[Poll] Who would you prefer to win?
-
I don't like any of these guys!
-
I still haven't voted because I can't decide.

Obviously I don’t expect saffas to agree.
But for the good of rugby , would it be a positive, england winning, playing an expansive game style by their standards ?

Well with all the money in the NH, having the world champions temporarily up there would be good for rugby.
As for the style, I’m not expecting them to go wide this time, but with Eddie who knows.

Choosing between these teams is like choosing which arm you'd prefer to cut off or which sister you'd like to kiss.
This.

Yeah... Go on then England. Those going against England because fans have short memories. I still remember hanging with some okes and them losing their shit about an EOYT game against Italy or something, crowing at me about that's how you play rugby....then asking if the ABs were playing that weekend. I think we'd just beaten an actual decent side so they got pretty quiet after that.
It won't be easy seeing Itoje and that dick prop and sure some poms will be dicks but hey they have less to crow about.

Very much firmed to the Bokke.
Firstly: England do not need any more excuse to not share revenue.
Secondly: Eddie Jones's childish response to Warren Gatland's perfectly reasonable observation about performance dipping after a huge emotional effort.
But was it perfectly reasonable? Gatland didn't say anything about South Africa, only a swipe against in England. Why? Did South Africa not have a hard match against Wales? Did they not put their all into that match? No he just had a dig at England. Sour grapes. I thought Eddie's response was bang on the money.

Yep Gatland protecting his legacy.
'We lost to them, now if you lose to them then I don't look so bad.
Even though I should have changed tactics late in the match'

I want England to win, hopefully fulfilling Eddie's statement this week that they can play better than they did against NZ
But my biggest hope is if SA win it's on merit.
Regardless of whether the match is a barn burner or slow as molasses, as long as either side win independent of Garces & Skeen I'll be happy.
In fairness though if the usual suspects play up, then they should be dispatched

OK comon England let's do this

Yeah it was.
And in the end justified.
Gatland made a perfectly reasonable and reasoned comment and warning that there's been a history of hyped up performances followed by flat ones, e.g.,:
1987 France semi
1995 NZ semi
1999 France semi
2007 France QF
2011 NZ semi
2015 NZ QFI extend my sympathies for your result Cato. But I have none for Eddie.

(Note: Wales have played one more game and England one less than SA & NZ).
I think it safe to assume that we might have scored a few tries against Italy...
Warning: I’m posting under the influence. I reserve the right to withdraw this post.
Reckon you could 8-10 tries @Snowy
