@ACT-Crusader plus the software they have access to enables them to watch every lineout if they choose, look for patterns, then watch every ruck, how they respond in what part of the field.
Watching games in thier entirety would be rare these days I expect.
I'd really hope that isn't the case. The game has ebb and flow and every contest and every individual action by an opponent takes part within a context that matters.

Agreed
And a line out in minute 5 is very different from a line out in minute 75

Vaa'i was defensively poor at blindside. Both from a workrate point of view, positioning and accuracy. Also I dont think hes quick enough off the mark. That said I wouldn't be surprised if they went back to him

Some of that is likely owing to inexperience.

Even if Scooter is back to near full fitness, why would you start him? Holland, Darry and Lord haven't let anyone down and seem eager for work

Bigger motor in scrum, solid cleaner, hard tackler. Need one of those in engine room against top teams.

Love it.
I haven’t cheered for the Boks ever. Even during the time when my dislike for Aussie and the smug Aussie fans was at its peak (99-04), I would want them to win 3-0 against the Boks. I’ll even call on that 1/64th Irish heritage in 2 weeks…..
England were superb that night and they did have a core group of quality players that were capable of pulling one out of the bag.

And Eddie Jones outsmarted us that night

@ACT-Crusader He said he'd seen clips not the whole match. But it was obvious from his comments that he's very aware of England's recent pattern and style.

Itoje probably played the match of his career. Curry and Underhill were dynamite.
What was so impressive was the way they just refused to lose. The problem is they can put out a performance like that … only every few years.. lucky for the rest of us.

Helped by the ABs being determined to lose from team selection to the final whistle.

I disagree. We were so fucking clueless the bloke running the West Looe Junior XV would have outsmarted us that night.

Still. Boo. I'm a fanboi. Would like to see him get a few tests in a row.
But given unavailability I'm on the Parker bandwagon (still think Finau has more potential).
