Off Topic The Rugby Thread

[The Ides of March]

And that’s why we hardly ever beat the bastarding Saffers. Today could be different, but not if England try to be too clever and “entertain”

The key word, "entertain". If Saffa turn up just enjoy the rugby!!

Come on England!

Good start. I am not Farrell’s biggest fan but his kicking has been crucial in the last couple of games.

 

[tomw24]

6-0.

 

[tomw24]

Silly penalty to give away.

 

[tomw24]

Huge penalty win at the scrum!

 

[tomw24]

Farrell has lost the plot.

Farrell has lost the plot.

Cost us 3 points there, no question

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Should get them back now though

 

[tomw24]

Bam! What a hit by Daly.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

England’s defence has been incredible this half.

SA losing lineouts is a very good thing as well

SA have been incredibly sloppy. Need to make it count.

 

[tomw24]

SA have changed their fly-half!

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Such a competitive, aggressive, front footed half from England. It’s the hope…

 

[ChilcoSaint]

12-6 HT.

Pollard coming on could be the game-changer but England’s discipline has been good so far and denied SA any decent ball, and not given too many penalties away.

So far so good.

Great half!

 

[tomw24]

England have done exactly what I hoped they'd do. Play for territory, discipline at the scrum and win turnovers at the breakdown. Apart from Farrell losing his **** for 10 mins mission accomplished.

What a kick Farrell!!

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Wow Farrell!!!

 

[tomw24]

Sensational drop goal that.
