[2014 EOYT] England vs South Africa

[TRF_Olyy]

WTF, like.

 

[Groundhog]

Binny mistake 100. England haven't earned the right to play deep like they are. Grind the yards.

 

[Big Ewis]

both teams look very casual on attack...strange.

 

[TommiG88]

On this play, we won't make the knockouts. Pedestrian play. Could be a big loss today.

 

[TommiG88]

No movement. Care is left with no choices.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

FFS, great option there Wood.
You can see two backrows itching to get off the line, so you pick up the ball and don't even move. Smashed, holds on, penalty.

 

[TommiG88]

Brainless rugby. Nothing has changed since Johnson left.

 

[HenryChinaski]

All fears confirmed so far. Every player we said shouldn't be playing, has proved us right

Lancaster will drop the wrong players though. Farrell will play no matter what along with wood. Wood or robshaw, not both.

 

[Big Ewis]

biiiiig scrum England.

 

[Peat]

Nice stuff from de Villiers there to clear themselves.

 

[Big Ewis]

boy two big missed opportunities right then left for England.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Was that Robshaw who was talking to Walsh after JdV's clearance?
Think he was saying SA stamping at the ruck, but Walsh wouldn't check TMO and said that they'd check it after the game.

 

[TommiG88]

Butchered.

 

[Big Ewis]

England look so hesitant and confused on attack. Will have to be more clinical and sharp the next times, they may not have too many more.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Missed Lawes being tackled off the ball, but penalty afterwards anyway. Finally some points on the board.

Some of Care's passing has been terrible - you can't afford to throw to no-one/the floor when you're attacking in the opposition's 22.

 

[Peat]

If we keep having this much possession and territory it will be fine, but if we don't, then we're being awful wasteful.

 

[Big Ewis]

terrrrrible decision from Lambie and the Boks...seriously ??

 

[Big Ewis]

England defended that maul, just casual...Lancaster should've pounded it into his players' brains. TAKE IT DOWN !!!!!!

 

[TommiG88]

I'm usually an optimist with England. This isn't good, we are in big trouble. This isn't injuries! This is Lancaster being to loyal to his favourites. There should be no such thing as loyalty in international rugby. So many players being over looked and it worries me for the World Cup. Farrell is killing our attack every time he touches the ball.

I don't know what else to say. Just disheartened by the lack of improvement after the bright start.
