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

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

South Africa have the bomb squad but Faz has had a pie barm.

 

[Yulia]

And now it's a bit boring/less intense

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Give Cole his credit ladsssss

Reminiscent of Vickery redeeming himself for the Lions.

 

[Jimbo]

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

To be fair he was always likely to improve defensively aggression wise in a Sarries setup.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Wah wah wee wahhhhh what is happening

 

[Saintjay]

This place is going to the dogs. Never thought I'd hear the terms tactical nouce and Farrell being said. As for praising Borthwick geeeeez

 

[Bluemoon]

SA on the ropes here. I genuinely think a try will almost finish them, even at this stage.

 

[Which Tyler]

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?

Alfie Barbeary?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeesh that didn't look pretty, luckily just a reset

 

[die_mole]

ardense is probably one of the best back three players in the world but a rugby ball is a ******* and the ground is wet

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Alfie Barbeary?

As soon as he's actually available for more than a month, poor guy.

 

[die_mole]

Alfie Barbeary?

someone in that mold. Basically a fourie type where you can use him as another back row sub but list him as a front row player.

 

[saulan]

I think that's it. Really rattled as a team and just not really thinking/making the basic mistakes. We essentially need them to score nothing and us get 3 penalties just to go to extra time. Not looking likely.

 

[Scotty]

Keep forgetting we are only 9 points up!

 

[ncurd]

BOK a tad too quick to blow there.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yikes,

Would've liked to have seen that play on though considering the ball was available

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Didn't Koch get battered in the scrum by some binmen in Kernow during Sarries' Championship stint?

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Ouch Sinks got crunched in that scrum.

 

[ncurd]

Keep forgetting we are only 9 points up!

On a rainy day over 7 points is huge.

 

[die_mole]

England needed quick ball there and yet were looking for a platform
