    Think both defences are controlling this game.

    It is a bit flat but i think credit is due in that respect to both defences.

    Some niggly little errors creeping into SA game now

    That's it, calling it now. SA are through.

    For a game full of strong defending, that was utter garbage from Wales defensively, weak try to concede.

    How the * did Wales pull that off?

    Thought they utterly * it trying to kick out wide then it goes out and they somehow managed to get a try from a scrum.

    * *.

    Personally would love the collapse of the English pr machine if it's Wales that beat them in the final.

    They could easily explain away SA beating them but they wouldn't be able to stand Wales doing it

    Two incredible defences to meet in the final, then.

    South Africa’s kicking game will have to improve a lot to beat England, however.

    Couple of Welsh injuries today. North and Biggar was it? Plus Liam Williams last week..

    England would've been too much for them..

    Least the South Africans will give them more of a game. England favourites buy hopefully the Springboks do them. They're powerful as *..

    SA deserved their win. Shame as I would have loved to have seen an all NH final.

    England must be the favourites to win the Cup, but SA have the physicality to make it feckin' difficult for them.

    Elite level Rugby Union really is a wonderful thing to behold. If I could go back in time then I'd gladly have dedicated my youth to trying to make it as a top level player.

    The respect and sportsmanship - not to mention the pride in representing one’s country - blows football out of the water.

    I'm beginning to see how Rugby is far more enjoyable a watch as a nutureal spectator.

    Honestly football is a hard * watch outside of Celtic games.
