England finishes third at Rugby World Cup after holding off Pumas 26-23

Well played England, hats off to Los Pumas on a good tournament. It was always going to be asking a lot to win that match. Who knows - they may just go one step further in Australia '27 and make the Final.

Now onto the main event!

Well done England.

Nobody was expecting that before the tournament began.

Hope the Kiwis win it all.

and silvers in 2007 and 2019.

And 1991.

So the Anti-Rugby squad get 3rd... that's bad, because that means they'll not be changing their awful approach to the game.

What? This is rugby. It's not ballet. England perfect the art of forwards rugby. As do the Springboks and Argentina. What exactly are you expecting to see? Rugby is about tackles, rucks and mauls, and possession. Try running the ball about with your backs and no protective base and see what happens.

Sour grapes from a fan who only got as far as the quarter finals maybe.?
