    Hard to see how they won't keep dominance, with Kitshoff, Koch and Snyman to come off the bench and Cole going to tire!

      Wonder what the odds are of Eddie taking a page out of the Italian's playbook and stitching up uncontested scrums?

      That would be pretty smart, only one prop away

        Cole to cop an injury? Does test rugby play man off? (I.E. the team that forces uncontested has to play with 14 players)?

            The way the All Blacks play is what the market wants to see. This is a dud product.

            We won a WC 8-7 so I wouldn’t go too far down that line. Rugby can be trench warfare and be exciting

            It wasn't exciting at all. Fucking sucked. I thought I was going to die

            2005 Brian O'Driscoll is that you?

              But if Eddie watched our SF he knows SA can be beaten. We should have.

              England can.

              England need to get tighter not looser.

                Odd post. Tough physical game that the ground and TV audience are enjoying

                Would you call the 2011 final a dud product?

                  Within the rules so yes, smart, but not good for the game, needs tinkering IMO.

                        Dunno, but I think they'd do better with 14 and uncontested scrums, than what they're doing ATM

                              Eddie spent two and a half years working out how to beat us.

                              He didn't have time to watch your semifinal! 🙂

                                  And yet we should have been going in to the last two minutes 19-16 ahead.

                                  England are better than Wales.

                                  Go back to basics. Pick & go. Commit and tire the Boks.

                                  Boks will give away penalties.

                                  Kick for territory.

                                  England win.

                                  It's not rocket science.

                                      But if Eddie watched our SF he knows SA can be beaten. We should have.

                                      England can.

                                      England need to get tighter not looser.

                                      SA played within themselves and did enough to win against you. Always in control

                                      And yet we should have been going in to the last two minutes 19-16 ahead.

                                      England are better than Wales.

                                      Go back to basics. Pick & go. Commit and tire the Boks.

                                      Boks will give away penalties.

                                      Kick for territory.

                                      England win.

                                      It's not rocket science.
