Played like donkeys, but we still got a good scoreline. Which is good really, because we can only improve (a lot!!). But if we can be the springbox by 20 points playing badly, then watch out Australia/NZ in the final 
Well done to our boys, at least theres 1 ball game we are good at.

Greenwood is absolute class imo as is Back. Wilko save the day again in what was a below average display by England I though. But as yous have said if we can beat SA by that sort of margin playing crap roll on the final where I'd love us to ram it up those cocky Australian tossers.

fair enough england played crap but so did SA!!! too many silly penalties given away and against a better kicker that game could have been almost done and dusted earlier. Greenwood absolute class pffff!! what about that howler whenever koen missed one of the kicks...didnt even tap the ball down and just threw it forward . Apart from the try he was absent the whole match. IMO the world cup hasnt even started yet...that match was meant to kick start it all but really it was just a let down

Yeah, was a let down, but very entertaining to watch as we kept fooking up
Still, we can only improve. France will be the next big game, although we should win that, and bring on the final.
AS for SA playing cr4p, i dont think they played to bad. Got lots of turnovers, had some good attacking runs. Would have been a lot closer if the kicker had got his goals. SO glad he didn't Was sitting on the edge of the sofa, dooby in hand, screming missss it

they looked very powerful in the scrums and that no. 8 was all over the park making takles. Don't like the look of their backline at all.....i say bring back the good old days with percy montgomery, braam van straatan, robbie fleck, breyton paulse and ollie le roux in the scrum

I was very un-impressed with Van Der Westhazen (No9, not 15) though. He is one of the world class scrum halfs, and he made lots of mistakes, no darting runs, below average performance for a player of his caliber.
I missed the Wales game, how did they do?

tbh i support SA, and i thought it was a good game for first half, f'ing koen coulda put us ahead at half time grr. and we shoulda had a penalty or at least a scrum at englands tryline cause the english player deliberately collapsed the maul  .
but gg none the less
bring back ollie le roux!, ps percy montgomery is shite tbh.

In that case, ur out next round as ur playing NZ first, then if u were to beat them, u'd play Aus in the semi's.
AS for England falling out at the next round, i've seen the fixtures, can't remember who we have got next, but no-one particually good. France in the semi's, then i predict an England Vs NZ final. Possibly Australia. Very hard to tell though i think.
SA will go out next round and Aus will play NZ in the semi's.

Thats why it was so important for us to beat the SA's. WE are the best Northen Hems team without a doubt. Now all you Southern Hem temas car fight it out, and the best will play us
And i cannot wait for that final. England deserve to win the World Cup.
And to think that poncy football is our "so called" national game.

France have always impressed me. But tbh, they haven't impressed me at all this year. Biggest improved side i think is Ireland. They are becoming a really good side. France are just faltering back a bit.
I'd rather England play france in the semi's than Ireland

i dunno for some reason i don't like the team at the moment, great during the 6 nations but for some reason it just doesnt seem right.....well at least wood is back!!
You don't know what to expect from the french, can be cold for a few months then just turn it on like when they won the grand slam the other year.

France Be serious, they may have stepped it up for the world cup & they are a capable team but, realisticly, I just cant see them beating England

How can you say that? It's probably one of the hardest sports in the world
