since he stopped being a dick, Farrell has been sensational.

England's pack in the scrum are getting pushed around everywhere now. Ball needs to go in and out fast or they will keep turning it over.

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Lost the edge in the pack post SA subs.

Whilst I don't want England to lose, I kind of want them to get obliterated so we can possibly see a shift in selection and some new (and more exciting) players come in to the side.

Or we win and then get obliterated in the final by NZ lol

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Been a good match this

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Why was that a penalty? Scrum collapse?

 

[Barmy_in_Palmy]

The only only reason I don’t want England to win is because all I can imagine, is that the final goes into multiple overtime’s before it ends up in a drop kicking contest where a NZ born player for England slots one over from their own 22 and wins the game.

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Vunipola. Groan.

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

I think the subs and changes have just proved too much. They are too powerful. England can't compete in the scrum or in power. They need to avoid these contests.

Seem to grinding it out

 

[midoshairband]

yea the subs have swing it alright.

be a huge surprise if we can hold out now.

Got to the usual point in a match v SA when every single scrum ends in a penalty for SA. Regardless of what happens. It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

 

[midoshairband]

looks like we'll regret those two great opps we had in their 22.

such a shame after such a heroic performance.

 

[BorjeSpurs]

Squeaky bum time?

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Terrible kick. Straight into SA plans with a mark and a scrum

It was a late mark tho.

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Mini he-man is fucking brilliant and horrible at the same time

 

[Johnny J]

We've lost control of this. That scrum we lost down their end was the turning point.

 

[Yid-ol]

Some stupid kicking. Getting no gain and then knocking it on anyway.

 

[Glasseye]

This game is intense, so very tight not what I expected at all
