Pollard completes late comeback! | England v South Africa | Rugby World Cup 2023 Extended Highlights

crazy talented player who i would respect if was less of a twat always screaming at refs for stuff. great to see him loose.

[@SoCalDreaming87]

@toknode331 Agreed. Also, he doesn't have a clue how to tackle properly and dives like a footballer.

[@BooklessT]

will he be remembered as a player that reached a record points total - more likely to be remembered as the player that gifted SA 3 points by his childish behaviour, ran the kick clock down, poor discipline record, and quick with the sour grapes and other reasons why it was never his fault. A legend in his own mind only IMO.

[@tymoses6043]

Lol I'ma bok through and through.. The boks are the Manchester United of world rugby in that they almost make it hard for themselves.. So the win is that much sweeter at the end.. Eventually figuring out how the play needs to adjust to win the game/conditions/occasion (obviously United aren't at the top of the world anymore but there's a spirit that is within both dynasties that just never says die) and staying humble is another trait I've noticed the best is a feature in great teams.. Together with supreme confidence

[@Narapoia1]

I couldn't watch the final penalty kick from Pollard. First time I've ever done that, had to leave the room and came back in afterwards to see he'd got it. That was the most stressful game of the WC I think, mostly because it would have been so terrible to lose to England.

[@The_Otherone_1]

bro i was literally in spain and forced the bar to put it on. so close to another final (which we wouldve fumbled anyway)

[@SoCalDreaming87]

Give credit where credit is due. England really brought it to us in spades. They played the conditions expertly and Steward was an absolute rock at the back. Well done, England. I am so proud of our Springboks for their heart. We are very proud of you Siya and team❤

[@Sharkman1963]

I love how the Bokke players celebrated at the moment the scrum penalty was called at minute 76. They knew Pollard was good for the kick. He'd have hit it from 100 meters if he'd had to. 49 was a breeze. The Golden Boot.

To have played the five teams South Africa played, there is no doubt they are the greatest tournament team of all time. They wouldhave given the All Blacks 2015 big headache because of their defensive plays. Amazing Springboks to find ways to win no matter what, that is a trait of a great team.

At the time, neither of us knew if the Boks would be able to overturn the deficit. But overcome it they did, because THEY knew, even if we didn't. And that's why they are world champs. Because they never stop believing.

@@sphereseal8341 Maybe he did. I most definitely DON’T approve of whinging in defeat - or victory. I’m ‘old-school rugby’: Win or lose, you congratulate your opponent. I don’t know Tom Curry. I stopped playing twenty five years ago😩 But by most accounts, he’s a decent guy as almost all rugby players are. I don’t speak Afrikaans so I have no idea whether Mr. Curry was racially-abused or not. But I’m sufficiently ‘rugby’ to hope that Mr. Mbonambi and Mr. Curry had a couple o’ cold beers together after the match. If not, then that would be a pity. The ONLY time I’ve been ashamed of my national side - victory or defeat - was in the year 2000: we lost to Scotland at Murrayfield. Only Jason Leonard and two or three others clapped their opponents off the field. I was watching the match with Scottish supporters and that lack of sportsmanship hurt WAY more than losing.

Then when they got there the ball simply flew towards the post and over the line - try scored. Dismal shock and disbelief on the English faces. It all happened so quickly and unexpectedly. Truly shocking. Just as the Irish felt when Mo'unga burst throw the line and sent his winger over to score. They were shell-shocked.
