Lions eat Springboks, don't they?

[tiggerai]

Just got back from Emirates from a 2-0 victory over Bolton, so all I need now is an england win and a Hamilton victory to seal the deal.

[MD]

Bring it on - 7 minutes and counting. Its gonna be a bruiser.

[IBM]

ooooooh 9-3

[dave87]

Traditionally those who are ahead at half time go on to win, so is it all over for England, or are we gunna surprise the world again?

[kalniel]

We're not going to get any big score.. so I think it's right on a knife edge at the moment. We've enough to get 6 more points than them in the second half, but if they score again it's going to be tough.

[fraggie]

oh my god, its official, not only are the aussies sore but they are blind too

[kalniel]

His foot did flick up some white paint though

We should have got a penalty for a block though, but it wouldn't have made a difference in the end - well done springboks - that lineout won the game.

[fraggie]

i didn't see any paint, it looked as if he was going for the knee in touch but his foot was up, i think if that was given then we would have raised the game.

[Guy]

Damn that denied try earlier on

Wasnt our night

[kalniel]

It was certainly close, but I thought as he pulled his foot up he flicked the paint.

[fraggie]

well seeing as the offence should be given the benefit of the doubt I think the aussie (oh the irony) got it wrong.

Boks shut us down well but the tide definitely turned on that decision

[Mithrandir]

Well, our boys still done well considering they were the laughing stock 5 weeks ago. They have played extremely well to get to the finals and give the SA a run for their money.

Oh well, next big event.... tomorrow

[shiato storm]

ref needs to learn what 'obstruction' means, so many blatant ones in the 'boks game. england are too polite

[MD]

I have to say we did well to get this far, respect for that.

But i am getting REALLY SICK AND TIRED of players trying to influence the referee, its a disgrace and cards need to be handed out for it - the boks were yapping at him all night.

And who would have thought the aussies would have the last laugh on us this year, I have seen plenty worse than that give throughout the tournament, look at last night for a start...

[kopite]

I was gutted by the try decision but on the night the best team won.

Well Done South Africa. We did well and the team was great but on the night SA where the stronger team

See that is why I love Rugby. There was a dodgy decision but none of the english players complained We admitted the best team won.

Maybe our football team need to look at the rugby team for some character.

[DR]

You know what, you win some you lose some - proud of the English boys, they did well - nice close game, we missed some chances and had some sloppy penalties given away. Still, not interested in people moaning about the try - what happened happened

I feel we deserved to win the game, but not the tournament.

Well done South Africa.
