England were superb in horrendous conditions. The weird thing, though, is that their effort is being widely and correctly lauded as a tactical masterclass, playing rugby that, when SA played it in 2019, was ‘boring’. It was smart, absorbing and played to their strengths.

I'm confused. Kelly Homes does the 800/1500m double at the '04 Olympics in times faster than Caster's '18 CWG double. Holmes makes the Queen's Honours List and becomes Dame Kelly. Caster becomes the subject of an effort to slow her down. Make any sense to you? Hmm, me neither.

Genge had a knee on the ground before this, causing the instability. That was the explanation from the referee. Kitshoff correctly penalised in the first half for exactly the same thing.

Been asked by many about the heat and humidity Boks are training in. To use a practical anecdote, in the Japan game, played after 7pm, one of the Boks’ tight forwards lost five kilos during the game... that’s how hot and humid!

So much debate about rugby refereeing these days; I have two simple requests that I am certain will improve the game. 1. Police the offside line, in all its forms, strictly. 2. Stop 'coaching' players or asking them politely to stop doing things...penalise them if they infringe.

So PSDT's red against France in Marseille last year must also be struck from his record as Kwagga pushed him into the contact with Danty. Surely? Although at the time, that was not seen as mitigation and the RC and subsequent ban was upheld.
"The Committee found that a late change in dynamics due to England No 2’s interaction in the contact area brought about a sudden and significant change in direction from the ball carrier."
Guys...It's Basham's fault he got smashed in the head by Farrell's shoulder.

“An absolute farce” that England, playing at home in front of packed crowds, winning every toss in the series and with Australia robbed of their best bowler, couldn’t win the first two tests and came to Manchester 1-2 down. Some introspection may be useful.
FFS. Has there ever been a less-deserved retention of the Ashes? From the Bairstow debacle to this rain-soaked fiasco, it’s an absolute farce that smirking Australia have ended up with the urn still in their hands. England comfortably the better side as this Test showed. Gutting.

While I am annoyed with myself for clicking on the click bait, it does allow me to say that the reason that, in the words of 'Ben Smith', South Africa has no 'unofficial world titles' (whatever those are) is that they are understandably pleased with their four official ones.
"There has been an irregular, unofficial world title match since the formation of the modern professional calendar in 1996."

Whereas PSDT, at 2.00 metres tall, made 28 tackles in the final and not one of them close to dangerous. There was a reason the Boks had the best disciplinary record at the tournament. They trained hard to alter behaviour and instinct.

Hello from test match day in Cardiff. At 03h58, a fire alarm in the team hotel, everyone evacuated for some forced mingling with departing night-clubbers on the pavement in the cold. 20 minutes later, back into hotel to go back to sleep. 07h20… repeat, (without the clubbers)!

Gabriel Jesus down in a heap, writhing in 'pain', and when he doesn't get the free kick, stages a miraculous recovery to try and win the ball back at full pace. Surely the sport needs to create a greater sanction for such blatant cheating? That's all it is.
