England Rugby Semi Final

We've had a bad day, Clarets getting Battered, rovers winning, England Cricketers showing themselves up...again.
Come on England Rugby, cheer us up.

Two penalties

I am sure the NZ referee would rather the All Blacks face England next Saturday than SA. :D

I know nowt about Rugby Union, but from what I've seen this game is probably harder than the All blacks.....win this and we could win it ??

So much football could learn from this game in terms of how to respect the Ref.

Thought we'd be out of it at half time. Deserve the lead , no silly mistakes and we might make it

Farrell has been a bit of a dick at times in this game, but that was some kick.

SA uncharacteristically unsteady.

Went to a pub in Stow-On-The-Wold with 4 TVs showing the rugby, bought a pint and then the bar staff said “by the way we have a live singer at 9 in case you’re thinking of watching the whole match”. The place emptied at half time :-)

Why is it some weekends serve up nothing but disappointment
Bloody sport. When it’s good it’s brilliant but weekends like this make you jealous of those happy folk who don’t really follow sport.

Had to make the domination count for more in the first half, unfortunately.

They battled well.

Farrell gobbing off to the ref cost them dear in the end.

Need to score tries to be a worthy winner though.

Poor referee cost us. He became fixated that England were at fault in the scrums late on when the decisions could have gone either way. England game management superb. The Boks were rattled and that is unusual.
