England didn't deserve to win by not trying to score tries but the Boks didn't show much flair either.

The final should be great between the two best teams ever playing for their 4th Cup win. NZ looked better in their semi final and beat SA in the Rugby Championship, however SA smashed them in a pre tournament game.

At least their was skill on display in the NZ game, that last try by Will Jordan, chef's kiss

Can we do away with penalties at scrum time and only award short arms?
