How he makes the 23 ahead of Ludlum is really puzzling to me.Tichtheid wrote: Sat Oct 21, 2023 7:41 pm Billy V hasn't been a force for years now, Shirley there is someone else in English rugby?

What a load of old shite.
I'm almost there, but still not really. Expect us to start losing once the subs start coming on.BnM wrote: Sat Oct 21, 2023 7:48 pm This is cruelly giving me the slightest sliver of hope. That not only are we not losing by more than 20 already but we're slightly ahead.

They are. I think SA are the right type of pack for this England side to look good against. There's no Real subtlety in the SA forward play. No shifting the contact or offloads (granted weather is bad).
Dont worry, they are toying with you, giving you hope only to tear it cruelly away in the second half...make it more painfulBnM wrote: Sat Oct 21, 2023 7:48 pm This is cruelly giving me the slightest sliver of hope. That not only are we not losing by more than 20 already but we're slightly ahead.
It is cruel. Hopefully they will kill off all hope in the third quarter instead of leaving it till the last 20 minutes.BnM wrote: Sat Oct 21, 2023 7:48 pm This is cruelly giving me the slightest sliver of hope. That not only are we not losing by more than 20 already but we're slightly ahead.

England are offering all they have to offer - defence, kick the leather off it and chase, take three points if an opportunity. Saffers have been very charitable so far in aiding our limited game plan, hope it continues

Bokke look done en dusted.
We are shit. We lost to France by 43 points at home. It just shows how bad at bottling world cup matches the French and Irish are.
Edit we also lost to Ireland by 13 and Scotland at home by 6.

Extremely funny half of rugby. Manu's shithousery costing us. England pack spoiling like fuck. Wingers existing just to chase kicks (and doing a great job). Farrell having his regular SA mental disintegration, putting in shit kicks, yelling at the ref, getting penalised for even more backchat, but nailing the penalties. Marler being huge in the tight but giving away a million penalties. Lawes picking the SA rucks clean. Mitchell raising his game finally. Mbonambi being incapable of throwing. SA losing their fucking minds over facing a team that simply refuses to play any rugby.
I thought the plan was for SA to play some rugby with Libbok at 10? Did Big Brain Rassie not realise than England's biggest weakness was teams willing to move the ball and run at them? This is weapons grade stupidity from the Saffers. Sadly I expect all change in the second half.
Absolutely no fear of a game of rugby breaking out in that half but it's been enjoyable for fans of absolute shithousery. Very funny stuff.

I expect the scrum solidity to melt away once Marler and Cole head off and that could well be the game in conditions like these.Raggs wrote: Sat Oct 21, 2023 7:49 pmI'm almost there, but still not really.
