Well done South Africa! Deserved winners and the great Nelson Mandela would be proud!
Rugby World Cup 2019 aka Squishy McSquish goes into a meltdown thread
- Thread starter utdalltheway
- Start date
England’s fans and players got so big headed and carried away after one good performance. Thought they’d already won it 
Funnily enough, I think New Zealand would've beat SA comfortably. But the England match up wasn't the best for the all blacks.
Congratulations South Africa
true warriors

I’d say enjoy the bronze medal but you didn’t even get that, so carry on.
Sport doesn’t work like that. Surely you should know. Wales have got England’s number, we also got a lot closer to beating SA than you.
Tilted?
He's worse.
What a magnificent man Kolisi is
Absolutely thrashed. England were rubbish. Go Bokke!!!

Unlike the English, that

Sure you have. Struggled against Australia and New Zealand who England dispatched with ease, but would 100% have beaten England.
Where’s that smug grin now, eh? Reality check for many of those players today.
congrats @SquishyMcSquish for the first ever Rugby meltdown on the Caf
Someone going into meltdown in here I see
You don't see any England fans arguing that. Just giggling at how tilted you got from a bit of fun.Bullied
Farrell sounds like he'll cry any time -- it's brutal to interview the opposing captain right after..
I dunno. After their performance against NZ and in light of them being The Greatest Sporting Nation, I think calling them bottlers is both fair and fun for the purposes of this thread.
Yeah you proved in this years 6 nations how you’d also smash wales
And also proved how you’d walk over SA after then having such a close game with wales.
Well done
What smug grin? We were outplayed but we are proud of England and they have done us proud. Love it how the bitters come out the woodwork when England lose.
The basics have been piss poor. Youngs is so below the required quality.
Matt Dawson's an idiot and anyone who knows rugby knew England weren't massive favourites. Slight favourites but SA are no joke and the game was always coming down to fine margins.

Yeah, if the purpose is to wind up some of the more arrogant fans in here, then yes. We're not all arrogant English fans though.
Possibly. The first 5 minutes were so decisive, like last week v NZ. Don't think it makes a difference but losing Sinckler and the early scrums set the tone for the rest of the game.
Erm. England were shit. Like really shit.
SA absolutely mauled them and with zero reply.
Have no idea what all the hype was about.
Just seeing the emotion on the squad and coaches is really moving. This means so much to them and their nation. First SA black player to lift the cup having started life in a township with so much hardship.
Ben Stokes is trending on twitterJokes aside, this is massive for our country.
The first black South African captain lifting the trophy for the team and sport that personified apartheid, during a very difficult time for our country.

Congratulations to South Africa. Worthy champions.
England gave away too many penalties and were rubbish in the scrum.
We always get this when SA wins the world cup. It's an easy narrative and history suggests it's putting a plaster on a stab wound.
I prefer to think of it as playful teasing rather than wumming. Much more inclusive.
Well played England. You had a great tournament, unlucky in the final.
Brilliant.
SA have become the first team to lose a pool game and win the WC.
Congrats to them, we were stifled and out fought. They got to dictate the game.

Fair play to Erasmus too. Incredible turnaround for the team really.
Said with no sense or irony after getting spanked by a team New Zealand easily beat earlier in the tournament.
It's incredible stuff watching these celebrations. Love it.
