Box kick Ben isn’t very good.
The whole package, the hair has half his job done for him.
An NRL type tache on top of that and he'd be even more of an unplayable little scrote.
Fair play, he's a World Cup winner now.
he’s just refereed a World Cup final, probably the pinnacle of his career. I’m sure you can allow him what, 10 seconds to enjoy and mark the occasion
Best team won. England as usual hyped up to fuck by the English media.
I think it's a side effect of the 'everybody is a winner for just taking part' mindset these days. Presents for other bairns when it isn't their birthday just so they don't feel left out boils me piss as well.
And also, to be fair to him, he was nowhere near as bad as he usually is. Bit iffy at scrum time, but the Saffers painted the exact picture they wanted him to see and got the result they wanted. The rest of the time he had a decent game, he deserves to be able to enjoy the fact he's not fucked up the pinnacle of his career.

Agreed. We just looked off the pace through out. Passes going wayward, runners having to check their runs, kicking not quite hitting the mark. That was largely due to how South Africa played by putting the scrum under pressure meaning but also how they chased down their kicking game putting our players under pressure and forcing errors, we rarely did that to them.
Hugely disappointing but the test team won on the day.
He's the guile on top of their innate narky, brute strength and rule stretching antics. They were brilliant. That first 20 minutes in the All Blacks game where they dominated them showed what they're about.

That’s their 3rd World Cup win but the first time they’ve scored a try in a final.

I watch loads of Top 14 rugby & Garces will always start to favour the dominant side. Had this conversation last night when I said that SA will start hard, we will be penalised & Garces will not then give us anything. We were shafted from first 5.
England 3/10, SA 9/10, officials 5/10
Well done SA

*We* should be the roughest bunch of bastards in world rugby
We aren't allowed to be.
The 2003 team were but they won it despite not getting away with fuck all, whilst other teams had free rein to cheat like fuck against us. They'd have loved today's game.

Garces has the choice of two to choose from.
Shocking performance from the ref.
He’s always been suspect and I knew that his interpretation of the breakdown would be mind boggling.
Having said that SA were the better team and deserved winners

I fully admit to being a sore loser but from my massively biased opinion, England don't commit the most offences, but are penalised the most. Always have, always will. We need to learn how to manage officials much better than we doWe aren't allowed to be.

In the end they deserved to win. Their defence was brutal, you've got to hand it to them.
I don't think you can manage that level of 'bias'. We are England, we don't get the breaks that other teams do and all the other teams know it. We need to be better than other teams to win the same decisions and matches. That's just how it is.
