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

[McTallshort]

We have ******* bottled this

 

[ikvat]

Not Garces fault if SA scrum dominate so outrageously.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Bring Marler on to shore up other side. If we then lose either props, then goes uncontested, which may not be such a bad thing.

 

[Kapa O Pango]

War of attrition

 

[Derpus]

****.South Africa would be destroying England with an actual half back Faf sucks arse.

 

[Joe Schmidt]

England look tired

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

We need to just cut out the mistakes. How many knock-ons and missed passes in that first half?

 

[Scotty]

Our attack has not fuctioned in the backs, youngs forcing passes, 6 points down and that has never been come back from but nor has a team thats lost a game or a game being cancelled.

Come one England this is not over.

 

[donmcdazzle]

What's the Eddie ploy here? Fake an injury to Cole to go uncontested...

 

[Pom in Exile]

Garces is clueless

Clueless and wilful

 

[Bada-Bing!]

England look tired

They are not TCUP.

 

[duncanb]

Getting dicked at scrum.
Stop start nature is not helping the pace we want to play at.
Partly due to Garces allowing Alitalia of slowing down at contact area.
Fair play to SA they deserve lead.

 

[MarkyH]

Graces ****. Youngs ****. Daly ****. Handling ****.

 

[Scotty]

It seems we have a young team and the most capped experoenced player is losing his head the most....

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Only thing that is as painful as that first half is listening to SCW talk about that half

 

[geostar]

Eddie must be conspiring to get uncontested scrums

 

[die_mole]

Bring Marler on to shore up other side. If we then lose either props, then goes uncontested, which may not be such a bad thing.

You'd have to play a man down, which would be bad.

 

[Pom in Exile]

Daly has been a massive weak spot

Is that surprising though really?!

 

[Bluemoon]

For me, the SA set piece, their monster defence and their brutal physicality at the breakdown have meant the England have been under huge amounts of pressure, even when with the ball. The errors have come after that. Garces is playing long advantages, but generally has been alright.

England have more fitness than SA and have had a break. Whilst they are within a score, they can score from anywhere from broken play. A great second half to come.

 

[profitius]

They should take off Daly and get Cole off from a bruised toe injury.
