England have been fined a couple of grand because someone trod over the halfway line whilst facing NZ,s haka.

Sometimes I despair.
Front row forwards not listening to instructions again wasn't it 😀.

Have you watched a you tube clip entitled "Bad all blacks haka 1973" ?

That's how culturally important it was a few short years ago. I think I'm right in saying they made an equally cringeworthy effort at the first World Cup in 1987.

Tomorrow is the day.
I think the Boks will try to break up the game, kick, and overall not let us get into a rhythm. The question is will England let them do that?
It will be a feisty encounter, but England are strong all over the park. The Springboks have been dark horses and have quietly crept up into the final. This will not be easy, but if we play to our best we will win.
C'mon England !

Tomorrow is now today, a day that we hope to remember forever .
Did England peak last Saturday or was it another step towards glory against a robust S Africa team.
It's been an enjoyable World Cup : let's hope England can lift the Cup and cheer up the nation and Brits around the world.
Good luck to the England team : bring it home!

Hoping it's not a slugfest dominated by the forwards and settled by the odd penalty. I agree it's been a great tournament and here's hoping the final lives up to that. Come on England !!

I'm not an expert, but the real experts think it's not gonna be pretty.

Sinckler off with concussion almost certainly. Bad news. Weakens the team.

15mins in and we're definitely second best.
