I’ve moved my position on itoje.

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

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.

SH ref

Brace is Irish

My bad

Honestly thought it was Gardner

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

Not in rugby terms

TMO , Shitehouse is though

Terrible defence.

Kolbe scores. Terrible defence.

England really missing Felix Jones the defence coach they lost a few months ago.

Pollard with the kick.

England 20 South Africa 29 with 16 minutes to go.

They have a defence coach?

The Boks would really be doing themselves and the rest of world rugby a massive favour if they lost this match and Borthwick kept his job.

Yellow card to Steenekamp. Boks down to 14.

Kolisi being warned.

Exactly

England own worst enemy.

England not yet able to turn the man advantage into points.

That's a coach killer

England playing like the 2022-4 AB's

Perhaps the English players want Borthwick out too.

England's multiple vice captains means there isn't a clear, single voice calling the shots in this situation.

Boks able to slow the ball down. England's rucking is poor.

Are England trying to lose?

Even Austin Healy is making sense.

SA are inviting England to win this game with their mistakes and they keep on screwing it up.

Itoje you mong. Fair though, knock on by Steward.

England getting fucked at the breakdown.

Itoje is a fucking embarrassment.

Itoje player rating cannot be above zero.

Very good players trying to do it on their own outside the gameplan

Just don’t think England have the cattle. Dan Cole in 2024. Henry Slade in 2024. Not got the dudes.

Itoje has cost England this match

The English halfbacks making Finlay Christie look like the redheaded lovechild of Trapper and Joost VdV here.

Yep, individually they are fine, as a team poor..

England should have won this

You can carry those guys and ask them to do a job so long as the coaching is good and the other 13 players on the pitch engage their brains.

Time running out for England.

PSDT has been outstanding. Again. What a player!

Best in the world imo. Better than Dupont.
