Not looking forward to Scotland playing this England team. Imagine us huffing and puffing against this lot and losing 15-0 to an England team who never even got into our 22.

Weird thing is we own this England team but can’t put a glove on Ireland and SA.

Surely Pollard of all people knows that kicking the ball on top of Steward is stupid as f**k

Why persist with high kicks when Steward is catching everything?

You would hope so,  bit their entire game plan at the moment seems to be based around hoping that Steward drops one.

Problem is you were expecting England to need a massive stroke of luck to get within 30 points of either South Africa or New Zealand, like a ridiculous red card where the tackler could do nothing about it, and if they got that once it doesn't happen twice. They're getting through this semi-final by tactically annihilating South Africa, despite not having a single player who'd be in their 22.

Having carried out this tactical destruction which is in no way a fluke, they might just get the fluky bit of luck if they make a final.

Remember they did this to NZ in 2019 and got bodied in the final by SA...

So glad South Africa have saved their worst performance in years for this game.

Fair play to England for playing the perfect game to take advantage.

If we had gotten their group and quarter-final draw there would be a very strong chance we'd be in this game (probably getting pumped).
