Some Italian guy is wearing a yellow/pink scrum cap.

to NZ.

28-3 now

Opening 5 minutes of England v SA is highlighting the benefit of having a good fielder / kicker at the back.

Aus just butchered a chance because a prop tried an offload !!!!

vienne86

England seem a bit rusty.

Adbrowne

10-0 to scotland after 8 minutes

vienne86

Lambie is on song. A penalty and a lovely DG already. 0-6.

Impossible flicking between 3 matches.

vienne86

England have just scored a lovely try - caught he Boks flat footed, and well run into the corner by May.

Felix Jones is God

Sure that has to go to TMO Mays leg looked.out

tanko

Was it Folau who chickened out of the tackle for the Scots try?

Thought his grounding was a bit dodgy too, but both fine

Adbrowne

Aus just scored a peach, but scotlands defence was poor

That said, I just had a lucky flick to catch Oz running in a super try.

Adbrowne

35-3 to NZ and stillnot half time. Think they will hit 60-70

Adbrowne

Boks just mashed england in a scrum.

vienne86

Some careless stuff in Twickenham - fumbles, dropped balls, and finally a kick out on the full.

connemara man

Each network does their own schedule, they won't adjust times for the benefit of the viewing public

Adbrowne

ouch

vienne86

England having problems at the scrum.

Stheno

Are Scotland still winning?

vienne86

Great pressure from England.....very messy one for the Boks....looks like England might have scored there.

Adbrowne

i think thats a try

Yes. 17-10.

Big call. I think that touched browns hand, and although it went back in relation to this hands, the ball was still moving towards the line.

vienne86

Farrell is a great place kicker......I hate watching him lining up the kick though.

Lambie played it back

Yeah, but not convinced it didn't touch Brown's hands at all.

No, I don't think he touched it........he tried though!

think he might have got a nudge without the ball too.

great boot by Daly. 20-9 at half time to england

FellasFellas

Huw Jones a potential Lions bolter judging by his performance today.

That was a monster kick - he was well inside the England half.

I wonder what our (SA's) backline does during training?

You can see the England team has set moves that involve the whole team, and you can see its been thought out and practiced and made work when it matters.

All that the SA team does, when they dont kick, is pass from 9->10->12->13->14 or 11. Theres no switching, dummies, decoys, nothing. Must be a treat for england to defend.

The only set moves that they seem to work on is lineout->maul, and its been done to death so everyone knows what to do by now.

I hate that our game plan is to kick into opposition half, wait for opposition to make mistake and then kick a penalty. Whereas other teams use their own skill and attack to at least try and get points on the board.

Adbrowne

scotland putting it up to the aussies.

22-13 after 48 min

There's another try for England - Billy sucks them in, Youngs does lovely dummy and For runs it in......too easy. South Africa look bunched....think I'll flick go Murrayfield.

27-9 after 45mins. Can get embarrassing.

I'm disappointed with the Boks here - I think you're right - they are just devoid of ideas.

NZ 61-10 up on Italy with a few mins left

With Allistair Coetzee being coach I was expecting more of a Stormers approach, defend defend defend, and hope other team makes mistakes to win the game. But at least that somewhat worked for the stormers when he coached them. But the Bokke arent even defending well either.

Edit: by expecting I dont mean hoping, just that thats what was to be expected from him.
