    Just the three Saffers offside at that defence....

    Edit - after 25 mins with Saffer number 9 offside half a dozen times, ref finally blows for one.

    Wayne Barnes has given everything to Japan since the SA yellow card. 

    Definitely think he could have gone to the TMO on the yellow card, the disallowed try just before half time and that clatter round the neck just now.

    Eng and NZ feel like the best teams by a mile. 

    Shame it's not the final.

    SA have bottled so many try opportunities.

    SA still offside when defending. Not sure why the ref isn't penalising them

    High tackle on the De Klerk? No way.

    Game over. The final is next week whatever the official calendar says.

    I thought the matches that resulted in hammerings were going to end after the group stages!

    Hammering?
    Dont see 40 points conceded like Australia or Ireland.

    The ref from the Wales/France game is in trouble

    France robbed Argentina in the group game and got their comeuppance against Wales, who were not at all impressive .. next season Shaun Edwards is joining the French coaching team so expect a BIG improvement, that is if the frogs can understand his Broad Lancastrian accent.

    Immense defence .. England beat the Ozzies with 36% possession and 38% territory gained, the Ozzies made over twice the running distance gained by England who did a 'Charlton' and won on the break .. if those figures are repeated against NZ, England will lose by 25+  

    SA mullered Japan despite some help for Japan from the usually totally accurate Wayne Barnes (remember the 2002 football World Cup in Korea/Japan when referees did everything except score and clear off the line for S Korea who finished 4th)

    I still expect a NZ/SA final and England to do the welsh for the bronze

    George Ford back in Saturday. 

    Worried it means we'll be kicking a lot and gifting NZ good possession.

    Sitting in the Hospital after Mrs Ottos waters broke at 3am this morning. Watching the game on a crappy hospital bed TV. And had a bit of inspiration to do the following bet a few mins before the game.

    This is a breathless game. 
    Feel we need/needed at least another score from this period.

    Yeah I'm worried we wasted a couple of really good chances there.

    the intensity from us is very good but we've wasted 4 chances so far. got a feeling we're gonna regret that.
