And there we see it again. Clean take in own 22 and plenty of time to kick clear only to repeatedly truck it up, turn it over and concede points.
Just WTF is it that coaches see in that being a good tactic? You really are not likely to go 90m from a kick receive.

Referee bent as a nine bobber at the breakdown. SA flopping over, sealing off, holding on.. and he keeps pinging France. First reverse instance 5m from SA tryline...... and he pings France

The big diff between these sides is the Fre fwds have run some decent lines into space whereas the safas have simply looked to crash into the nearest opposition player.

What is it with this prattish crap from the English?
Bad bad attitude - especially from a junior side

Something happen at the end? Turned off as the final whistle went.
Didn't see anything really before that other than the lock messing about at the lineout. In fact the one other thing I did see was a SA player clapping enthusiastically in the face of an English player who kicked it out on the full.
Overall seemed to be played in pretty good spirit though. Always good to watch these games even if the conditions weren't great.

Love reading Torque's comments when a French is playing
Couldn't see the game but from what I read, the French kids found it hard going and are going to have to up their game for the serious fixtures.

They handed SA 10 points from the retarded refusal to clear their own 22 at the first good opportunity. Some other things remain very French too:
1) French hookers can't throw for sh*t
2) No-one in France can regularly catch a high ball

Player to watch vs England. Nr 13 Lorenzo Julies.
Both centres are pretty solid kids. Doing very well at school level. Things change when they move up into the senior leagues though when they face guys just as big and powerful.
