Haven't watched this game, yet. Worth watching?
Watch a condensed version, 5 minutes or so would do it. There were a few highlights in there.

Loved this;
I think it is illegal. The lifters need to lower the player to the ground.
That is potentially dangerous I would say.
Yep. Law 18.29.c
18 Touch, quick throw and lineout
- Once the lineout has commenced, any player in the lineout may:
c. Lift or support a team-mate. Players who do so must lower that player to the ground safely as soon as the ball is won by either team. Sanction: Free-kick.

England looked tired. Hopefully, there is not too much left in the Bok legs, too.

England are frustrating to watch knowing how many talented players they have to choose from, but you have to tip your hat to Borthwick based on the previous 6N and Summer Warm Ups form
“I'm delighted for the players, who have worked so hard," he said.
"We won six games out of seven and lost one game by one point to the world champions, which shows the progress of the team."
He added: "I've already started looking forward to the Six Nations in my mind.”

What if they catch him and lower him safely?
Reading the law I'd say it would be legal.

England celebrate their Bronze Medals.
Good on them. It is still an achievement to come third.
Wasn't there a case a while back when a player threw away their bronze medal? I thought what a plonker.
Does that ring any bells.

@Damo Cassius Clay threw his Olympic Gold Medal from the 1960 Rome Games into the Ohio River after being chased by racists and he wasn’t awarded a new one until the 1996 Atlanta Games.
SBW put his RWC winners medal around the kid’s head, but he was given another one the next day.
Jose Mourinho has a habit of throwing medals into the crowd.
A Swedish Ice Hockey captain threw his runners’ up medal in the crowd.
Maro Itoje got criticism for taking off his runners’ up medal in Japan but I don’t think he threw it away.

Brian Moore threw his 1991 silver away and I think I read somewhere that he now regrets that.
Yeah he said it in a recent interview. OK it is not gold but fucking hell, not many people get silver either. And when your career is behind you, it will mean a lot.

Yep. The law doesn't really state what happens in between lifting and landing

Like Aaron Smith?

Seen it before.
No way I wasn’t watching it again.
Best.

Never seen that before, absolutely loved it, in fact there must be some dust in the air. Would never ever begrudge a player his reaction after a game, that right belongs to the man in the arena.
what a salutary reminder that however this evening goes for the 46 players involved, no one can ever take it away from them, win or lose.
