@kruse And at lock, all South Africa for the past 15-20mins

Did the turnaround coincide with Shields?
Best saboteur ever?

[PN]

Never known the boks to be able to chase down a big score. Game isn't over yet but coming back from the dead has been impressive.

[Billy Tell]

That was a cripple fight between defensive retards.

Vomited a little when I saw Brad "English" Shields heading out.

I was thinking Nikosi (? Bok14) was pretty much going to butcher everything and anything that looked like a try.
Nek Minnut...
(Daly ups the ante in ”I'm more incompetent than you“)
2 tries

Haha, the downfall started earlier I think.
Looks like a barbarians game, nice tries but some questionable defence too

[ShadowTrooper]

Shields has been about as much use to the England pack as a chocolate teapot

I saw him make a tackle earlier.
Not many chocolate teapots could do that. (although, he did have help)

Mako in the bin for a late hit. England handing this match to SA

[junior]

@junior and SA follow up with a quick try

[Derm McCrum]

Well I thought Ireland were poor but...

[MiketheSnow]

Great contest for the (not so) neutral 😉😁

Fucked up game.

[Billy Tell]

I miss the days when the SH would clean-sweep June international Saturdays.

[MiketheSnow]

Five in a row for Eddie.

SA almost threw that away.

Some dumb play in the last 5 for sure. Twice they got turnovers and gave it straight back instead of eating time. The second time was worse because they should have realised they created a broken situation which England scored from.

Enjoyable game to have on in the background here in the UK listening to the ebb and flow of the condescending commentators.

That's what we've done so far, esp if you count Japan with one of us vs 6 nations Italy! Now can argy hold up their end?

Lineout with a couple minutes to go, SA ahead by 3... SA are all lined up ready to go, while it's England dawdling in getting to it... bizarre.
