Coles got dumped out of the next match’s 23
Good luck in the final, 2 rugby threads is no bad thing either

I worship at the temple of rugby union too
France pack/tight 5 specifically wasn’t quite up to it vs the Boks but their backs were better. As an ex blindside the Bok scrum penalty on their own 22 when they could’ve easily kicked to touch/lineout/recycle was one the most epic psychological ploys seen in the sport. Can’t recall a move so ballsy and France couldn’t quite recover from, transfixing rugby
All the drama round DuPont and then heartbreak, they’re back to their best when JP Rives, S Blanco, Berbizier you know the cunt were buzzing round, playing off 9 rather than fly half and when they click they can beat anyone now
England Boks was one try ultra attrition, check Curry’s schnoz but all the Bok subs changed their team’s progress Erasmus going nuts
Farrell, Edwards, Kevin Sinfield, massive coaches from league have improved union, it’s been gradual but their system analysis is apex predator and English rugby is missing a trick not getting them together

what a winger, shame their pack were/are ropey
might’ve been in a world cup but well worth revisiting

mental as you said, made a lot of other games in history look boring too
France might been the complete package but they folded after that insane Bok scrum penalty, Ireland game was muddy grim tension by comparison
Kerevi et al are some of the most skilful backs out there, need more than Skelton‘s huge frame but would question fitness, Australia did well when they brought in Ledesma

Australia wanted the scrum axed a decade or so back, fortunately a cultural shift began which Ledesma overhauled

true you can build fitness but Oz need a few dogs in their pack, players who can overpower monsters like Etzebeth and outthink savants like du Toit
