After their 36-0 capitulation to the Boks in the pool stages, England's progression to the final has been the stuff of fable. It's also been a bloody farce.
This is a side ranked seventh in the world heading into the tournament, and not looking a place better for much of the last four years.
This is a side who within 12 months have lost their last four Tests to the men in green and gold, at home, away and on neutral ground.
This is a side coached by man whose rugby philosophy is as up-to-date, relevant and inspiring as the Penny Farthing.
And this is a side who depend more on one man than the giraffes did on Noah.

NVDL: Couldn't agree more. They may give us a run for the first 10 - 15 minutes. The Boks need just remain disciplined and not get flustered, put points on the board, and then break England's spirit. Easy as english pie. But that makes it a disappointing final for me - would have preferred the All Blacks or the French. Especially a World Cup victory over the All Blacks would have been sweet.
