    @booboo It confounds me how anyone thinks it’s entertaining. I know the rusted-ons love it it but the game increasingly resembles grid iron. Players too bulky. All about power. No poetry. No finesse

      Wet weather rugby is entertaining IMO. More than one style is why rugby is a great game.

        Even though some of the England kicking has been rushed and even desperate at times, they have kept the Boks out of their half. The Boks have really struggled to counter the kicking game.

              Yeah England need to be careful with their handling. Their scrim may come back to bite them.

                @His-Bobness England are doing exactly what they need to do to win. The surprise so far is that the Boks have no Plan B.

                  Are the Boks actually a rounded team capable of changing tactics? We are
                  about to find out.

                              Whatever the result, huge effort by England so far.
