@booboo It confounds me how anyone thinks it’s entertaining. I know the rusted-ons love it it but the game increasingly resembles grid iron. Players too bulky. All about power. No poetry. No finesse
It's also dumb rugby from SA when chasing a 9 pt gap to reach the Final

Wet weather rugby is entertaining IMO. More than one style is why rugby is a great game.

But the "medical" breaks?

Even though some of the England kicking has been rushed and even desperate at times, they have kept the Boks out of their half. The Boks have really struggled to counter the kicking game.

Scrum penalty to line out maul...
Yeah England need to be careful with their handling. Their scrim may come back to bite them.

@His-Bobness England are doing exactly what they need to do to win. The surprise so far is that the Boks have no Plan B.

That's some kick by Pollard

Vunipola is on to lose the game.
