Re: Rugby World Cup Final: South Africa vs England ]]
Congrats to SA, on the day they were just a better team in all dept's. Matfield was rightly awarded the man of the match, winning the ball everytime in the lineouts. England were just no match for the SA defence who despite not being able to get their backs in the game, never seemed troubled. England as a whole did not have what it took to get behind SA awesome defence. A sad way for many on England's players, who for which this was their final game for England at an International level, but they can be proud of their efforts as a team how far they came in this World Cup considering how poor they started.
I hope the powers that be continue with Ashton and let him build towards a youthful and entertaining England side in years to come, caz one they lacked in this World Cup was their inability to score tries and hopefully this is something the men behind the scenes address.
From a neutral point of view i hope Argentina are given the chance to compete in the Tri Nations as for their performances in this World Cup they deserve to be given that oppurtunity.
