Just didn't turn up at any stage. From the team being late to the ground, to Sincklers injury knocking the stuffing out of the team, to basic error after basic error.
South Africa executed their game plan to perfection. Deserved winners

Perhaps unfair but not the first time the team have choked completely under Jones.

Bill Beaumont bowing to Eddie Jones. Telly turned off.
Well done South Africa.

Not a fan of either code of rugby, and did not watch it. However, not at all surprised when I found out the result just now.
Everyone connected with England just seemed far too overconfident and complacent. Ripe for a fall and being taken down a peg or two.

Best team won.
We hardly got any of the ball, and when we did it seemed we panicked. Scrum was a mess, as was the breakdown.
At the end of the first half we butchered a couple of massive overlaps and then settled for a penalty - i felt if we could have got our noses in front we would be ok but alas not to be.

Better team won, they played to their strengths. Glad not to see their Andy Gibb wannabe scrum half for a while.

South Africa deserved their win, they played their tactical game to perfection. However they won ugly and it sure wasn’t a game for the purist.

Three World Cups and they’ve scored two tries, and both of those when we’d largely given up.

Doesn't really matter. They've won three World Cups. Fair play to them.

We have some amazing talent. What we need to learn is how to avoid these massive drop offs in performance. At our best we beat anyone, but today South Africa just had to be decent and let us implode.

Huge disappointment, SA did to us what we did to NZ. Still, if England can't win it I'm glad SA did and none of the other 6N countries nor our Antipodean cousins.

Only watched the last ten minutes of each half - and the radio commentary of the first 30 minutes of the second half. (Nothing gets in the way of my Saturday morning parkrun!) From that short glimpse, I'd have to agree with the general consensus that the better team won.
