Ireland making the All Blacks their bitch last week. England thumping the Boks this week. Welcome to the era of Northern Hemisphere Rugby dominance.

But Sth Africa aren't making dumb mistakes and giving up stupid penalties when under pressure. And their senior players are stepping up. Unlike us last week.

Good game to watch.

Maybe wait until the end of the match. 12-17 from where I’m sitting at half-time.

Yeah not overly worried yet, need fix the defence out wide.

Eddie winding back the clock with some of the scrum tactics he's used so far

Good to see the ref penalising the sealing off of the ball by the attacking team

I think both team are milking it a little bit by pushing the guys over ball down - need to move further forward stopping the defender from getting close to the ball.

[Smuts]

@billy-tell it is, but I have this creeping sensation that the rugby gods are somewhat less than gruntled.

[SidBarret]

Tactically I think South Africa like DDA running at Smith and Slade. The maul looks like it might cause some real damage.

We need to be a little smarter defending out wide. England is quite deep, and the rushing winger are being caught in no man land.

Think the front change is coming very soon

[SidBarret]

Reset at 42 is really pissing me off- marginal early push was a free kick previously

Mr Sinkler, meet Mr Marx.

First time he hasn't been mouthing off at break in play

[SidBarret]

What is the law regarding simulation?

[Victor Meldrew]

England forwards being monstered.

[SidBarret]

@victor-meldrew and they might be 7 on 8 soon

[Victor Meldrew]

Great individual defence by Malins.

[SidBarret]

15-4 pen count and only one or two close ones

[SidBarret]

16-4

Premature ejaculation there I think sparky.

[SidBarret]

And the yellow is going to be a bullshit one

[Frye]

That incident is no better than other red card incidents I've seen given.

Is it wrong of me to hope for a red to demonstrate just what a farce the current rules are in such situations?
