@Machpants Haha, my Saffa mates have been great this RWC, well except for the English one (as in he's dual citizen) as he supports England. Aside from my English/Saffa mate I have avoided making acquaintances with the English.
My wife is one, so hard not to! Tho she calls herself Cornish and British not English - she hates the English more than I do and supports Wales more haha
Oh shit you reminded me I lied, I do have an English mate, but he supports the ABs (and the Poo so he's not perfect).
The Cornish are very proud of being Cornish, I have a half Cornish friend, she's still happy to say she's English though but will say Cornish-English. Her family are a lot darker than the usual ENglish look.

Me too, he's my favourite English player, but in that vein Itoje RWC winner makes me feel sick.

i could accept england winning over south africa...their fans were bad enough when they won last time...can you imagine doing two in a row 4 in total?
plus almost all my family live in the UK now....
....but i really hope we win
-
The only way South Africa beat us in a final is if they poison us again.

The list of English players I don’t like is disappointingly short.
Even guys like Will Carling and Austin Healey proved to be quite good funny buggers once they retired.
Matt Dawson obviously. That Hakarena shit was so embarrassing.
Owen Farrell……
But really hard to think of any others.

Not familiar enough with his work. I’d better make sure to watch the semi very closely and reassess.

England is the least evil for me. I'm actually a fan even though their play is like a roller coaster. Boks, enemy number 1 no way. Cheika winning it, get stuffed.

I'd cross out LF for ALB too. Just in case we need defensive steel at the end again.

Can I ask, without having to read back through the thread, why we're going 6/2? We're not Saffas.
We've had a 6/2 earlier this year
It's just speculation. It might be an option to manage the workload of the pack. If things are going well we can get more of our elderly forwards off. It's only a 6 day turnaround and they had a huge workrate on the weekend
