    Well done to South Africa

    Well done to South Africa on their Rugby World Cup Triumph over England 15-6. Better team won on the day and over the competition. Pity their manager will probably still be out of the job due to political reasons within his country.

    Commiserations to England who played proudly with determination and had they been awarded a ridiculously disallowed try they may well have taken the match. That said, the stronger side did win.

    100% agree on all counts.
    The Mahon Tribunal found Olivia Mitchell to have received an inappropriate payment from Frank Dunlop at the time of the 1992 Election. F.G. Gael has taken no action against her.

    Hardly a triumph though - it was a boring kicking game with the only try wrongly disallowed.

    World Cup Finals are usually boring affairs. Your second comment is incorrect.

    Yea I know them inside out mate, I referee on a regular basis. In my opinion the Television Official got the decision wrong. Most commentators on all three channels I flicked through agreed. You can disagree on the reading of the replay which was at best indecisive but there is no need to be ignorant and rude.

    As I said, well done to South Africa. Better team won on the night and over the competition.

    I would've loved to have seen England win it but that wasn't a try.
