Scrum now worries me. Lomax and De groot need to have masive shifts.
Which they always do. I couldn't be worried less.
Fuck i hope u are wright

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 doesn’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

Our backup props worry me more than our starters. Ox off the bench is a better scrummager than Kitshoff, so it's a risk to select Williams and Newell imo. Would rather have Nepo and Ofa.

I couldn’t care less about the volume of kicking and lack of “rugby”. That’s the great thing about rugby, more than one way to win a game. Especially in weather like that.
I’m very glad we don’t play like that though!
What irks me is the constant stoppages and time wasting and using medics and water runners to coach. They need to get the fuck off the field. They shouldn’t even be miked up.
If it carries on like this, we might have to go to neutral medics and the players can drink the rain from the sky
Absolute disgrace

Couldn’t agree more. Forget this evening from an England point of view, the time it takes to set a scrum, to throw into a lineout, every time a forward needs to replace a contact lens etc drives me nuts.

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

We should just keep on playing, unless you need a stretcher, he can hobble off and bring on a sub.
No need to blow the whistle and stop the game.
Props boot comes off, then scrum without a boot.
Go down injured, don't care play on.
Just don't stop the game. -
@Dodge 2 tactics - scrum and wait for a mistake. When England weren’t making mistakes, SA had nothing. No creativity. Then Ox came on and started winning them penalties and field position.

Yep spot on. My nerves are fucked already. Not sure if it is the beer or the sheer fear of not winning the 4th world cup and letting SA get ahead of us. As someone said, we play the best type of rugby in the world. that should win for rugby sake.
-
England wanted to play from static ball and put SA under pressure in the channels in the air - that was out chance. NZ have to play them off their feet (after hitting up front), kicking more intelligently at the right times than France - but play with pace and get the fucking medics off the field

We are absolute nuts if we select Newell ahead of Nepo for final.

Damn, have to give credit to the Boks for sticking at that, they looked out of it the whole game, took most of their experience off the field, and still managed to get the win at the end.
I'm a wee bit disappointed England didn't win, I think we could have rolled them pretty easy, but instead we'll have a massive fight with the Boks.

Exactly. Don't understand why some are happy to play SA, when England are definitely an easier opponent for us.

The fůckers come and go as they like and lurk right on the touchline. The sooner they get rules in place to at least blunt this shit the better.God I hope we win next week. I couldn't stomach that psycho whinger and his antics coming out on top. Say what you want about Foster (he'd have a heart attack if he tried to run the water) but the guy does at least have some class and I doubt he uses a burner account to criticise people he doesn't like.

Oh cool now we're moaning about teams playing wet weather rugby different than us
Can't speak for anyone else, but what made the game crappy for me were the stoppages, not the style of play.
