    But if Eddie watched our SF he knows SA can be beaten. We should have.

    England can.

    England need to get tighter not looser.

      Odd post. Tough physical game that the ground and TV audience are enjoying

      Would you call the 2011 final a dud product?

      @sparky Yes. To you rugby tragics, trench warfare is great. For 80% of the viewing public, they want to see ball movement, sweeping backline moves and tries.

        Wonder what the odds are of Eddie taking a page out of the Italian's playbook and stitching up uncontested scrums?

        That would be pretty smart, only one prop away

        one prop

        Within the rules so yes, smart, but not good for the game, needs tinkering IMO.

          SA played within themselves and did enough to win against you. Always in control

              Cole to cop an injury? Does test rugby play man off? (I.E. the team that forces uncontested has to play with 14 players)?

              Dunno, but I think they'd do better with 14 and uncontested scrums, than what they're doing ATM

                    Eddie spent two and a half years working out how to beat us.

                    He didn't have time to watch your semifinal! 🙂

                      To you, maybe. To millions others it’s a titanic battle.

                        England are better than Wales.

                        Go back to basics. Pick & go. Commit and tire the Boks.

                        Boks will give away penalties.

                        Kick for territory.

                        England win.

                        It's not rocket science.

                                    SA played within themselves and did enough to win against you. Always in control

                                        Their pick and go looked good once they got in the other half , getting up that end of the field is key for them
