Yeah, feeling it as well. Boks starting to strangle England now.
Bleeding penalties. Winning the contact for the most part.

England have stopped playing. Like the blockers in midfield from south Africa. Like American football.

Well done by England. Defended very well that.

Silly by Kwagga lunging there. With the new goal line dropout it doesn't make sense.

Marx with the jackal and penalty. Go for the corner boys. Time to take away whatever hope they are holding onto.

Forwards getting mullered. As usual, we lose focus when we can't get parity up front.

Every team does. If your forwards are fucked, game over.

Great maul defense by England there, but 2 more penalties in their 22,

Pressure starting to build, but England holding on.

Allways. We just look confused and go back to 9 man game, even when it isn’t working. What did Einstein say about definition of insanity.

Eben fell into that tackle. Seems like mitigation to me.

Yellow would be the norm, but it would be harsh IMO.

Brace takes an option outside of current application of laws. It was a swinging arm.

Some teams scavenge on the scraps to find a way, though, and England are not good at that. It's why we usually struggle badly against SA as we rarely outmuscle them.

Until that little incident, I wasn't even aware Ewels was on the pitch.

He's had less negative influence than usual but that was a wrong call.

Not really happy with that explanation of "no fault". There are plenty of situations where we ping, card and suspend players who haven't done anything wrong in their technical approach.

The finish was great, but how good was Quirke's pass from the lineout to spread the ball in the first place?
