    This is good. Not a flowing game by any stretch of the imgaination, but one hell of a battle!

      The contrast between this and the French game is incredible. England dragging SA down to their level and proving very effective at it too.

      @The-Irishman maybe France should have played less rugby 😬

          England are doing a good job of dragging SA down to their level.

          @pooler-fan SA need to raise their game then. Thing is, they don’t look so hot in wet weather.

              South Africa lived off mistakes and turn over ball. England don’t know how to run it, what the fuck else would we do?!

                  Extremely boring game. I don't care you can win games playing like this. I find it ugly rugby and I'm not entertained.

                    England have done really well so far taken Kolbe out of the game.

                        This game reminds me of the Lions tour to SA.

                          Plan A isn’t working for the Boks.

                          They need to switch to Plan B and speed the game up.

                              Different style of game - conditions shit.

                              Screw the neutrals, not all games can be QF 2 and 4.

                                @Dodge it is more interesting because the game is in the balance. But blow me the quality is dire. Steward has been immense under the high ball. Mom so far for me

                                  World Cups are about different styles. I’m enjoying this on its own terms.

                                    England are going to win this. Then fizzle in the final.

                                        SA should show a bit of ambition in the second half. If they carry on like this they are playing into England's hands. They are getting dragged into a shit fight and their superior skill is being wasted.

                                        It does look like SA are exhausted from last week.

                                          Pretty hard to speed up a game they are trying to slow down.

                                          Thumbs a bit sore after typing this. Need a water break.
