No, no, no…. It doesn’t start with quick ball. Lots of people say that, but no team actually wants slow ball. What is imperative, is to carry the ball, over the gain line. Then your clearers & support runners get there quicker than the defenders. Then you play it quick, then you cross the gain line etc etc. You can’t just will ‘ quick ball’ England’s current problems: not enough genuine heavy carriers in the pack. Our 8 is fast & explosive but not heavy, our 7 is very small. Neither of our rows carry very well, especially Itodje. J George no longer carries and we don’t have an international 12. Then we often pick fairly slow wingers. So we can’t go through or outside teams. So we invariably don’t cross the gain line and so our ball is slow. Our selection is a mess. Itodje, George, Underhill, Cole, Ford, Daly are all yesterday’s men.

For me, this was the best game I had ever seen, until the last world cup. It opened with some brilliant contenders with FRA NZ, then IRE RSA, then IRE NZ took the crown for a brief time until FRA RSA. I personally thought that the FRA RSA game was absolutely astounding, the second half would have been a contender for the greatest game ever, but that first half was gripping.

What a great try.Respect from a SA fan.

​​@@benco9876 1) Britain has 23 players on their doping list in the oast 8 years. SA has 13 in 25 years. The anti-doping program reports on the testing regularly which is why the international countries seem to think there are many more cases than there actually are, as theirs do not. 2) SA has one of the most rigorous testing programs and actively engage schools with an active anti-doping program, resulting in less and less than 4 testing positive the last year. Unlike many British schools, of which I recently read are "a law unto themseves" with no real plan on how to counter the increasing drug use in many rugby plating schools. 3) Its the governments duty to inact and sign the international anti-doping charter. They are the most corrupt government with the worst record of actually doing their jobs, which you lot helped to install. So SA Rugby has nothing to do with that and dont have any power to get it signed. We have already been fighting this actively for decades. But the British media has everyone believing otherwise. And the public keep following them like sheep because it's another mindless wip to beat SA with instead of acknowledging the work and dedication it took to win the WCs despite what we face in SA.

That was the best rugby I’ve ever seen the Red Rose play in my 55 years to date. That day we outplayed the mighty All Black like I believe no team ever has. Sadly that WAS our final and the tank was empty

Bok fan here....France is amazing, but always only for a short while every 20 years , ireland is fkn awesome now but for how long will that last, All Blacks is and probably always will be our old foe...... but one thing is for sure, England is always top 5 quality.....you can never count them out, fkn never, everyone knows that even when they down england can take it from anyone. Their fans might want them to always win but that isnt how sports work, in the end this team never dissapoints

Bloody Beautiful Boys.

What we need is that England become a super power in world rygby

Fantastic passing,makes a change from just kicking to win

And thats exactly why rugby is heavens game,if played as a running game

The Welsh ref still wakes up in cold sweats at 3am

Beautiful absolutely beautiful

Goosebumps... But we were blown for the final

And the music from a French band makes this even better :). Hat offs to the English team, everybody underrated them and there are the ones from the northern hemisphere who went the furthest in the World Cup… (from a French fan).

As an Aussie, Huge Respect to that England side 🔥

Massive, all those offloads including Kyle's, Ben Youngs at the ruck every time perfect passes ❤

Clive Woodward scored a blinder back in his day but the glory of Chris Ashton’s length of the pitch score against the Aussies takes some beating

Its good but Jason Robinson might have a few contenders. The greatest moment will always be setting up the drop goal against Australia. It was pure magic

Quickness of the release and offloads was unbelievable. Best few minutes England’s played in a long long time 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

As an Englishman, I’ve never seen so many nice South African fans. Big love guys 💪

Watched this in a pub in Auckland as an Englishman. Every Kiwi showed nothing but respect. Genuinely one of the best days of my life.

The chaotic nature of rugby is what makes these moments of perfection even better

Ardie had hands on the ball and the English player was holding on… no try! 😂😂

I’m South African and that was a thing of beauty❤

This is the rugby we love

Still top try for me was 2003 final Jeremy Guscot the importance of it and watching it back on the big screen at Trafalgar square with the crowd roaring and Jeremy's face as he stood on the top front of the victory bus

Excellent effort by England 👏

On the second ruck the English player doesn't release the ball sooo much that he rolls away with it 😂

A rugby synphonic. Mighty.

Beautiful try. Respect from a South Africa fan. ❤

That match was special. Haven’t felt like that since

loved this game. England played so well and so fast the officials and ref couldnt find a way to screw us in the last few seconds. That welsh ref was raging

everything that is always glorious and epic in war stories is expressed through rugby, and nobody needs to suffer

Rugby is not my first sport but seeing England play like this bring tears to my eyes.

That delayed pass to get them up to the 5m line was a thing of beauty

See boys, that's how you do it - like this, not by building momentum then going for a drop goal or milking a penalty.

Poetry in motion. Thank you english rugby. Thank you to Mr Eddie Jones ❤

That game! The most complete England performance I’ve ever seen.

Ball went thru everyone's hands .now that's a team effort try

This game was brilliant! The kiwis went into this feeling entitled to an automatic win, and they got smashed! Barrett looking lost at 6, Whitelock losing his temper, Aaron Smith frustrated his sooking wasnt getting him advantages. And yet, the kiwis camnot handle losing

When forwards “hunt as a pack” anything is possible! The key was incredible fitness and skill. Great try! Great team!

I enjoy lots of different sports, but for me Rugby truly is the game of champions! It has everything.

That was an AMAZING piece of teamwork. Clearly drilled over and over again!
