That's my point Dunc. Football equivalent been waiting over 40 years.

Alberts carrying the South African pack. There rucking is pathetic but lets face it Houghaard has been ponderous at the breakdown.
|
|
By:
Ha, touche.
|
|
By:
This is a great physical game so far. I know I am boring but keeping the draw well onside on the evidence so far.
|
|
By:
Really entertaining rugby from England, rather than the old catch it and fall over rubbish from previous seasons. Players won't settle for heroic failure here.
|
|
By:
Very good solid start from England for sure.
Heroic failure would have been good down under from previous teams. Utter pasting was more likely! |
|
By:
Jaysus that was a bit loose from Farrell
 |
|
By:
The draw is safely tucked away here too, all the more so with some moisture around.
|
|
By:
Kicking game needs to improve. Far too deep which makes a decent chase almost impossible.
|
|
By:
It's not too much of an issue at all if Eng have heroic failure on this tour. As we are now saying, at least they are picking new players and form players and the days of Tindall/Shaw et al are thankfully long gone

England playing well....
One man game so far |
|
By:
draw price has barely moved. Bit odd bearing in mind how tight it has been.
|

How did no official pick up Bismark being 3 yards offside ffs????
Crap like that turns matches. |
|
By:
What a tackle from Tuilagi. Almost knocked him over the try line!!
|
|
By:
Brilliant defence.
|
|
By:
Was that Marler?
Brilliant turnover from the young prop |
|
By:
manu with one of the tackles of the year there
and was then in with two more in the same passage - great stuff by both teams |
|
By:
Superb defence and justice done after any number of Boks were offside.
|
|
By:
Need to sort the scrum out.
|
|
By:
Rugby union as a sport needs to sort the scrum out. They can start with eliminating feeding.
|

Barrit back on his home ground
 |
|
By:
Francois Houghaard is so slow at the breakdown its scary. They are not blowing past just standing around.
Fowards coach need to hand back todays fee |
|
By:
That could be a yellow mr Walsh. Try coming there and killed dead.
|
|
By:
Big Bad Ben does the business. Can't wait to see him in Cherry & White!
|

By:
It's unbelievable that SA, with their 10 man game, do not opt for Pienaar at 9 to pull the strings and take some pressure off Steyn. Hougaard far better suited to fast, open games or coming off the bench with his pace.
|

By:
Hell of a signing for Gloucester is Morgan. They still need some tight-five forwards to challenge I think, but there is plenty of good young talent in other areas for sure.
|
|
By:
Didn't understand the pen there. Surely the ball was knocked loose and the SA player picked up a loose ball?
Can someone who knows the rules explain. Thanks. |
|
By:
Not sure who knocked it out, but the SA players feet were well in front of the back foot as he stood at the side. Just wasn't onside when he picked it up.
|
|
By:
The SA defender needs to be behind the hindmost foot when the ruck is formed. The ball did squirt out but he was already in an offside position.
|
|
By:
In fact, technically the moment he picked it up maybe wasn't relevant if the ball was knocked out, but the fact he didn't retreat did for him.
|
|
By:
OK thanks
|
|
By:
Rumours are that he won't be the only Scarlet on his way to Kingsholm RM.
|
|
By:
Ah, shame. It's always the one you don't see that does for you. Ashton so nearly in.
Intelligent play by Youngs and Ashton though. Good to see! |
|
By:
Pinching Scarlets kids probably isn't a bad idea Glossy. Two of the best academies around at Glos and Llanelli.
Only trouble is their props are not great and that's what Glos need. Maybe pinch a lock, although Reed has just gone to Cardiff and they wont want to lose any more. |
|
By:
Hartley kicking? He is no Gethin Jenkins
 |
|
By:
That was the worst organised maul I have ever seen from SA. Matfield and Botha missing is a big problem.
|
|
By:
Two shockers in a row from Brown. That's dreadful.
|
|
By:
Losing a line out as well! Never saw that with Matfield playing.
|
|
By:
Why didn't Brown let that go from Kirchner??? Way too much on it!
|
|
By:
Out of interest, why not Matfield or Botha? Injured, retired or just not selected?
