That's the England I know. Shithouse defence

They look like they could be a good team but they are just so disorganised and too often completely brainless.

Nothing wrong with PSDT pilfer

Except that a ruck had formed by the time he got his hands on the ball.

Diving in off your feet does not constitute a ruck

SA players at least a cycle ahead.

I hope that the Blues will put on 10 kg each before the new season

NZ players don't quite have that advantage.

Great line from Underhill

Cracking match

This is some game.

Are we not entertained?

Weird game , feels like boks have Been much better but England right in it on the scoreboard

They've definitely got the players. The coach? Not so much.

I'd even prefer Foster...

That was shit from Slade

Both SA and NZ would have put Sleighthome away

England are being more adventurous and it's paying off.

Keep them running England. Only chance you’ve got!

Oh look. A prop is injured.

Fucking Lawrence

How is that advantage over??

Fuck Smith is good. Imagine him in a black jersey.

Lions playing next weekend Smith has to start at 10

Half Time. England 17 South Africa 19. That flew by.

It does in Europe.

Ironically bad for England to win. Borthwick has to go.

At least Fozzie might have copied a few notes from Shag, Prof and Schmidt.

Blood is thicker than water.

Arendse scores. More poor English defence.

That was too easy.

Is it just me, or are the English wingers not very fast...?

They are looking at the last pass. The crowd are trying to get it ruled out.

No try. A bit of a hometown decision if you ask me.

Forward pass.

What's scary about this Bok team is that they can win matches with their amazing backs too. Never used to the case.

Forward out the hands unfortunately - could and should have thrown it flat out of the hands and would have ended up in the same place,

Nevertheless, England barely hanging on.

@akan004 and it’s also weird that England look good on attack but are now absolute pants on defence

Final pass looked forward.

England would be doing a lot better with a halfback who could pass.

So dumb Itoje. You had the advantage ffs.

OK, so they changed the rules at halftime and the new "access" law is now in place.

Why would Itoje try to contest the ruck after the English knock on when it's just going to come back to a Bok scrum, and the Boks can now scrum for a penalty.
