They suck the life out of a team don't they Cyc. First time in the competition that England were on the back foot and couldn't cope with it. Simple game, smashed us upfront in the scrum and that provided the platform for everything else and put England under pressure leading to inaccuracy and error strewn play. Still fair play to Eddie Jones' team, they got further than I thought they would and that SF win against the ABs will live long in my memory.

Spot on Chan...<ok>

You've got to hand it to he Boks, their game plan is simple, give it the big men, get them to grind the opposition down and play it from there... Their pack were outstanding today from the scrum to line outs and open play, completely nullifying our pack to a point that you didn't see anything of our loose forwards all game, testament to how well they played... <applause>

It just wasn't our day right from the kick-off we just seems to be playing a very confused game, passing when we shouldn't, kicking to the wrong areas, and how many bad/dropped balls did we give away early on...!! We never got a foot hold into the game and it just let the SA's build their game and momentum up to where we were never able to stop them...

Great scenes for them, huge disappointment for us...

A game for all shapes and sizes Red and the big uns delivered for the Boks today. Fair play to them. Anyway off to the beach for a kick about with the lad and almost certainly an ice cream :emoticon-0148-yes:

The weather here is mirroring my mood; dull, cold and raining!

Will attempt to lighten my spirits with some unhealthy grub; two Scottish morning rolls, one with fried egg and one with square sausage!:emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0102-bigsm
 
5-1 that has to be it for Kovac - they have never really got going this season and seem to be stumbling from one poor performance to another

Enjoy the comfort food Kenny <ok>

Cheers; even the aroma of old cooking fat is cheering me up.

Kovac will probably be out by 14.00 (CET) tomorrow afternoon!
