then there was the instance when the springboks were like 0.564643216487cm away from the tryline (ok maybe not but you get my drift). you can imagine the forwards from both teams pushing and stacking on top of one another and the human meat pile getting larger and larger but in the end i dunno what happened (sorry im noob) the ref gave south africa a penalty instead. which i thought was quite sad. nonetheless Percy Montgomery (he's pro! XD) nailed it to widen south africa's lead. i've got to say Montgomery is damn good at catching high balls. maybe cos i personally find it quite difficult to catch and cushion the ball properly (i think val understands what im talking about. XD)...basically he's pro. XD
ok back to the topic on the very very close try. when the men started to stand up, the camera suddenly focused on this english player whose entire face was WHITE. like white power all over his face. i was like O.o stunned for a while lol. then i realised that it was because his face was squashed on the painted tryline. LOL. (ok i apologize for laughing.)
i actually feel a tweeny bit sad for england. they played well considering the mess they were in 2 months ago. i quote a rwc blog on bbc:
"It's hard to admit that it's over, that we can't wake up tomorrow and do it all over again.
But it's time to shake a Springbok hand, give thanks for the extraordinary events of the past two months and salute an England team that went further than anyone in their right mind could expect them to."
im pretty sure i was sane. XD
ok i shall end my very unpro comments here hahaha. my life feels a little emptier without rwc. ): i will miss msging shiwei and slow gorilla in caps during matchs. haha.
by the way, can somebody tell me who's the man of the match? cant seem to find out. =X
