Literally the lamest final possible.

You lucky SA bastards! NZ will hammer you.

That second half South Africa scrum is brutal. Just total domination. The final penalty could have gone either way but sadly if you're off the back of giving away 5 scrum penalties you're not going to get any benefit of the doubt in a 50/50 call.
Also, why is Farrell captain? His temper tantrum gifted SA 3 crucial points.

Glad to see this is still a competitive match, you never know what to expect from 3rd place play offs. Argentina playing really well to force gaps in the England line, but I reckon England will probably still see them off.

Yup, really glad both sides really want to win. But after last week, I’m seriously unimpressed by England.

To be honest, right now Argentina really deserve to win this.

All the potential to be an absolute cracker tonight. Hoping NZ win but above all just want a match worthy of the whole competition.

Gotta love the absolute shithousery that South Africa have pulled winning every knockout game by 1 point. Absolute bastard's champions.
That game felt like it went on for hours, but in a good way. Real close fought stuff.

Thought it was a decent tournament overall. Who'd have thought that going into the final four, England would be in there, and the only unbeaten team left 
The SF was great for 75 mins, and then gut-wrenching at the end, but that's rugby I guess. The final was decent enough, again SA doing just enough. Most rugby I've watched in a few years now, and it was good to get back into it.
Not sure I'm really seeing the benefit of this new tournament that's been announced. Time will tell I guess, but seems a bit pointless (other than as a money-making exercise, which I guess might be the objective).
For anyone who missed it:

6 Nations is just around the corner guys! 
A friend won tickets to England v Wales and offered me his extra ticket which is great! Very low expectations for Wales given the team they've announced and the strength of the other teams thi year. But who knows. My mates a bit England fan so could be a long day
Netflix have also released their 6 Nations documentary today, hoping to get through it all before the tournament kicks off.
Also no mention of LRZ going off to America to try and crack the NFL in here. A decision I did not see coming but I hope it works out for him (I have little to no knowledge of NFL ).
