[QUOTE="Tayga, post: 976488, member: 79351"] I am quite relaxed and confident about tomorrow. Of course the nature of rugby is that you can always lose but I do not sense any complacency or overconfidence in our boys . We have won all our games VERY convincingly leaking very few tries . Of those that we conceded , one was in stoppage time ( USA) when Daly could have just booted it out. The one against BZ was a gift and the one against Australia was poor defence by Slade . Only the Argentina try can be classed as one that was unavoidable and truly the product of a great attack. I can see both defences having a strong day and I can’t see a game of free flowing rugby as the Bokks will try to keep it tight - but our pack is more mobile and if our flankers plus Itoje can get to the breakdown quicker then I expect that we should be able to feast on turnover possession and penalties. One possible weakness for us might be Daly at 15 and our wings being constantly peppered with kicks but so far they have been pretty solid under the high ball and I would be surprised if we dropped more than 1 or two . If the saffers kick poorly ( like against Wales ) and their chase is fragmented then we have got a back 3 that can exploit the gaps. I am not too nervous but I am sure this will change come game time. England by 12 [/QUOTE]
