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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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