England deserve to win this final as they played the best and I am rooting for them to get it done. But there is so many good stories around a South Africa win too. Hoping for a good match.
Rugby World Cup 2019 aka Squishy McSquish goes into a meltdown thread

what a shame this is.Oh yeah!
He's going to be a big miss.
We can't miss those penalties, not in a final.
Of course he can, and I’m free to tell him to bore off.What's the deal? He's free to support whoever he wants and wish whatever team he isn't supporting to lose. There is really nothing to be triggered about
Poor guy. Game of his life and gets sparked out after 2 minutes.
Need to settle down.
I can not believe that Garces is the referee.
Surprised by the start. England look a bit nervous and SA playing with confidence. Got to settle down here
Kicking game has to be better
Injury can’t have helped.
Strong start by South Africa. They’re winning the territorial battle.
England look so nervous.
Passing has been dreadful
Wow what a lose pass. Come on lads get your sh** together
Jesus, getting absolutely battered and we are passing terribly. Not a good combo
Wow
What the feck is garces playing at, that’s clearly not releasing
Shocking start England
England haven’t turned up at all.
At least you are only 3 down. Plenty of time to sort things out.
I never thought you would run away with this after last week there was too much assumption going on even from the pundits right after the final whistle.

What’s going on? England are looking shocking so far.
Shocking lack of discipline
I know very little about rugby, only the the basic rules and seen maybe 20 games in my whole life. Watching cos England are in a sporting final.
So far, after 20 Mins, England seem inhibited, tense, like they are playing the occasion and not the opposition.
South Africa seem to be free of nerves and playing with confidence and freedom.
Is that what is happening?

So far, yes.
We’ve woken up a bit
Taken advantage of the knock on!
Pretty much. They're making basic errors and are off the pace.
Its still close so with a bit of momentum and a couple of things going their way they could turn it around.
St Africa came flying out of the blocks against NZ for 20 mins or so and then fell away.
It'll be tight either way
Pretty much our usual game plan. If a strong team can stop us in the first 20, they should be able to win. We didn’t take advantage of that early pressure.
We are all over the place. Not even doing the basics.
You really should have more points on the board.
This is so frustrating, England haven’t turned up and look overwhelmed by the occasion.
England players have slippery hands today
Definitely, England have done well not to give away more penalties because we don't really run with the ball.
England were so disciplined against NZ, too sloppy today. It’ll cost them at this rate.
England lucky just to down by 3 - as awful as we’ve been. Talking about a huge let down. Still time to turn this around
Its working so far though. Just need to keep the pressure on and the error count down. England are rattled at the moment.
SA are 2 for 2 in finals, my money is on them making it 3 for 3
I’m in Knysna at the moment, it’s really something to witness. Great atmosphere, shame I don’t know the first thing about rugby. Came here to check whether England are playing are as bad as I thought they were.
Underhill is relentless. Hopefully a momentum change for England now.
