    That was depressing for Enlgand especially with the Wilko and Balshaw injuries but I would feel worse for Wales losing in the last thirty seconds has to feels worse because you haven't seen it coming.

    They got their ass handed to them - SA looked organized

    SA full strength coming off superb season against the English 2nds, there was only going to be one winner, and with England losing 3-4 key players in the last few days.

    Looking like a nightmare tour.

    Yup South Africa gave them a drilling but I'm not sure you can read too much into it.. they were up against a very inexperienced English team and tbh they got a lot of lucky breaks in the first half...

    I still think they got a good shout in France but I think the 3N will be the ultimate test ahead of the WC.. glad I got them early on at a good price ;)

    i don't think that england were expecting south africa to be so good which if they were expecting that it wasn't the smartest move as any team with montgomery,de villers or habana has to be good

    All teams have ups and downs, its part of the game, no country is at its peak all the time, i could say [team name] havent been the powerhouse they once where and always be right.
    I watched the highlights today, lots of fun, i hope habana fires in the wc, he has to be one of the quickest players in the game. Get butterflys when he does that little skip, dont know what he's gonna do :D.

    Are the wasps, Leicester and Bath players joining the England team for the next match against SA?

    The only thing I found surprising about the match was that Ladbrokes were offering SA -28 at even money. Free money :)
