 Its great that we dont have the flair or fluidity of half the sides in the tournament but we have sheer bottle, brute strength and a tremendous determination to win. After watching our footballers lose their bottle time and time again over the past few decades its so refreshing to see an England side that doesnt fall apart when the going gets tough

The Boks were the best team in the competition and deserved the win, but they were fortunate in the final.
Much was made about their backs and creative players and yet none of them turned up on the day, they hardly did anything to cause England trouble. England get constant criticism for being 'boring' and not scoring tries and yet South Africa kick their way through the final and we have a good try wrongly disallowed. Irony is a cruel mistress. It's unfortunate that we gave the Boks the chances to keep their scoreboard ticking over as with a bit more discipline and a better video ref, we might have snuck it by a point. That said, we did great to get this far ... we stuck the metaphorical 2 fingers up at all our doubters and i'm proud of the team for bouncing back. Hopefully we can sort get a bit more flair in our team, sort out a few things and have a positive 6 nations! Oh and bring in Viacolo (sp?), he'd be a big help
