Rugby World Cup Final: South Africa Crushes England - Because I can't post it elsewhere

[GoneOffShore]

Watched the Rugby World Cup Final this morning. It didn't really get exciting until the second half. The first half was penalty after penalty and substitution after substitution.

Here's a link to the NYTimes coverage.

The first half was a battle of attrition, with both teams delivering punishing tackles and several players leaving the game early with injuries. But it was the powerful South African forward pack that set the tone, forcing England into several penalties during scrums, which contributed to a 12-6 South Africa lead at halftime on four penalty goals from flyhalf Handré Pollard.

4. Surprising result. We should have a Rugby section in Sports.

7. I was thinking the same thing.

Didn't used to watch sport, but went to a rugby match last year and found it fascinating.

Edinburgh vs Toulon at Toulon, right in the middle of the Gilet Jaune bullshit.
