    I am not into Rugby at all, especially Union, but just heard about today's game. So, Congratulations to England on reaching the final. My very limited knowledge of Rugby had this down as a sure fire All Blacks victory.

    England were top class today even having what looked like two very good tries ruled off.

    Said this many times my grandson took up Rugby League, when he was 7 and I was a little taken aback when the players referred to the referee ad "sir", and never questioned his decision.

    Yes he is but that is irrelevant, if he had a shocker then I would say he was terrible. My point about refs was a general point, nobody argues with the ref as it would mean losing a further 10 metres, football talked about introducing this rule, what happened to that?

    They intended trialling it in a couple of competitions and then dropped it without any fanfare. That was a shame really since it might have introduced more discipline into football.

    Farrell's questioning of Owens when he disallowed the first try seemed very polite and respectful. No histrionics; no waving of his arms and no other players joining in to surround Owens to put pressure on him. How often do we see that in football? And Owens was more than willing to explain his decision. Again, how often does that happen in football?

    I think the captain, Farrell in this case, is the only player allowed to approach the ref to question a decision, so long as the ref is prepared to explain and justify his decision then I see no problem with this. As you say it was all very polite and civilised.

    Fcking Rugger. Elbows in the face, a cheeky cup of the balls whilst scrumming down, mass brawls. But it’s fine, they call the ref sir in a posh voice, so it’s all good...Nah, not for me...Not arsed if England lose the final.

    Not just Farrell. George Ford has a broad Lancashire accent and the likes of Sinkler and Jamie George sound like cockneys.

    The final a damp squib so far. Too much kicking and poor handling.

    Can someone explain how an advantage can go on for over 3 minutes. Nearly three quarters of the game gone and one try scoring opportunity in the whole game. Like watching Rugby in Bill Beaumonts days.

    Don't they have forward passes in Union, it looked like there were two in the build up to SA try ?.

    It's like watching a really bad football match. Time wasting at.every scrum, continually slowing play down.
