Half time and England looking very sharp and trying all sorts.
South Africa are so solid in defence now they’ve woken up a bit.
Big hits some great phases and a nice flowing game.
Need to stop conceding the penalties though… |

Obviously Eddie forgot to tell them that at half time. |

I'm afraid my private school education, in which I which I was forced to play loosely-organised violence (which they called rugby) on a regular basis against my will and natural instinct for survival, crushed anybody's hopes that I might ever feel anything other than pure hatred for rugby. Luke |

"Last ten minutes will be interesting.."
And painful.
England didn't do enough to take energy from the Bok forwards while they were playing well in the first half. Losing Tuilagi early didn't help but we've been outplayed in the second half. |

You could just ignore it and posts about it then.
BTW.My council estate education probably did me no favours. |

"I love the irony of a captain chatting about yellow cards, then getting one himself!
That is a tough yellow.
It's a collision nothing more."
I disagree, he wraps his arm around the man, thereby tackling him in the air. |

His arms are out for the ball the player just ends up in there.
I understand the need to protect players but that is accidental and needs an element of common sense. |

I agree it’s a no win situation. |

Agreed. But at this level they have a video ref.
If you were asked to judge that with a the tech what's your decision?
The good thing about rugby: There's industrial language everywhere whilst still respecting the merry whistle blower. |

"Well that was definitely worth watching 
We started so well, veered off a little when the big boys came on but blimey then young whipper snappers we’ve got certainly know how to turn the speed on when they need too, ohh and they can kick a penalty over too
Can’t wait for 2023  "
This is probably the best review of a sporting event ever.  |
