England vs Springboks

[ScarfaceClaw]

That try has saved England from a repeat penalty yellow card.

[ASMO]

Freddy coildnt be more shit, tried to tackle the invisible man

[Oxbow]

Lolz, Steward really is shit.

[tc27]

Steward mugged off again for another try

[sockwithaticket]

Steward ceding a cross field to a man half his size

[Slick]

Steward is a bit of donkey. Should have been nothing in his mind except hitting Kolbe

[I like neeps]

Steward ceding a cross field to a man half his size

Both missed tackles have looked like he's trying to avoid making a tackle.

[ScarfaceClaw]

That’s twice Itoji has jumped into the tackle. I thought that was banned?

[Big D]

Class line by Underhill.

[Enzedder]

Should never have been given that try - definite penalty for the late tackle.

[Sards]

The Itoje highlights reel is going to be fun

[sockwithaticket]

So we can attack, we just can't defend worth a shit.

[I like neeps]

Great try, great game

[tc27]

Underhill sjowing how to carry against the big guys

[ASMO]

Should never have been given that try - definite penalty for the late tackle.

Stop trolling Enz

He seems to have managed to get worse since he last played in a white shirt.

I was already fuming about Furbank being dropped for him, now I'm incandescent.

[Oxbow]

Jesus, JVP is glacial.

[PCPhil]

Precision Slade pass to the head.

[ASMO]

JVP vying Freddy for being the shittest player on the park

[petej]

Jesus, JVP is glacial.

Yet still faster than Spencer when he passes.

[charltom]

I am rapidly falling in love with Sleightholme, buzzcut mullet and dodgy 'stache not withstanding.

His determination going forwards and nose for the line are valuable assets.

There is a whiff of Banjo Boy from deliverance about him.

There really is!

I saw that last week too.

[Oxbow]

What the shit was that kick.

[ScarfaceClaw]

What the shit was that kick.

Which one?

[PCPhil]

Smith overdoing on the cross field kick.

[petej]

What the shit was that kick.

Followed by a poor option from Smith.

[tc27]

That was good by Stewart (to be fair as we are all slashing him off)

[ScarfaceClaw]

That was good by Stewart (to be fair as we are all slashing him off)

It’s what he does well. Take the kick and then advance the ball.

[ScarfaceClaw]

How is this a Sefrican scrum?

[ASMO]

It was uncontested

[tc27]

Going to have to change the approach at the scrum

[JM2K6]

Much like the world cup match, South Africa are trying to win this without ever exploiting our main weakness

[Sards]

Libbok

[tc27]

All SA need to do is milk the scrum for penalties

[petej]

Much like the world cup match, South Africa are trying to win this without ever exploiting our main weakness

They have exploited the poor fringe defence but should definitely be going wide more.

[Chilli2]

This could be tricky for us. England has the makings of a good team that is playing badly and is badly coached.
If their forwards go to the gutter and then it is anyone's game to win.

I'm looking forward to this test.

I know you're being genuine but I properly laughed at that

Hi.

Yup. They are very keen to play their normal game but even the slightest deception and holding their depth will make England chase losing causes and create doglegs. We've seen nothing from their centres, it's bizarre

Good contest but largely down to Libbok being shit, a few SA forwards being dumb/clumsy, and Smith's attacking genius

Hi.

The phrase "England has the makings of a good team that is playing badly and is badly coached" is still extremely funny though!

[bok_viking]

To many unforced errors from the boks. And their defense look lazy today, very slow to get up and put pressure, leaving many gaps. Hope they sort this out in the 2nd half. Libbok has been ok but not what i would expect on a relative dry evening, not influential enough at the moment.
England definitely up for this game, hope boks stop giving them easy ways up the pitch like they did so far.

If they were genuinely in trouble you know pollard would be on.

I can see Pollard coming on around the 50 mark
