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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Smith overdoing on the cross field kick.

Followed by a poor option from Smith.

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

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

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

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!

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
