RWC SF: England v Springboks
-
I’ve gone England 1-8
I’m not confident, but that’s what I want to happen.
A brutal affair, descending into fisticuffs at one point resulting in 2 players carded and banned from each side , as well as Rassie being sanctioned for invading the pitch
England steal the game 6-3 with a Tuilagi droppie off his left foot in the 84th minute.
Both teams spent, England a shadow of themselves for the final

“I don’t want to sound arrogant, but that’s where we are going to take some stopping in the World Cup,” Dobson said. “England and then New Zealand or Argentina are going to have to produce a second front row that can live with that. I think we will see more of that tactic now from South Africa, if you have a superior scrum then scrum more.
“In the game against Ireland, did New Zealand put the ball into the scrum? It was a remarkable game."
Yes john, NZ did put the ball in. 5 times in fact.
“Look, I don’t think it’s England,” Dobson answered when asked which remaining team South Africans fear most. “I don’t know what you do to stop the South Africans now, with that scrum, maul. It’s tricky.
“Ox Nche, the Springboks’ number 17, is going to be the player of this World Cup. He is just going to do so much damage in these next two games.
“New Zealand is the team we fear most, but can then produce something similar to what they did against Ireland? Can they cope with that second front row? It’s tricky, I think.
“Please don’t think I am an arrogant South African, but it’s ours to lose after Sunday night, I feel.”
Best not lose to England then
@stodders I have a feeling that may not just be wishful thinking that England will win this semifinal.

@Dodge I’m surprised Manu Tuilagi hasn’t broken down yet. For England to win, he needs to pull a worldie performance out, as well as the pack.

He’ll be sent off in this game for a leading forearm…

So, no idea if it's been covered elsewhere - but what the fuck is the deal with Rassie's lights? Why not use a radio?

@Bones My reply was sort of tongue in cheek. But it does cut out any miscommunication between coach and player. The whispering into radios seems a bit redundant when time is of the essence and no way to get the player word easily.

Ok I see, but pretty concerning he has no faith in his players to know what decisions to make on the field.

Come on Borthwick you got this

I hope so ( England causing an upset )
But I can’t help but think england beating Fiji in a close one one week , are about to find out the boks are on a different level .
-
I know no one gives a fufu but the two questions remain.
- What happened to the ABs over the last 4 years
- How did we end up with this WC draw
