I cannot work out what you’re arguing with. He’s tackled, held in the tackle and stands up. Nothing else is relevant

Does he?

Peak Walrus. Comedy gold! England have made 4 finals. This wouldn’t rank in the top 10 England performances for me.

Well done Walrus, I can’t ( and wouldn’t anyway ) read the rest but it looks like you’ve managed to surpass yesterday’s tweet for sheer sour, whiny, wankiness.
“Undeservedly won”…..what a cock. Like clockwork any sympathy I have for England is quickly eroded thanks to shit like this.

Nothing to be proud of.

Thoughts on the deciding penalty? Aerial view looked like the green shirt angling in a lot more than white?

From where we sat Koch when in and up. Someone like Barnes might have penalised for not pushing straight.

The old loose forward in me fucking loved that. Just a dirty shitfight
The English back row were so fucking good. In fact England won everything except....
The 2nd half scrums. And it killed them. Everything south africa either fashioned, or used to get themselves out of trouble, was off a scrum penalty. And that brought England back and rammed home their inability to turn pressure in to points.
Both teams could and probably should have just picked two extra loose forwards to play in th3 midfield for all they did. Game completely bypassed them.
Hard to call it a deserved victory, but in a game like that you just need to find a way to be in front at the end. South Africa found the scrum.
Seeing as they lost by one, I guess the loss can be put down to Farrell getting marched 10 for mouth. Lol.

I love that, I feel the same way. I used to love wet days, everyone slowed down to my pace.

England have only themselves to blame. They had that game for the taking. With Ford on at 65 some of those dangerous situations in last 15 would have likely borne some fruit.
As it was Care had to pass to Faz 8m behind the gain line, which gave Boks time to scramble.
Very clear from our seats.
Faint heart never won fair lady and all of that.

England let the Boks out of jail last night. Big time. No amount of moaning about the ref can obscure that.

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

Nepo
Gets better at scrums every game he's not selected (which is because he still gives away at least as many turnovers and penalties probably). Myth

Check out last 15 of Boks Mt Smart. Contrast last 15 of Newell at Twickenham.
