For f***s sake Peat, it's all your fault. I really am very disappointed by that - I was beginning to think we had a chance. silly me.Originally Posted by Peat
That's gash.
Would've rather had Mullan come straight in at 1, to be honest (and PDJ on the bench, as I think he's far better than the penalty he gave away first test suggested) - but he played midweek so no chance.
Was said tongue in cheek a few days ago
Not today, good luck though

I do delight in bad news it's true, but your optimism there is your own f**king fault!

No VBookie? I'd like to stake all on the Bokke.

Eng prop Corbisiero out of third SA test
22 June 2012, 10:59
England loosehead prop Alex Corbisiero has been ruled out of the third test against South Africa after suffering a recurrence of a knee injury, team management announced on Friday.
The 23-year-old Corbisiero made an immediate impact when he came off the bench during England's 36-27 defeat in the second test against the Springboks and was rewarded with a place in the starting side for the final test of the series on Saturday.
Corbisiero's place will now be taken by Joe Marler, who will move up from the bench to make his third appearance, with Paul Doran Jones drafted in as one of the replacements.
"Alex trained well early in the week having played well at the weekend but the knee reacted over the last 24 hours," England head coach Stuart Lancaster said in a statement.
"It is a shame for Alex as he was desperate to take part but it's the right thing to put in Joe and we are sure he can build on his performances in the first two tests,"
England: 15-Alex Goode, 14-Chris Ashton, 13-Jonathan Joseph, 12-Manusamoa Tuilagi, 11-Ben Foden, 10-Toby Flood, 9-Danny Care, 8-Thomas Waldrom, 7-James Haskell, 6-Tom Johnson, 5-Geoff Parling, 4-Tom Palmer, 3-Dan Cole, 2-Dylan Hartley (cap), 1-Joe Marler.
Replacements: 16-Lee Mears, 17-Paul Doran Jones, 18-Mouritz Botha, 19-Phil Dowson, 20-Lee Dickson, 21-Owen Farrell, 22-Brad Barritt.
Although you'd have to go with a South African win at this point, Care and Haskell are too much needed additions and I'm really interested to see how they go. Care takes much of the best of both Youngs and Dickson in one player so hopefully he can transfer his domestic form to the game tomorrow. Haskell meanwhile is more than capable of coping with the physicality of Potgeiter and co so hopefully he has a good game *without being sin-binned!*
Added the vBookie...
Less than half of this squad should be really making the 22. Compared to Wales, whose only faults lie in not trying different half-backs/hookers/Ian Evans. *sigh*
Not optimistic...
I had England to win s part of my ambitious 5-way bet. Now we lost I don't have to want them to win so Go Bokke

Can't say i want England to win, but a win for the NH against one of the top three is a MUST! Good luck lads
90 seconds in and Care already showing quicker and better distribution than than we had in the past two tests!
Decent scrum but I woukdnt risk tryi g to shove, just get the ball out ASAP.

Flood off.
Unlucky from palmer. Got abit stuck and couldnt really get out. Clear penalty though
I ****ing jhate it when farrel kicks through aimlessly. Waste
'Stitches to the eyeball', ouch!
We just dont look like doing anything except missing tackles
awful.
waldrom's spare tyre. hougaard's box kicking.
Palmer has surprised me. Apart from having absolutely no discipline, he's actually got through a lot of work. He's probably done more I the half then Botha did in the entire first two tests.
I'd be happy if Elton and Ruan comes on for the second half. Can't believe I'm saying I'd be happy about Jantjies coming on but there you have it.
Walsh giving some ridiculous calls to South Africa. Aplons turnover should clearly been a penalty to us, as the tackler must release the tackled player before going for the ball. I absolutely hate seeing referees give penalties after about 10 seconds of nothing happening - if you see an offense put your arm out right away, or it just appears to everyone (or, I suspect, you are) you're being influenced by shouting SA players. We need to tackle better. Goode should have been allowed to take the kick instead of Flood before Flood went off. Silly kick by Farrell as well.
Dunno why the Saffas have bitched about Olivier so much, he seems to be making better ground than Tulagi and Frans Steyn did.
Biggest hit I've ever seen Ashton put in!

If the Saffers wake up, they will walk this game.
Errors, mistakes, poor discipline, panic, too many players not playing to any reputation (Waldron and Farrell).....pretty poor game and pretty poor English side I am sorry to say. Step forward...............nah, leap backwards!
Pienaar has made a difference.
How the **** did they stop Kankowski on that one...
And now JP getting me closer to some vcash.
missed conversion. 3/6 for this game so far. this must be the last test match for Morne.
I have not seen worse kicking than the English from any team anywhere since the local village Morris Dancers tried to do the CanCan....................
BdP is key to the Boks scrum.
It's much weaker with Augustus Gloop at hooker.
