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

Both missed tackles have looked like he's trying to avoid making a tackle.sockwithaticket wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2024 6:03 pm Steward ceding a cross field to a man half his size

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

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

He seems to have managed to get worse since he last played in a white shirt.I like neeps wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2024 6:05 pmBoth missed tackles have looked like he's trying to avoid making a tackle.sockwithaticket wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2024 6:03 pm Steward ceding a cross field to a man half his size
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.
I saw that last week too.

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

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.JM2K6 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2024 6:28 pmYup.
