We were superb at the breakdown last week and have done nothing there this week.

A while ago, as a rugby union innocent, I posed a couple of questions - why is the ball never put in straight at the scrum and why are forward passes so seldom punished. Nothing's changed then.
That was Ben Whitehouse - his father was a first glass ref. Ben not as good as his dad, Nigel!
Are refs allowed to glass the players first; seems a bit harsh?
In Paris for the weekend. You would hardly know there were two matches on this weekend. A few English fans knocking around but I can't believe how few there were. I didn't see one Argentinian fan. There are a few Saffa's knocking about. I have yet to see a Kiwi. As you'd expect, lots of Irish and a few Welsh and Scottish fans about too. Strange atmosphere in a city that should be hopping.
Strange choice by SA to go with 7 forwards on the bench and only 1 back.... big gamble....
Looks as if they're for forward domination but hopefully NZ will run the ball and avoid a forwards confrontation.....

I’d get surprised if the ABs would decide to take the battle to the Bokke through the forwards
