As gutted as I am, I’m not really surprised by the result. After a stunning win over the All Blacks, everyone was quick to dismiss SA as a final pushover. I didn’t get it. They’ve been solid if uninspiring throughout and they were always going to provide a sterner physical test than New Zealand. The Springboks defending today has been nothing short of magnificent. They banjoed us in the scrum and mauls and were, pretty much, a brick wall that England could not get through.
Great game for 50-60 minutes before England’s discipline went out of the window and it became a procession. Grats to SA because they’re deserved winners. |
