[RWC2023 SF2] England vs South Africa (21/10/2023)

LOL I take back everything I said about Farrell this game. That was a hell of a call and execution.

 

[die_mole]

if Jamie George was going to play 80 min every week wouldn't it make sense to bring a loose forward who could be trained real quick as a hooker?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That is a mad DG

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

#Iceman (but unironically for once)

 

[AlRums]

Great kick

 

[Scotty]

**** yes Faz!

 

[Lé Ddanno]

WHAAAAAAATT

Realistically that's what Dan is,
His strengths are breakdown and carrying, his weaknesses are setpieces

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Not sure I would take Martin off
His physicality will be missed

He's been fantastic but he was gassing out. Right call IMO.

 

[Bluemoon]

Daly is like a man posessed

I feel there should be a not so random drug test on him.

 

[ncurd]

Seriously and completely unironicallt that might be one of the best bits of tactical nouce I've seen from Farrell

 

[Reiser99]

Fair play. Fantastic kick. Gives a 2 score lead and the distance now makes S.A worried about more.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

He's been fantastic but he was gassing out. Right call IMO.

Also been with the medics a couple of times - if he's cramping or feeling it in his hamstring or something it's better to get him off in a break rather than have him go down in play

 

[Geordie]

You know what; fair play Borthwick. Picking Marler and Martin to start this were absolutely the right calls and both May and Daly's kick chases have been excellent. Even if we lose this he's bought himself a fair few good graces in my book.

Not sure I would take Martin off

He was looking tired. One clear out he completed but was gassed. He's emptied the tank...as he was probably told to do

 

[ncurd]

SA now trying running rugby on a wet day. Going to the corner early match was such a blunder.

Hea been dragged away from the captaincy...George has been leading...and farrels just playing his game

Fair enough

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Give Cole his credit ladsssss

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Next scrum will be interesting but Sincklers energy in the contact will be good as the Boks (hopefully) tire

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Give Cole his credit ladsssss

The amount of times I've typed that he has been playing very very well for Tigers
