I wonder if the phrase being alluded to would be drawing penalties rather than fouls? That was what I was meaning but I think it was misintepreted because I used the wrong word.

I am actually looking forward to the bronze medal playoff. A chance for Gatland and Hanson to say goodbye to the fans (albeit not how they would have wanted to). A last hoorah for a few players especially in the Wales team and a fixture that you do not get to see very often so lets see how Wales' attritional defence holds up to the all blacks. I think it could be a decent game if both sides put out full teams.

I was cheering after 90seconds...though I was at home and not at the club...
Great, great win. Will be cheering England on next Saturday...come on Engerland...Bash the Boks.

Disappointed its not a northern hemisphere final, Wales 'v' England, and quite surprised it isn't. Maybe SA are a lot better than I anticipated. Have England peaked in beating the All Blacks or is there another great game in them? There'll have to be at there best as SA have surprised in this tournament.

I am pretty pleased with the teams in the final. If Wales had got through and we won the final it would be so sweet but it would be the lowest of the low to lose to Wales in a world cup final. A loss to SA would not sting anywhere near as much.

I think that if we can win having beaten all 4 of the Rugby Championship teams, that would be the brilliant

I was listening to the radio and the general discussion was that the Springboks used the might of their pack and the Welsh team is more of a fast running team. The point being that if you can field a pack as strong which NZ did in the build up matches the Springboks, then had other areas of their game under pressure.
The general feeling was that the English side had a pack as strong and I think we have seen that in all the games so far (matching NZ) that they could then have a little go at the running game as bodies are drawn in.
Of cause I am summarising and I am an armchair critic !

I think you will see the AB give it everything and the Welsh will be lucky to get to double figures .. I think we will see something like 45-55 pts for ABs and 9 at best for the Welsh.
I thought the French would have beaten the Welsh if they had not had that forward do the most stupid of fouls (totally ruined it for the team !)

We have 15-20 South African guys that go out really early and so can't wait for them and the England fans to get together in the bar for the game. Going to be a great atmosphere at the club

...and so after England win the World Cup - and after Scotland are the only team to beat England in the 2020 6 Nations - then that will make Scotland World Champions - no? Well it worked for the football team in 1967 - but then that team had Jim Baxter (G rest his most marvellous footballing soul).

Garces is given the job - I thought they might have gone with Gardner but think it’s a World Cup too early for him - Barnes is Prob gutted that England made the final as he would have prob got the job

I heard this earlier on the radio where they suggested that he'd been heavily criticised after his performance in the Wales v S. Africa semi final. Having watched the match I can't remember much criticism of him at the time during or after the match. Admittedly I'm not a rugby expert so was his performance that bad and what has he been criticised for?

Do you have a crystal ball or has your French Barber come back 😉
England get fined £2k for crossing the line for the Haka. I bet the English RFU will have never been happier to pay a fine
