I second that - the boys did well, did us proud.
The disallowed try should never have been disallowed though - I don't see the point of having a 4th official with the TV replays if he's going to get it wrong! The touch judge was right on the spot, as was the ref, at the time of touchdown and it should have been a try - that would have changed the game somewhat. Makes me mad!

South Africa played a frustratingly boring game though -basically pressure England until they make a mistake. They themselves never looked like scoring. I just wish England had had the guts to go for glory earlier on in the 2nd half and tried to make something from nothing - like the Tongans and Fijians managed against them.

Oh well, I'm still proud to be English and be a Rugby Union fanatic!

Lol remind me, wasn't the video official a whingeing Aussie?!!!

Think we stuffed them again this year didn't we

For the nations that crowed about England being defeated in the final - we were runners-up, and they're all LOSERS!!!

Proud of the achievements of a team that was written-off before the tournament.
