England v South Africa
-
I'm always confused about the racial requirements of the boks. It's always in the news, 50% for rwc and 45% now. But that team has only a handful of players of colour. So they make these rules and just ignore them?
This will be a tight game, England b vs the boks minus their most important current player. As mentioned above, are the boks up for a non ABs game?

2 locks on the bench for Boks. Interesting.
Pieter Steph du Toit will most likely be shifted to no. 7 (in your speak = no.6) at some point.
My guess is in place of Whitely with Duane moving to 8.So likely subbed off will be Whitely for Lood de Jager(50min) and Etzebeth for RG Snyman(65min)...
I am guessing from all of the above that Rassie is expecting a heavy slow paddock requiring lots of grunt up front.

Jeez base an entire backline around the dreams of one guy and he keeps getting injured. Eddie must be spitting tacks.
Eggs,baskets and all that.
Eddie’s hopes and dreams hinge around Billy V and Tuilagi -

Swap England and SethEfrika for me. Hate England. Always hope they lose.
Last time i hoped they won was the Scotland GS in 1990. Quite liked the way they played with Barnes at 10. The fact they lost with Andrew at 10 serves them right.

Barnes hadn't been on the scene for some time back in 1990 and didn't get another look in until 1993. But you're right, we played better rugby with him at 10.

One of my favourite games ever was the game v Aussie in '89 (I think). Carling. Guscott. Underwood. Became a fan of you fuckers briefly. Glad you fucked it up and became so unlikable:) .

We find it's not too difficult to make you colonials chippy.
Probably '88. We won in London but lost away earlier in the year.
