Listen mate - I am no expert but taking that final on its own - England did try and pass / run with the ball and did manage to nearly score a try. They were woefully short of skill and pace to do that but at least they had a go. Compare this to the South Africans who played a defensive game and just got the penalties that they converted.
As for the rest of the torunament - well I only watched the France game and they were the better team in that also. Not syaing they're a great team - they obviously aren't but I thought the South African's were really boring. --- "Slack, David (DTF)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You taking the piss about England playing flowing > rugby aren't you?
