Who else thinks the English should have won the Rugby World Cup?

Question

I am a SpringBok (SA) supporter but the English played a better game and they should have been awarded the try they scored. Which would have swung the game in their favour.

Answer 1

No we didn't deserve to win on the night,  The try wasn't a try.

BUT thanks for your comment and I would point out we beat Australia and France (who beat New Zealand) whereas you only beat Fiji and Argentina.

Answer 2

Thank you for your kind comments but no. We gave away penalties which your Montgomery kicked. And you defended your lines ferociously. You took your oppertunities and everytime you came into the English half you scored points. We piled on the pressure and you defended well and fairly (hence only two penalties conceded)

There were a few incidents of crossing which the ref didnt call which would have given us the ball in some good field position. But it wasnt to be for the English.

If we had deserved to win, we would have.

Answer 3

I personally don't agree with your'e suggestion because evry time the english attacked south africa, the sprinkboks' just broke it down and as for the person who said "we beat australia (who should of won), and france who beat new zealand (the kisser boys were liucky to beat the mighty all blacks). So in my opinion all blacks beat france, wallabies beat england, all blacks beat wallabies by fine line, springboks vs all blacks final and end in draw and go all the way to sudden death then after 15 minutes new zealand scab it at end with a drop goal. But that was my opinion so don't say england should of won because don't forget you thrashed them 36-0 in the pool matches.

Answer 4

No, SA were more solid & consistent in both final & the whole tournament. They played a very safe game in the final but deserved the WE trophy.

Answer 5

Nah mate SA played England at there own game the difference was SA were better at it than England, England turned it around and started playing more than one dimension and were lost when they started spreading the ball in back play. Its oddly funny how anybody can think that England 'deserved' to win with the style they played, in saying that they played well above their expected level. The result (SAs win) was justified and deserved.

Answer 6

Bollocks you are a springbok supporter and you are clueless about the game of rugby. The boks were clearly the best side on the park. There was not an area where england was better.
