Jeez Chieka hasn’t improved his ability to lose with grace.

Agreed, there needs to be a lot more to the game plan. There’s going to be some pain ahead I imagine, England are suddenly very short in the front row. Sinckler has had his day, Cole and Marler probably retiring and George held together by sticky tape.

Cheika being gracious as ever :laughing: :laughing: . It’s all about the ref mate, just like it was when he was at the Tahs and Wallabies. Not one word of congratulations to the team who win.. must be in the Randwick dna

He’s an impressive person, I just hope there’s more as a coach to come.

And went two minutes within beating them too.. mate we were in an equally soft side of the draw and have been home for over a fortnight. I know of no Wallaby fan that wouldn’t have been happy with England’s record at this tournament. Personally I’d prefer our sport to be rugby not pom bashing

Argentina had their chances, unlucky. Commiserations. And congrats to England. Steve Borthwick is very impressive.

Rugby refs have all but abandoned the offside

Just another 6 months mate and you’ll be able to watch the Wallabies, sure you’ll be sleeping like a baby.

Good win for them but England still need more variety to their game plan.. in fairness though for Borthwick to get third, losing only one game by one point after the last four years of Eddie’s taking the side to unfathomable depths has been a huge achievement. How Underhill hasn’t played more in this series than Vunipola is mind blowing

I wish England played last night as I had trouble sleeping and they would have fixed that.

Now now. They are, according to pundits here, the weakest side in the finals that exaggerate all blacks points difference so starkly. Eng have probably run out the under 20s side to give them a chance. Luckily Arg did not play Boks whom would have won prob 150 - 6 or thereabouts. Kiwis sitting in sheds in awe of English and grateful they were gifted the final by WR and sure that English would have set new records. (With fozzie we could have been looking a first 50 plus point defeat. Not worth getting up for. I'm just going to log on here noon tomorrow
