    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

    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 QF

    I 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

    The only downside of a Bok was was they now equal our record.

    What are the downsides of an England win? Let me count the ways.

    Jeez the boks have been gracious in victory, and really talked about things important outside rugby. Hard to begrudge them, even when I'm half English!

    Which would explain my lack of posting yesterday, It took me ages to escape from her cellar.
