[@aboubakarcornelius7296]

The Niew Zealand games to the Semi finals are much easier than South Africa's. The first game of Niew Zealand was France and from there it was straight to the Semi finals. South Africa on the other hand was Scotland, Ire land, Tonga who are suppose to be one of the minnows (which was a aggressive and tough team) to play against, with many strong and well known players in the team. They played like Samoa whom SA always use to get in the previous world cups. Then it was France and now this past Sunday it was England. It seems like the system was set up to tire South Africa out by the time they get to the finals, eventhough it look like they wanted SA out before the Semi final. Niew Zealand was always wrapped in cotton wool and this is not the first time they were given an much easier road to the Semi finals then South Africa. This was also mainly the reason for Niew Zealand to win world cups back to back. I was just wondering if Niew Zealand would smoke the pipe if the positions were swapped whereby Niew Zealand are put out to play the tough teams given to South Africa.

[@_Odyssia_]

As a South African, we've really got to give the Boks grace for how they played, even if it wasn't their best. They were still fatigued from last week's intense game with France, and had to get ready for yesterday's game. And the weather and terrain conditions didn't make it any easier for them. England on the other hand, had the preschool pool throughout the tournament. That game was the first tough game they've played, and if they only played their best game now, then I'm not really sure if that's really the case if they had been in a much tougher pool with equal level of skills. This game to me, felt like England's first challenge, which they should have faced in the early Pool stages if they had tougher rivals. Then people wouldn't probably write them off and see them as a genuine threat, but I'll give them credit for showing that for the 70 minutes at the semis as they were leading. The Boks, on the other hand, had the toughest road to climb in the tournament. We were in the Pool of Death, as we had Scotland, Ireland, and even Tonga, who showed up and surprised everyone with their impressive defense side. And we all know how the game with France turned out to be. World Rugby may have set us up for failure, as we are the reigning world championships, and that kind of puts a target on your back for everyone to take you out. But the Boks stood their ground, faced the odds that were against them, and now we are on to the finals to face our greatest rivals. The ABs also didn't have an easy road either in the beginning with the opening game, but after that, they didn't face much competition until the quarter finals with Ireland. And the most disappointing and boring semi finals with Argentina, so they didn't face much adversity. But I'm really reluctant to say that England played their best when they had the easiest run in the tournament out of any team. Even Ireland and France, who never lost a game until the quarters, had tougher competition than England. The Red Roses were just in the lead. And probably the vengeance that fueled them from the previous RWC in 2019 may have factored in their gameplay to play harder. At the end of the day, "playing the best rugby", or "playing the prettiest rugby" as some French fans have said last week, doesn't win you games. Experience, creativity, and overcoming adversity at the worst of times, is all it takes to win.

[@robertporter4501]

The fact is, once again England couldn't score a try against South Africa.

[@gainingvisionsa]

👌

[@_Odyssia_]

@@robertporter4501 And the Boks scored the only try with a perfect conversion in the duration of the full 80 minutes. All they did was kick, kick, kick penalties. The drop goal was the only unique thing England did to get ahead of the game. If that doesn't speak volumes of how good they are, even at the worst game in RWC history, I don't know what will convince that they might not only win, but will go on to make double history by winning back-to-back and winning the Webb Ellis Cup for a fourth time!

Also South Africa has won 3/7 World cups where they have participated, (because they were banned from 1987 and 1991 WC due to apartheid), while NZ has won 3/9, hence South Africa has higher success rate, and the Best Rugby team in World cups, which is definitely the most prestigious tournament that there is. Also lets not forget that South Africa won 3 world cups with 3 different Generations, 1995, 2007 and 2019 are 3 completely different generations of players, while New Zealand won 3 world cups with 2 different generations, as 2011 and 2015 was mostly the same time, save minor changes..

In the art of rugby war, much like warriors enduring a tempest's fury, the Springbok rugby team's unwavering resolve mirrored the wisdom of Sun Tzu. As the master strategist eloquently put it, "In war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak." Hidden in plain sight the Springbok scrum manifested this principle, a silent powerhouse, ready to seize victory when the moment was ripe. In the midst of the game's intense clashes, England may have claimed fleeting victories, but as Sun Tzu wisely observed, triumphs in individual battles don't assure triumph in the war. Indeed England may have won the on field battles, but, as Sun Tzu's timeless wisdom reminds us, victory in battle doesn't guarantee success in the war. The Springboks, akin to seasoned generals, exercised patience. In the game's dwindling moments, they seized the strategic vantage point with their scrum. They made substitutions, ceded territory, and fortified their scrum, ultimately clinching the war even when it appeared that England had triumphed in the battle on the field. It was then that England realized they had secured the battle but lost the war. In rugby, much like in war, the final score unveils the indomitable spirit, the very essence of the team that conquers.......................................................................................................the match.

1:10 "everybody thought l was delusional" ... then the actual reality set in at the 80:00 'fool time' whistle... everybody was right!

[@chiganuggoo9929]

England played a stellar 80 minutes, South Africa were chasing them for most of the game, what won it for them were Rassie & Jacques Tactical decisions....and the players never say die attitude. It's as simple as that. Farrell was player of the match for me all day long and twice on a Sunday. A massive loss to England him not playing any more.

[@apuppynamedoz]

Was a great game, however that penalty at the end was daylight robbery. Good luck in the final though.

England displayed a dominace over South Africa who had their worst game in a very long time. Englad were winning that game in every aspect. Linouts, Scrums, Moles, Rucks, Turnovers, Power, Speed, Tackling & Kicking. England had SA on their knees and they couldn't kill that game. I've haven't seen SA get dominated like that in a very long time especially in recent years. The fact that Siya, Eben, Malherbe, Kitshoff, & Vermeulen. Had to get substituted because they couldn't deal with England. That says a lot about how shit SA were. This was the worst performance we've seen from SA in a while and that was one of the best if not the best performances we've seen from England in this world cup. But England still couldn't kill that game off. They couldn't even get a try. That IMO says a lot about the BOKS.

[@ControlledChaos-rk5tk]

A lot of this came down to pressure and weather conditions, South Africa lost a lot of ball position due to the ball slipping from their hands.. which England did a lot better. In a more "controlled" and ideal scenatio, South Africa would have capitalized much more situations.

Credit to England - they pulled out all the stop sand have great players and a new coach and they nearly had an upset tonight. They had a strategy that matched the knockout rugby and the conditions. Bloody well planned and executed. SA on the other hand probably didn't respect the rainy conditions in the first half and tried to play with the ball too much. SA forwards also looked a bit fatigued from the French game TBH as England were crossing the gain line and the SA defence wasn't as aggressive as usual. Their set pieces also were being disrupted by England - not at all like SA. again great play by England. It was only the replacements that made the difference, with SA depth being pretty good. This changed the scrums and got a couple of penalties that got us into their half- before that we couldn't get out of our half.

[@bobgornal5184]

England played not to lose; South Africa played to win. Big difference.

[@ethanherreveld2300]

It's what good teams do, play badly, but still find a way to win.

[@AizenIPlannedIt]

had the boks stuck to 6-2 split it wouldn't have been such a contest

[@davesmith826]

The bench split had nothing to do with it. It was the starting line up - tired legs, poor focus, never at the races. Once we brought on last week's subs, who didn't have to weather the storm of France in the first half, the game began to turn. Rassie and co. fucked up. They should have fielded the bench as our first XV and subbed on the others in the second half, with some changes (Kitshoff doesn't belong in the team, Esterhuizen, Mapimpi and Am need to be in the match day squad).
