South African defence was superb, but some of those penalties were cynical ...how good is Marco Vunipola...workrate for Africa

There was only one PK. Confirmed by ref.

Although it's hard to tell with Jerome

So what is the rule re halfbacks hand on ball at a ruck? Do they have to pick it up before u can tackle?

But they also seem to be able to pick it up and put it back down going by some of the games in this world cup.

Boks playing controlled rugby.

Upping the pace when they need to, checking their options rather than relying on instinct

Is it? The alternative is halfbacks have trouble clearing the ball and the backlines can rush up even more than they do now. There was a conscious decision from WR a few years ago to change this. Used to be hands on was enough.
