    Was stupid to select reserves props who can't scrum against a team like SA, and in a game like this where there were plenty of stoppages, there was no need to bring them on so early. Borthwick fucked up.

    We donโ€™t have any props who can scrummage! Why do you think dads army were there in the first place. Blame the Premiership not the coach

    Then why replace the starters so early? It's not like they weren't having rest breaks every 5 minutes.

    Because the guys who had been on for 55 mins got folded in half after the Boks changed their front row

            Why are people complaining about the try?

            I couldn't see anything wrong with it.

            Shame England didn't win as I doubt they would have any chance against the All Blacks.

            Because the runner off the back of the lineoit was tackled to the ground and got up and went again without releasing

            But was he held?

            Yes! He bounced off the first tackler but Vunipola completed it, brought him to ground and then he stood up

            Yes!

            Just looked. Yes he was, but it's unclear to me what he did after that, there's no clear replay of what happened. It certainly looked real-time as if he got up, but potentially just rolled over. Would like to see that from the sideline camera.

            I understand your disappointment though @Dodge

              Another ridiculous replacement.

                What a crap match. A replay of the 2007 final. SA only have 2 tactics: high balls and scrum penalties.

                        To be fair, it doesnโ€™t matter what he did after that. He was tackled, got up, went for the line and was hit again. Whether it made any difference is irrelevant to how obvious a penalty it was

                          Just watched delay. England had that. The starting props will want to execute their replacements. All that insane commitment for nothing.

                                To be fair to BOK, Reynal gave most of them from the far side which is why BOK went over

                                  Why are people complaining about the try?

                                  I couldn't see anything wrong with it.

                                  Shame England didn't win as I doubt they would have any chance against the All Blacks.

                                  Because the runner off the back of the lineoit was tackled to the ground and got up and went again without releasing

                                  But was he held?

                                  Yes!

                                  Just looked. Yes he was, but it's unclear to me what he did after that, there's no clear replay of what happened. It certainly looked real-time as if he got up, but potentially just rolled over. Would like to see that from the sideline camera.

                                  I understand your disappointment though @Dodge

                                  To be fair, it doesnโ€™t matter what he did after that. He was tackled, got up, went for the line and was hit again. Whether it made any difference is irrelevant to how obvious a penalty it was

                                  I think he was flung over by the tackler, so don't agree from that view

                                    Scrum now worries me. Lomax and De groot need to have masive shifts.

                                    Which they always do. I couldn't be worried less.

                                      What a crap match. A replay of the 2007 final. SA only have 2 tactics: high balls and scrum penalties.

                                      Only one tactic tonight

                                      Did BOK become obsessed with scrums at the end. Evidence on X that says yes

                                      To be fair to BOK, Reynal gave most of them from the far side which is why BOK went over
