England made the same amount of handling errors (11) in the final as NZ made in the semi-final. Can't say how many were unforced though.
Also England and NZ scored a try each whilst England scored zero to South Africa's two.
The stats don't back your stance.
The stats you quoted are meaningless in regards to determining a dominant performance are are a complete misuse of stats.
I'll take your try's as an example,
First off it doesn't take the context of how the try's were scored, England scored zero against SA, great clear defensive greatness by SA.
But is it puts equal foot of both trys in the Eng V NZ as indicative of performance. It would take some very hard leaps of logic to suggest the ABs try was anything but a gift and the Eng one wasn't well worked by the English attack.
Then there's the missing parts of your data, time score, PD at time scored.
England's try came in the 2nd minute creating a 7 point lead immediately putting pressure on the AB at the start of the game. Conversely the ABs try was scored in the 57th but only put pressure on that it was less then a converted try this pressure lasted 5 minuites.
In the final SA's first try didn't come until the 66th minuite and was the first time SA was more than converted try difference apart from England. The second try came when England were under huge pressure because of the point differential and time remaining.
See saying 1try V 1 try and 2 trys V 0 trys doesn't even begin to tell the full story.
Different game pressures, different scoring times, it all goes into the mix. Try ti use the most basic of numbers doesn't even begin to paint the picture of the match.
I'm happy to say that was better performance by England against the ABs than the 2012 match despite England scoring less and the score diffrence being smaller. Because I watch rugby and understand basic things like score don't always reflect the complete story of the match.
