Prior to this game my heart was an England Wales final, my head told me NZ v Wales.
I'm convinced it will be Wales joining us in the final.

Otis, with that level of predictory skill can I suggest you look left and right at least half a dozen times before you attempt crossing even a very quiet road today?

And a late runner coming through on the inside to genuinely challenge the England one day cricket team for the title of 'team of the year' in the otherwise bloody awful SPOTY programme.

Think they will be spoilt for choice this year - possibly Hamilton won’t get nominated for his hypocritical Instagram mystery last weekend

No, we are pretty poor at Badminton and table-tennis.

South Africa will not be able to stop our attacking play, so they will play a negative game no doubt. In other words boring rugby !

Really disappointing game today, Wales made the wrong decision in getting involved in a kicking match. Looked fairly dangerous ball in hand but played the opposition’s game rather than taking the initiative. SA shouldn’t be a problem for England in the final, should be far superior tactically to the Welsh.

Everyone has been superior to the Welsh since 1283.

Trouble is we will not be able to employ the same tactic against SA as we did NZ. Plough in early they just pass it back further & kick over us. They are masters at winning ugly with their current squad, although they also have some great flair players they can call on. So even if we play as well as yesterday, they won't be easy to beat...they are happy to just keep grinding away & kicking the penalties

If England take that Faf de Klerk out of the game early doors then we’ll be fine.

Violently as well, because he reminded me of Craig Bellamy for some reason. He was either hoof or wind up tactics.

We need to kill him, if only for the opportunity for someone to say 'I shot de Klerk' Cousin Vinnie style.

Wales coach Gatland and Eddie Jones love to wind each other up. Gatland reckons England played their final already v the All Blacks. Love the return from Eddie " Send my wishes to Gatland, I hope he enjoys the third-place match. "

Garcias can be odd at times - Toby fair I have a lot of respect for all of them - they are calm , you can hear them taking decisions and their reasons - sooner football goes this way in the prem the better - not sure what the answer for our league is as there are just too many games and we get poorly trained idiots - only a few make the big time - in Rugby it’s just 10 worldwide

Geez, England's game is error-riddled. We have been awful at times. Stupid penalities, wayward passes, kicks straight out of play.

Only one way this is going to go unless we change something and buck up our ideas.

We are giving too many penalties away, haven't really got going yet, the South Africa defence has been immense.

Effective rugby but boring as buggery style. If the rest of the game pans out like this England lose and it is a poor advertisement for the game. Really want England to win, obviously - but f we are to lose, hope the 'depression; spreads to The Wasps 'support' (that's the miserable side of me coming out!)
