Impressive first half from England....

 

[Goldhawk-Road]

A very different game from the last SA outing. I wonder what the French make of it. England suppressing SA so far...

Boks line out a mess, England must be delighted so far.

Let’s not start to dream…..

Good 1st half from England, a dour battle but we've tactically had the edge. Must keep our discipline in 2nd half...

1st try could well be decisive in this, we've got to try and make sure we get it ! Or alternatively just kick them to death lol

I could see England facing a storm at the start of the second half. Need to weather it

The French were too loose and ‘open’ against the Bokke, as a result there were gaps and space for SA to benefit from.

England’s ‘dour’ style is working - keeping it tight and forcing errors from the Bokke
