Mark Connolly Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Seems utterly bizarre for Sky to be taking the South African coverage of a game at Twickenham 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 The disallowed try was a thing of beauty. SA’s scrum looks monstrous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 It's going to be tough to beat this lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 As much as it'll upset the usual people, games like this show that constantly criticising refs and highlighting their poor performances against you fucking works. Refs are scared to give decisions against SA because of the inevitable backlash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 SA are so fucking powerful, and so effective. Steve Borthwick is watching this wondering how the same gameplan doesn't work for England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Nice little cheap shot on the try scorer there. Ignored of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Just now, GAD said: Nice little cheap shot on the try scorer there. Ignored of course. Was just thinking that. Not necessarily just a SA thing though, it's been ages since I saw that penalised. Used to be a penalty at halfway, and the head contact there surely merits a yellow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Not a huge fan of the 7-1 split on the bench either. Kind of defeats the purpose of rugby being "a game for all shapes and sizes" if you basically sub on a fresh pack of forwards to keep smashing the opposition 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Bit embarrassing for the English that the crowd tonight is likely to have been much higher than England will have on Sunday. Edited August 25, 2023 by peasy23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 The bunker review thing gets more and more confusing. Scott Barrett already had a yellow card, so why did they need to bunker review the second one? Surely he's off anyway? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it was deemed to be a straight red card offence it would have a different effect on any possible ban he might get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 South Africa should be easy enough for us.... They looked very good and I think they could up their levels further. WC is likely to be a damp squib for us even though we have a decent squad which is a shame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
