Come on the england!

SA look very much like they expected to just turn up and win it. Assume a good Rassieing at half time will send a different side out, and we’ll be in trouble. We’re certainly not scoring a try unless it’s a charge down, but reckon 24 points would win it here.

Should be further ahead, which is a big worry.

He’s not having a blinder, but he’s doing ok. Some sloppy kicking from hand, but playing a 10 man game effectively. Needs to shut the fook up when talking to the ref too, cost us points.

Never understood why 10s kicking points make people think they’re playing well. 

Does his blinder consist of anything other than placekicking well?

Fair play to England, they have turned up. The intensity from the forwards was awesome, the SA maul in particular has gone nowhere even when they've managed to wheel it.

They haven't really let SA play a single proper phase of rugby yet.
