I must re-read Matt Dawson's article where he stated, not one of the SA players would be good enough to start for England.

Funny how all the talk about SA’s questionable relationship with PEDs has ceased now that they’ve beaten the English.

Ah well, sure there’s no drugs in Rugby, only false positives, that right Jamie?

Glad there were enough points in it that the potential forward pass wasn't the difference maker.

Exact same comments made by Heaslip pre-NZ quarter.

The game is over 10 minutes, and it's still being discussed by people.

Didn't O'Driscoll come out with the same muck before England hammered Ireland in the 6N?

It's been about fifteen minutes since they beat them.

no.8

The most frustrating of watches. Nice to see SA given the rub of the green again. Forward pass, de Klerk yellow card missed. Poxy ref

I'd be surprised if he makes it to 2023 with them. He's been a great coach for them, but the media storm combined with the fact England tend to turnover coaches at a serious rate, since Clive Woodward's 7 year spell ended in 2004 they've had 5 different head coaches including Eddie.

If you need the ref to win the game for you then you've already lost.

He'll certainly have left them in great shape. So many young players who are well established now. If someone comes soon they'll have a great palette to work with.

Most ex-players are poor pundits. I'd give a nod to the whole Eir RWC crew. They picked well with Tommy Bowe, D'arcy, Stringer, Galvin, Considine et al.

For every good ex-player pundit there's 3 terrible ones. BOD, Fitzgerald, Heaslip are all examples of ex-players who have proved that their performances on the pitch don't translate to the media side of things

Some backstory for Kolisi all the same, superb role model.

Eir ran a world cup ad with Bowe, D'arcy and Stringer playing an Xbox and all are getting destroyed by someone in the game.

D'arcy "lads who's the... Eimearnator?"

Chair in the corner swings around and its Eimear Considine looking like a gaming pro saying something pithy to them.

Funny but a bit cringe
