England getting the rub tonight! Dragging South Africa down too!

ednwireland · 21-10-2023 07:19PM

Who knew borthwick was a tactical genius 😄

ongarite · 21-10-2023 07:19PM

England playing a simple plan very very well.

Have SA rattled so far.

MaddChris · 21-10-2023 07:21PM

Itoje walked around the maul and entered at the side. AR must have been looking at his boots casue he wasn't watching the players.

davepatr07 · 21-10-2023 07:22PM

Think I seen Marler telling Tuilagi to cool the jets..

testtech05 · 21-10-2023 07:22PM

Not an arm or wrap between Martin and earl there. England making a dogfight just as they needed and it's working well

FintanMcluskey · 21-10-2023 07:22PM

England can handle these big games in fairness.

MadYaker · 21-10-2023 07:22PM

Can England keep up this intensity I wonder

Dont Be at It · 21-10-2023 07:23PM

England well up for this. Just have to see if they have enough quality to keep it going.

They can. They have an ability to get up for big games no matter their form.

joseywhales · 21-10-2023 07:24PM

So what I'm learning again and it's the same every world cup, that referees get more lenient , the more important the game. Particularly around rucking and tackling, wrapping is optional.

sonofenoch · 21-10-2023 07:24PM

This is not the SA that steamrolled Ireland from the start

SaoPaulo41 · 21-10-2023 07:25PM

Eng are very niggly trying to get under SA skin ,but it's backfiring the only skin they are getting under is Ben O Keefes

MaddChris · 21-10-2023 07:25PM

Ford might be on sooner than we think 😄

Say Your Number · 21-10-2023 07:25PM

England wildly celebrating every penalty they get is like when corner back in Hurling goes mad thumping the badge when he gets a free out.

ednwireland · 21-10-2023 07:25PM

Farrell backchat costing

thebaz · 21-10-2023 07:26PM

Farrell is really unlikeable

SlickRic · 21-10-2023 07:26PM

Is Owen Farrell stupid?

He was being pushed because he wouldn't give up the ball.

PTH2009 · 21-10-2023 07:27PM

what is happening

Only those Saxons the Baxtards

Passionate that's all, we would love him if he was on Irish team.

They're celebrating SA giving up free kicks. Bit childish no matter how "up for it" you are.

fitz · 21-10-2023 07:28PM

The France game has definitely taken something out of SA. Nowhere near the same intensity of last week or against us.

Podge_irl · 21-10-2023 07:29PM

South Africa expended a lot of emotional and physical energy to beat France. It's not unlike the final 4 years ago.

SaoPaulo41 · 21-10-2023 07:29PM

They will be much fresher than SA, Boks look drained after France game

standardg60 · 21-10-2023 07:29PM

That penalty against Mitchell was a joke, every player puts their hands on the ground over a ruck

clsmooth · 21-10-2023 07:29PM

Superb by England so far. SA are in deep sh1t here IMO. Haven’t been able to lay a glove on England. Getting little joy from the maul or set piece, losing the kicking game and Farrell is more likely to make his 3 pointers than Libbock.

Furze99 · 21-10-2023 07:30PM

That penalty?

MaddChris · 21-10-2023 07:30PM

If an Irish player cost us getting sent back another 10 metres I'd be livid.

There's passion and then there's p*ssing off the ref.

tom1ie · 21-10-2023 07:30PM

Rugby is fecking mad. To me it looked like kolisi was trying to roll away but still got penalised.

I mean what the hell are ya supposed to do in that situation?

joseywhales · 21-10-2023 07:30PM

England are made for this kind of game. In the wet, low risk high percentage options everytime and clearly working on the boring crap, like kick chase, maul defence. The ball will never go outside 12 today.
