Eek my comment above vexed that
Good start by S.A. They’re attacking pretty well today...much more than they did against Wales.
Anybody who predicted a boring game...
Well that ship has already sailed!!!
An 80 minute shift for Cole now.
This is looking worrying
Shit!
This is a England mess.
These loose passes going to cost us (3 points already)
Well I missed that thanks to Mrs standing in front of me. 🙄
They need to sort this passing out
Ffs
England need to take a breath
12 minutes in and my five year old has told me off for swearing at Youngs shocking pass. 😂
If you could choose a combined XV from England and South Africa at this World Cup, you would choose all England players.
As soon as I saw this gem from Matt Dawson my first thought was 'Ben Youngs?'
England rattled, but seem to have weathered the storm with the score board intact!
I'm relying on you guys to update me while I sit in a car and wait for Green Flag to recover me to a garage....
High rate of attrition so far
Dawson my first thought was ‘Ben Youngs?’
then Kolbe
And Itohe amd Estabeth would be a handy pair of locks
Ford cracking under pressure?
We need some clear heads because the last thing we should be doing is giving SA scrums because we’re getting bummed there.
Let's just start playing from deep short simple passes. It's like the Harlem globe trotters at time
Well, to start this badly and be only 3 points down.....
England really need to up their game.
Youngs making poor passes and choices. He went right when he had Lawes vs Kolbe on his left from 3 metres.
How many phases..?!
SA defending is brilliant.
Silly penalties given away are killing us too.
Stop giving penalties away!
South African Loosehead KEEPS collapsing the scrum, but referee keeps blaming Dan Cole!
This is shit!!!
Easier said than done.
Done deal. I reckon we’re out of this. Our scrum now becomes a penalty magnet and all they have to do is kick from halfway. England also look half the team they were last week.
We will need two tries to win and our attack / backs look anonymous
If England stopped knocking on then there wouldn't be scrum pens. They are rattled and SA are stopping them play - all credit to SA
Not the half we wanted, need to stop giving scrums away as they have bought the ref on them. Can see Farrell moving to 10 soon.
England really need to up their game.
And their score too.
Right Dank we need uncontested scrums, take the plank out of tge bed and put your arm here!
Wood**** starts with a sly dig at Wales!! ****.
Old dog has it. Basic errors.
need to stop giving scrums away as they have bought the ref on them
No, they are just getting their heads shoved up their arses!

That’s weird because Cole is complaining about Mtwarira driving upwards. How can he collapse the scrum by driving up?
(Back in 2009 the Lions test hinged on scrum penalties given against Vickery. His opponent was Mtwarira. I remember complaining on here that Vickery couldn’t concede a scrum penalty when his feet weren’t on the floor!)

Why would SA collapse when they are going forward, England getting battered in scrums and lineout has had a few hiccups too. If the SA forwards dont tire or all break stopping England on the gainline England could be in trouble here.
Springbok shirts on today in our local bar here in Spain. If England were playing anyone else I'd be behind them, but today it's the Bokke.
England ARE in trouble here. Ben Spencer on at HT?
England scrum being humped here. Short of another 'injury' and uncontested scrums, not sure how they're going to get out of that.
Tight 40 minutes to come. SA currently forcing England's hand.
That England assault on the S.A. line, there were at least 5 penalties, 3 neck rolls and Faf intentionally offside. How that wasn’t a yellow I’ve no idea.
Could be in trouble I think we are. Seem to be struggling to catch as we're the Welsh. If anything I can see the saf scoring.
