Flood with some redemption.

So nice to hear Barnes having to be quiet for a bit.

Finally something half decent.

First decent thing Ashton has done in an England shirt for about 18 months :lol:

 

[HenryChinaski]

shame about the drop goal, but otherwise, better tackling from England, more aggressive in defending the gainline

 

[LittleGuy]

Good option by Morne there, keeps the scoreboard ticking over and the pressure back on England, almost at a point a minute for the Boks at the moment!!!

Mouritz Botha is so ****, I have no idea why he's in the England squad let alone a starter.

thank god youngs has gone back to normal - why wouldn't we want him to box-kick it out right next to where he kicks it

 

[HenryChinaski]

One for Cole against the Beast. Small beer really.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

They should take Marler off at halftime - he's not making any ground ball in hand, is missing tackles, is giving away penalties and is getting dicked in the scrum.

This, I can't understand how he's constantly picked. He's like a worse version of Donnacha O'Callaghan.

Lot of issues for Lancaster and Co to sort out at Half Time.

Unfortunately, I think "lots" is generous.

I think Lambie might get replaced, just to be safe. He's been playing pretty well, some great kicks. can't believe Francois Steyn missed that one, he usually slots em over at 60m at sea level. Our forwards are playing like beasts and Habana is back to his awesome self. I am liking this.

Don't know when the last time was that I said that. But I am LIKING this

 

[callsign.springbok]

an enjoyable half of rugby.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Okay... Some things:

- Morne Steyn should NOT be our 1st choice kicker when you have Lambie on the field.
- Morne Steyn adds little besides kicking and that is just **** now as well, send him home!
- Coetzee, Alberts, Bismarck have amazing line-breaks
- Hougaard plays better, gets more support at the rucks as well
- JP Pietersen playing good as well. Just unlucky not to have scored a try yet

 

[Feicarsinn]

This could be a good result for England in some ways. Maybe it'll finally convince Lancaster that the likes of Botha and Youngs are no more than journeymen.

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Going back to the Alberts try, did it touch the feet on one of the front row players on its way out?

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

I thing it did... Which makes it free to play right? If it goes out without touching a player it's a reset.

The Sky pundits, at least, don't seem to think so...
