England v South Africa
-
Owen Farrell has kept England in this with two long-range penalties. South Africa should be more ahead.
Neither of these teams are great entertainers but they are effective enough at set piece, the breakdown and in defence.

I thought that SA were streets ahead in scrum, ruck and moving forward. A couple of dumb decisions and poor line outs have equalised things
If scoring was done by a judge I’d have it at about 15~6 -
-
England's midfield look horrible
-
WTF is up with Marx's throwing
-
Jeez cheap metres made through Te'o
-
Should be have been a card there for a high tackle by Itoje. Still 6-8.
-
England have a penalty from 50 metres to take a lead. If they take this, it would be winning ugly.
-
Daly hits a long range goal. 9-8.
-
England finally get into the South African 22 with the ball. The Twickenham faithful sing their song about a chariot.
-
Boks missing Faf De Klerk.
-
Don't like the SA half back, he' way too hesitant, dithery almost, get to the ruck and pass the ball son
-
England missing the Vunipola brothers....
-
England kick a lot and are very, very direct.
-
England gonna kick their way to a win,
Wierd test match really. SA not patch on what they were when they played us, and England are just so boring and predictable, trying to bring everyone down to their level. No spark or incision.
