Unfortunately Chile running out of steam..... gave a decent account of themselves 1st half but this is now heading into 80 point territory...

Arundel is some talent.
I've always said he dhould start every game no matter who the opponents, its ridiculous he's not a regular starter. While smashing Chile to bits is great for confidence, it does little to uncloud Borthwick's mind. I'm genuinely worried that when it reaches the knockouts , he'll play Farrell and Ford together, and will bottle leading out Farrell. Arundel should be starting instead of Daley, and Smith could possibly play at full back, depending on the opposition. Earl just looks superb whenever he plays !
 
More of a free hit for SA as they’ve already beaten Scotland. We lose tonight and it’s squeaky bum time in our group.

think we will win though and win by 7+
You'll qualify easily, but yonight I'm not so sure, be close but the bomb squad could make the difference. If pushed I fancy the Boks by 6-8 !

SA gone 7-1 forwards/backs on the bench.... bit risky....

Ireland front row replacements have improved over last few years and should be able to contain the SA replacement front row....
