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

junior

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

So dumb Itoje. You had the advantage ffs.

junior

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.

I’ve moved my position on itoje.

From over rated, to shit. He’s been awful. Rag dolled and ineffective.

Is the timing of the AB v fogs kick off when this game finishes ?

It’s on a different channel here in aus and coverage starts in a few minutes .

He had to come on after 20 mins. Must be nearly cooked ….

England leading by a point with just over twenty minutes to go.

A loud mouth with long arms that means he occasionally wins opposition pinouts and ruck ball.

Lots of white guilt in his general rating as a player.

Potentially an All Time Great. In reality, looking like an English Troy Flavell.

South Africa take the lead. 22-20.

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

It does in Europe.

Brace is Irish

He's fucking Welsh! We had this argument last year 🤣
