Maybe because we were so good against the All Blacks and SA have been so underwhelming so far but I’m never usually confident. The nerves have started to kick in tonight, though. It can’t be that straightforward, surely? I can’t see it being straight forward. We’ve seen this England team mess up grand slam opportunities in the last few years. Also whilst SA being underwhelming we know their pack will give us a hell of a game, plus the pace of their wingers means we have to keep our concentration switched fully on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 My missues has just reminded me that she is taking her car in for a MOT at 09:00 and I'm meant to be following her down to the garage and bringing her back. . She could do with some exercise anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Huge 5-10 minutes after half time. If we don’t front up then we’re done. Have to say, as much as we’re being outmuscled, it also looks like we’re bottling it. So many misplaced passes and other basic errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I hope there is a try or two in the second half. One of the things i dislike about union is games decided by who boots it over the posts the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been consistent so far with that on both sides. The SA no. 9 with the lovely hair, he should be in the bin though. Two deliberate fouls . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets very messy when the ball is on the ground under a pile of players and a lot comes down to the refs interpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 None of these line outs are straight. England did look to have woken up, but SA have been superb, picking up points cleverly along the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
