England vs Springbokke

[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

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

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

Premature ejaculation there I think sparky.

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?

[Smuts]

@junior right decision but it’s going to drive my countrymen wild.

[Tordah]

Penalty only is the correct decision but would have been a yellow by the laws (arm with force to the head --> lower punishment because he was falling). Certainly hurt more than the Codie Taylor tackle...

[SidBarret]

@smuts we're chilled as fuck

To think Codie Taylor got a yellow last week for something far more innocuous

No yellow, just a penalty.

Been impressed with Brace and his team. Good reffing so far, clear consistent and letting the game flow,

[Victor Meldrew]

That was a peach of a try. You won't see many better.
