South Africa vs England - 04/07/26

[Saintjay]

Chessum showing some typical Leicester terrible defence

In all fairness he's probably used to getting skinned by backs, wearing some green and gold on their shirts

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

Eh? Kolbe jumped into him, there's no tackle there.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Murley really isn’t international class at all.

Honestly that was clear from his first test

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Why is that a penalty? He's stood exactly where the ball is going to land and Kolbe jumps into him?

 

[Wasps92]

What a shocking call that is.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

In all fairness he's probably used to getting skinned by backs, wearing some green and gold on their shirts

Shame the saints lads can’t do that in a England shirt

 

[Ceteris]

Murley can be brain dead sometimes, look at where he's making contact. How are you going to win the ball there?

 

[Reiser99]

Murley really isn’t international class at all.

But he's highly rated by the England coaches, because at this point in a WC cycle you totally want to be picking people you have a good feeling about.

 

[Demfad]

England just need discipline here. The match is very winnable.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Murley can be brain dead sometimes, look at where he's making contact. How are you going to win the ball there?

What did he do wrong, though? He was exactly where the ball was going to land

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Not sure Pepper on instead of Pollock makes sense really atm

Mitchell and Slade are good moves at least

 

[Wasps92]

Discipline has completely gone to **** here.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Feel like England get done for the in the air lineout tug more than most.

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

Here comes LCD to lose us every lineout.

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

If another England winger had as bad a game as Feyi Waboso has had today he would get dropped and not play again for two years.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

God we looked knackered

 

[Ceteris]

What did he do wrong, though? He was exactly where the ball was going to land

He put hands on Kolbe mid air, it wasn't much but it will always be given

 

[Wasps92]

How easy was that?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Honestly Pollock should have come on when we where 3 tries down not like we had anything to lose and a good test

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

He put hands on Kolbe mid air, it wasn't much but it will always be given

Kolbe put a knee on him you mean. Surprised he wasn't sent off for touching the golden child.

 

[Reiser99]

Big difference is I feel like as soon as the Boks get into the England 22, they will score at some point. With England it's more like 50%.

 

[Ceteris]

Where was Freeman going?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Where was Freeman going?

Home like all the saints lads who are doing nothing

At least the tigers players are doing something even if it’s bad

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

17 green definitely brought that down

 

[Ceteris]

How's that a pen against England?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

17 green definitely brought that down

Yeah SA scrum gets away with a lot because of their reputation

 

[Grizwald]

Playing the world champions at their spiritual home was never going to easy but christ England have made it easy for them at times.

 

[Reiser99]

England still trying to tap back and haven't noticed teams have figured it out and are waiting for it.

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

Yeah SA scrum gets away with a lot because of their reputation

And at the ruck.

I'm always astounded by how little nous England have with walking the line at the breakdown. Clearly the ref doesn't mind hands and not rolling away as long as you pull back after a couple of seconds, so do that - don't give the opposition perfect clean ball after watching yours get spoiled repeatedly.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

I’m assuming by englands play that it is a torrential downpour
