Jerome Garces was extremely poor again today. Now Wales are out hopefully we can avoid Garces and get Owens for the final.

I'd much rather Garces than Owens.
Garces gets a lot of s*** just for being French, Owens is awful for England.

England have been sucked into playing South Africas game so far.

Yup. Nervy start and an ugly game so far.

Not the greatest spectacle of a final but Springboks playing thier game and winning. England have to force open play or it's over.

The better team won but what an awful game. Scrums are a complete farce, South Africa were just sabotaging the scrum knowing they'll get the penalty. At this point they should just get rid of them.

I couldn't work out what the game plan was for England in the first half apart from matching SA for kicking penalties.

Given how well England played against the All Blacks a week before I was expecting them to kick into that mindset in the second half but they just played the same t** for tat game and played into SA hands.

Crap final as a spectacle but the better team won and thankfully there were some tries.
