England v South Africa

[fahran]

Cracker of a match to finish the World Cup I thought. For once England's forwards were matched by the Springboks, and a good fierce battle ensued

Disallowed Try aside, did you think the referee was fair/had a good game?

[fahran]

Yes I do, even with the disallowed try (which was the call of the TV match official and the right one imho). There was nothing that really stood out for me as terrible officiating. Perhaps one or two decisions were debatable, but that's standard for a rugby international.

You know, if it wasn't for your updates I would have no idea who won, or that there was a tournament of some rugby variant going on.

Ah Melbourne - if it's not AFL it ain't real footy. :-)

Ooh, you uncultured Melbournites. :-)
