Japan did such a great job as hosts, what an awesome World Cup this was. Incredible stuff

[sergarlantyrell]

Fancy that... A ref telling a captain to speak to his team and actually giving them time to do so before resuming play... What a revolutionary concept.

Love how "Curry & Underhill" sounds like a mild-mannered firm of solicitors from Surrey, when in fact they represent one of the most fearsome back row partnerships in rugby today.

The amount of times I’ve watched this is really unhealthy but I will never be stopped

Never seen the All Blacks so convincingly beaten before. And feels even more so on the rewatch.

Maro Itoje was unbelievable in this game. Lawes before he was taken off. Tuilagi and Ford. Really good performance.

South African here. Amazing to see the English do what we could not. Absolute demolition. So much respect!

[antonrudenham]

It's really hard to believe that this English side was comprehensively turned inside out by SA just 7 days later!
It just doesn't seem possible.
Rugby's great ain't it?

[tracypalmer]

Poor Sam Underhill! 2 disallowed tries against the ABs in a year!
What a monster in the tackle though?!

One of England's best ever performances. As an England fan it was so great to see this, but such a shame that the squad couldn't reproduce this sort of form in the final versus South Africa. It was if they had no energy left, physically or mentally, for the final. Such a pity. Since this great effort, England have rather lost their way with very poor showings in the Six Nations in both 2021 and 2022.

What a performance by England. As an ABs fan it’s tough to watch, but England was brilliant and humble in victory

[chascook]

Not everyone is a fan of Farrell but the guy is a warrior alright. Goes down w a leg injury yet gets up and forces the NZ out into touch in first half. Dedicated bloke alright

[franksmith]

Props to this channel for giving us a full replay

I remember watching this and was sweating and had butterfly’s from the moment they came out the tunnel to until the final whistle. As an Englishman, the way england looked when they were doing the anthem was frightening. Some of them looked green with nerves. Farrel on the end looked the most composed of any of them and that takes some guts! Anyway the result was exactly what I spent 4 years dreaming of and even though we weren’t at our peak when the final came, I think this match and England’s performance was the highlight of the whole tournament. People will remember SA for getting the cup, but they’ll remember england just as much for this performance.

It's amazing how as they try to push forward they have to be careful not to do any penalty as that may give away opportunities for points to the other team.
I never watched Rugby before and am just realizing how incredible the sport is.
Like a dance, an artistic choreography involving teamwork and sportsmanship.

Such a high quality game of rugby. England were outstanding.

[matiaspinatzecchin]

what a good game, I think is one of my favourites from the last 20 years

[johanschulze]

Can we please get the final as well! This was a fantastic game though. I never though I would see the all blacks out played so clinically and methodically. England had an answer and counter move to each and every one NZ had.

The scoreline flattered New Zealand. England were totally dominant
