If SA can turn the final into as much of a mess as that, it will be closer than people think.

Fucking hell, you can tell you’ve only been watching rugby for a few years.

We also did have another option, did you miss that sub.

What game plan would you have come up with genius.

Pretty much anything other than the plan of kick it and drop it.

But actually putting the ball through the hands a bit might have been worth a try no?

Calm down anyway squire. Your anger clearly shows your 'indifference' to the result is a front.

The comments on here you’d think people have just watched SA for the first time in their lives.

Wow.

Just Wow.

You’re embarrassing yourself mate.

Maybe send your CV in to take over Eddie. You clearly know more than Gatland and we got absolutely slaughtered that game.

Well if you think it was a good idea to try and arm-wrestle the strongest team in the tournament then fair enough.

Considering South Africa won without playing well at all I'd say it's fairly clear it didn't work.

If England do the same next weekend I'll be almost as narked as you clearly are.

May I just say that @E17yid does not speak for the whole of Wales when saying a big part of him would rather south Africa won as they'll give England a better game in the final than we would've. Would've loved to have had a chance in winning, regardless of how small.

I certainly hope most Welsh people actually wanted Wales to win more than they want England to lose.

If not that would be very sad.

Let’s just hope that SA can really raise their game to the astronomical heights that England have set. I mean, they don’t deserve to be mentioned in the same breath after that embarrassing display of rugby do they. Just another little plucky country that should consider themselves lucky just to be able to witness the amazing rugby that England will play against them on Saturday.

Its just a case of whether you’re naturally an optimist or a pessimist.

It was win win for me today.

England played much much better yesterday than South Africa did today.

Pretty sure most South Africans would acknowledge that was an error-strewn performance.

Personally I find their style quite dull to watch as a neutral but it's effective so that's fair enough.

But they weren't doing their thing very well today and still won. They won't need to necessarily change their approach against England but they will need to perform much better than they did today.

But you’d acknowledge they’re a quality outfit, no?
