[RWC2019][The Final] England vs. South Africa (02/11/2019)

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

And yet this is about to be level.

Yup, a dream start! I had England down to be out of sight by now. More extended injury breaks to break up the flow of the game too (albeit both Boks obviously). This is turning into the sort of armwrestle that England are clearly trying to avoid with their tactics.

England tactics 10/10. England execution 2/10.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

What was that restart

 

[ncurd]

C'mon it's a restart you ******* idiots.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

What kept you?

Usually don't drink b4 12pm unless it's a World Cup final and England are playing.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Oh Curry - even our mightiest soldier has fallen.

 

[TommiG88]

Garces has decided to just penalise England at scrum

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Oh Curry - even our mightiest soldier has fallen.

Well, that's the lifters screwing up and curry not bring ready for it

 

[Pom in Exile]

How long is Garces going to let them keep the ball in the scrum, all ******* night it would appear.

 

[dullonien]

Could be a long day at the office for England with SA scrum well on top.

 

[Pom in Exile]

Garces has decided to just penalise England at scrum

Yep, we're ******.

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

This is the sort of game we wanted to avoid, but if we keep knocking on, it's gonna be a long day.

 

[ncurd]

Need to seriously consider bring Marker on.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Three players already gone off injured, not a great look for the game.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Need to seriously consider bring Marker on.

Don't want to do it too early or he'll be gassed later on. Anyway; it's on the tighthead that we're having real issues, Mako is mostly holding his own.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Same old fragile psychology whenever we're favourites

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

I might just switch off, this is terrible.

 

[Pom in Exile]

Id take off the rose glasses.

Just going by the AUSSIE commentary mate. Get back in your box.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Cipriani wouldn't have kicked that out on the full

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Neither of these teams really survived the semis.

 

[donmcdazzle]

Losing both De Jager and Etzebeth this early would be a nightmare for SA
