Rugby union?

Amazing accuracy that South African flyhalf has converting those penalties. Can't be easy from 40 metres and under the pressure of a final.
 
Typical tactics. Game isn't going your way, the team is being outplayed everywhere on the field, so it's time to moan about the referee!
 
Frustrating watch so far. But doesn't feel like it's over yet, one converted try and we're back in front, 40 minutes remaining, England can do this.
 
Were never gonna get any favours from a Frenchman are we.

Not after favours just consistency, his arm is up straight away when anything looks a bit iffy from England but when SA are constantly fouling (see the 20+ phase where they were playing from the floor and constantly trying to go over the top) he said there was only 2 fouls, gimme a break there were at least 7 that he would've given to SA.
 
We won the semi and everyone moaned about the ref then too. It's pretty obvious.

Let's be fair here. Most of the England supporters were expecting a walkover in this game. You're not getting that here so now it's time to complain about something other than how the team are playing.

South Africa's defence has been astounding, both here and against Wales. The game will come down to mistakes by the players and that's what's happening now. Even the pundits are saying so in the studio.

Also, I think everyone expected SA to come out and kick like they did against Wales. That was just a tactic in that game. They're so strong in the scrum and the mail, and also when moving forward. In fact, I was annoyed when they didn't roll forward more in the game against Wales because they were overpowering them everytime they played that way.
 
England have been poor but haven't had any breaks from the ref, simple as that really.

No? They got 25 phases in to trying for a score against a stalwart SA defence and had a penalty to play. They played it and couldn't get over the line, so kicked the penalty. No breaks at all really.
 
SA defence has been brilliant, credit where it's due. England making too many errors though, and giving the ref too many chances to dink them.
