    More to it than that... after the 2x 10 mins of extra time, there will be another 10 mins where its sudden death... like Golden Goal. If that doesn't settle it it's a kicking competition.

    Shocking decision by the TMO not to red card Kolisi.. it was direct head to head contact, worse than the first sending off.

    Been a rubbish game. Lack of tries.

    There was mitigation though agree it looked bad but under the rules the fact he hit his shoulder first and was at least an attempt to go low.
    New Zealand lucky to get that try I thought that went forwards

    Tbf Ian, South Africa are anti Rugby... they just high kick everything, NZ being down to 14 doesn't help their cause.

    It was direct head to face contact, there really isn't much mitigation for that in any other TMO decision I've ever seen.

    I think SA have won the big moments. NZ kicked for touch when could (and arguably should) have kicked a penalty. NZ missed a conversion and a penalty. Outstanding performance with 14 men from the All Blacks but SA have been better in the key moments.

    South Africa managed to win the Quater Semi and final by one single point. Lucky against France and England. Just about deserved it against 14 man NZ tonight but im a bit sad

    At the end of the day they possibly deserve to have won it. But it wasn’t pretty.

    Let's be honest though they cheated the French.

    Credit South Africa. Played the top 5 in the world to win the tournament. Worthy winners.

    I can't agree... Let's not forget they were beaten by Ireland, cheated the French, and played a 14 man All Blacks.
