That's a more reasonable time to start drinking! Not sure how well beers will go down at 5am... but I'm open to exploring the idea. Hopefully with a nice full English breakfast if the pub can get his chef in that early.

Sounds pretty perfect to me!
Enjoy it and hopefully England come away with the cup!

Yeah typical final rugby with both teams making basic mistakes and the nerves of the event playing a big role.....depth of the SA engine room won it - with help from the ref on the Mapipi try - the only 4 people in world rugby that didnt see the forward pass were the officials - and please remember i am a South African celebrating the win!! With regards to the engine room - de jager goes off early after doing his shoulder and mostert comes on having pretty close to a man of the match performance....he was the damn support runner for the Kolbi try!!!

SA def deserved it, but that was an awful 80 minutes of refereeing.
Well done!

That game sucked to watch. First 30 points from Penalty kicks. Ugh.

Definitely not a showcase of the great sport of rugby.
Neither team, nor the ref, were on their game today.

South Africa were certainly on their game, if anything they showed more threat running with the ball than they have done in previous games.
Shame that England couldn't reproduce the levels of rugby they showed against Australia and NZ. I guess partly accumulated fatigue, partly nerves (lots of early handling errors) and partly because SA didn't give them a chance to settle. Agree that for the neutral it was a slightly disappointing finish to what has otherwise been a great World Cup. Finals are often fairly claustrophobic games without a lot of tries, but the fact that the result looked pretty much decided from early in the second half was a shame.

Nothing to do with the game, but our Uber driver last night was talking about It and casually dropped that he used to play for the SA national team. Just from looking at him it’s entirely plausible.
Did you get his name? Seems an unlikely fall in fortunes (unless he just really likes driving strangers around and does it for fun not money), South Africans are pretty serious about their rugby and being an ex-Springbok would normally open up plenty of career opportunities even if he didn't make much money playing the sport itself.
