Thanks for the graceful comment. My heart was certainly broken.
As they say in Afrikaans, "amper maar nog nie stamper nie". So near and yet so far!

Slept through that one GG but national day of mourning will be declared today... and will watch the repeat later. There will be much comment in the press too!! Penalty after the whistle? - I must get the son-in-law to explain that one!
Looking forward to the rugby this afternoon. In am in an electronic hookup ( WhatsApp group) with friends in Cape Town, here, in the UK, France and New Zealand, so South African, English, French and Kiwi supporters who all agree on one thing only! Namely that the French have the most blood thirsty anthem!

England looking by far the better team at the moment. Thank God for Handre Pollard!

Close but England deserved the win. Marcus Smith was a ray of light in terms of pure rugby. I can't wait to watch the All Blacks game.
