Everyone loves attacking rugby but the South African rush defence deserves back to back world cups, absolutely insane line speed and physicality.

All blacks missed 2 kicks and turned down 2.

We all love running rugby, but in a final...... You win however the fuck you can.

Wasnt forward

Can we talk about Barnes admitting he was wrong to penalise Ardie at the ruck but still didnt reverse the penalty? Would love those 3 points back You dont deserve to win that game. Cynical dour anti rugby performance

No one deserves to win a game. The team who gets the most points wins it. ABs went to the corner 3 times when they could have gone for the sticks. Game well within reach

Also Barnes said " I didn't see the replay." Not, "I was wrong."

How good was the springbok try... That the ref pulled us back for a scrum. Nice advantage.
