    @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.

    I disagree that’s what rugby fans want. That’s what you want.

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

      England can.

      England need to get tighter not looser.

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

      And yet we should have been going in to the last two minutes 19-16 ahead.

      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.

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

                      We won a WC 8-7 so I wouldn’t go too far down that line. Rugby can be trench warfare and be exciting

                      It wasn't exciting at all. Fucking sucked. I thought I was going to die

                              Did any England player chase that kick from Ford?

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

                                England can.

                                England need to get tighter not looser.

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

                                And yet we should have been going in to the last two minutes 19-16 ahead.

                                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.

                                Lol. Ok, if my auntie had wheels she’d be a bike.

                                But what if she had three? 🤔

                                        Boks nullifying the Pom midfield. Utterly dominating in that area in defence.

                                          If Boks scrum keeps dominance itnis hard to see how they lose.

                                          And the line out.

                                          All the more frustrating that we completely cocked the lineouts up last week
