Well done South Africa. Played by the rules and tactically out thought and out fought England. However, as in football, there are things in both games that aren't perfect. For me, the biggest issue with the rugby rules is the way a points scoring penalty is awarded for a technical offence in the scrum. It spoils the game and feel sure a free kick, or even kick to touch and keep the put in would be better. It would mean more tries and fewer penalty dominated games. However, respect for the referee is sacrosanct, there are no problems with fans drinking. The sin bin - tens mins off for a yellow card is maybe an option worth thinking about, as is ten yards back for a free kick if you argue with the ref. In football though, for a few, the issue might be ten mins off every ten minutes!

Footballers should be made to accept the decisions of a free kick - he won’t change his mind (as we are taught when we first start out). Start handing out cards and they’ll soon stop.
I also think a free kick should be taken immediately instead of the 2 minutes it takes to set it up, measure the wall etc. Give the offending team 10 seconds if they need it.
Rugby has it right on the TMO as well but the refs seem so much more capable than football refs. I appreciate that it’s a different sport to manage though.

Football is testing out sin bins at the scefl league level and below.
For those who don't know scefl top league has, Sheppey, bearsted, Chatham, Beckenham, Cray etc.
From what I've seen so far there does seem to be a reluctance by officials to use this, however i can understand this as they don't want to directly impact the game. What we need is for the people in charge to back the officials and allow them to use common sense.

I saw the game in bar six, i thought that there would be more people there, but there was only about 20 people in there. I wore a George cross tie, as i don't have a rugby shirt

The underdogs won because on the day the Boks turned up and the chariot was delayed on arrival.

The Seth Efrikans won because England made mistake after mistake after mistake and got punished for all but one of them . Seth Efrika were awesome especially that short arsed scrum half of theirs whose name escapes me at the moment.

England do well in cup. Media go mad, hype is wound up to hyper levels. England lose.
That's never happened before...

He is infinitely superior to the English number 9. True, he is an annoying little s*8t but you would rather have him on your team than the opposition. Anyway, congrats to the Boks who were the better team on the day.
