England vs Springboks

[W32]

Just watched the semi from last year again. No commentary, ref mike only. The amount of time England spent in BOKs ear holding the game up was astonishing.

I am also aware that in the terminology of the great Barry MacKenzie, I am in danger of crying stinking fish in my own back yard..

Cheer up.

I know right, would've thought the boks would get at least one try.

@Bones

Not with our watertight defence.

personally i'm furious about the 3 points, Marcus Smith was on his feet over the ball and shouldn't have been pinged. Hell of a kick from 75 metres out though

@reprobate counterpoint: that semi was the best game of the World Cup.

Huh?

I’m a purist. Also the best in game tactical adaptation ever. And scrums.

Purist Smuts? Not a combo I've encountered before.

Well it was tight as water.

[sparky]

Strong start from England.

[Bones]

Beautiful by Smith, terrible by South Africa

[sparky]

Ollie Sleigtholme scores a try after clever play by Smith. A dream start from England.

Marcus Smith seems to have come of age. Great vision to set that try up.

Slade was calling for it. It looks like it was a set move of sorts.

[MajorPom]

Smith running past that fat fuck designed for 30 mins of which half is on a knee was beautiful.

[sparky]

England surely need to keep Marcus Smith, if fit, at 10 for the 80 minutes.

Kolbe slices a kick badly. The crowd love it. All England so far.

Williams in for South Africa. A great score.

I see the new "access" law has been shelved for this week then...
