Congrats Saffers - 4th RWC !!

[Ymx]

You just outplayed us to the interpretations on the day.

After the 43rd penalty and 5th yellow card against us I thought we still had a shot. But we choked.

Barnes wife and children have been safely returned I understand.

Well deserved Boets !!

Boet are you on the charge office Coffee? The mockers hate this shite.

I don’t drink Oom. I’m just letting off steam and hope !

At least it went to a good SH team.

Congrats !

To be honest most Saffers can stand losing to the All Blacks if we lose.. maybe the rivalry.

They were trying to claim they were at risk of losing to Italy earlier in the competition.

Another 1 pointer for the Boks won't be good for my heart.

I think Rassie is trying to see if we can win by half a point this time.

With Fozzie in charge its a toss up whether or not they will get on the right team bus

Some interesting stats.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/67255852

A few I found interesting...

Beauden Barrett's score in Paris on Saturday was the first time the Springboks had conceded a try in a World Cup final.

Prior to the 2023 tournament, only five of 66 World Cup knockout fixtures had been settled by a one-point margin (excluding third-place play-offs).

Player of the match Pieter-Steph du Toit led the way for the Boks with a match-high total of 28 tackles. The back row played more minutes at the World Cup than any other South African forward - 386 out of a possible 560.
...
Deon Fourie, Mbonambi's replacement at hooker, was second on the list with 21.

and my favourite

Second row Franco Mostert attempted 49 tackles in the Springboks' three knockout games and did not miss a single one.

Sous was awesome in this RWC. Etsebeth and Snyman get all the headlines, but he just calmly goes about his job and fucks up the opposition each and every week. Legend.

I mean, it's pretty decent.... but Hamish Watson went nearly 250 consecutive tackles in the 6N without missing one, so a bit to go

Unfortunately not, he has to make do with winning the Calcutta Cup every year

Congrats to the Saffa contingent on a well deserved victory

Unfortunately Barnes ensured the game wasn't the show piece rugby really needs. I have some serious doubts about the success of the next one in Oz; am in a league dominated region, Newcastle, and zero people were talking about or watching the World Cup. We did get Sir Paul know, which is all to the good.
