South Africa vs England - 04/07/26

[BMatt]

That scoreline is very confusing, but I'll take it.

 

[BrokenWing]

Strong finish to the half, unfortunate they have 10mins to go listen to Borthwick.

The rest of us can only get that on prescription.

 

[Scotty]

Yes that start was awful and hard to take but when we actually got it together we come out only 3 points down. 2 great trys. Well done England for getting back into this. And with JG's disallowed try we've had some good play.

 

[big ginger 8]

Overweight and slow?

And scores.

 

[Demfad]

South Africa ran out of steam after intense starts versus Aussie last year and Ireland in 2024 (Ireland should have taken advantage but didn’t). If England can get to 10 or within 10 at H/ T they are in with a shout.

But if Genge high tackles in their red zone then it matters not.

SA completely flat since the third try. England in it with a decent shout now.
If SA start the 2nd half hard and England weather then they will win.
Expect bomb squad on early, not long after 50 mins.

 

[Scotty]

Wonder how many plastic England fans turned off after 20 min haha

 

[Saintjay]

Nice try by the saracens man that.

 

[Wasps92]

There was no way South Africa could keep the intensity of the first 15 minutes up. They were blowing out of their arses at the end.

Great kick from Fin Smith.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

They should bring BJVR out at half time and let the crowd throw things at him,
Rotten fruit/veg, eggs, loose change, batteries etc.

 

[Grizwald]

What England do have going for them is one of the SA props having ro go a full game. Englands bench props are very green at this level.

There's got to be a better way of playing the blitz rather than just blindly lobbing it over the top?

Wonder how many plastic England fans turned off after 20 min haha

They were probably too busy talking about banking or their weekend home by the sea to even notice the score

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Nice try by the saracens man that.

Funny how the two ex Leicester men have made more impact than any saints player smh

 

[Saintjay]

It's nice to see the Saints lads trying to keep Dowson and Vesty away from the England job.

Operation Keep Borths Employed is on.

 

[Grizwald]

I don't really rate Murley as an international class winger but he's had a decent game. Suppose if Arundell was allowed a run he should get his chance. Still think Freeman is far better on the wing.

Not forgetting the awesome coaches you gave England

Chessum defence **cough**

 

[Reiser99]

Gonna be honest. Until that penalty I forgot Curry was playing.

 

[Wasps92]

Another woeful start to a half. Began with JvP holding on.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Chessum showing some typical Leicester terrible defence

 

[Demfad]

England just need to hang tough and no easy access. There are tries for England here. 10 pts not a mountain

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

Crazy how many attacking mauls just fall over once they start moving forward.

 

[Grizwald]

England butchered that

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bin Smith stinking out the joint, who ever could have predicted that

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

How is that knocked on?

 

[Wasps92]

Get Mitchell on ffs. Van Poortvliet is absolutely shite.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Bin Smith stinking out the joint, who ever could have predicted that

You mean fin trying to play his natural game only for his support to be dog ****.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Murley really isn’t international class at all.

 

[AlRums]

How is that knocked on?

It went forward?
