England by 3.

No way, SA by 2.

Nah, England all the way. Springboks are my hatiest team. Even cheer for the Aussies when they play each other.

Swap England and SethEfrika for me. Hate England. Always hope they lose.

Last time i hoped they won was the Scotland GS in 1990. Quite liked the way they played with Barnes at 10. The fact they lost with Andrew at 10 serves them right.

Barnes hadn't been on the scene for some time back in 1990 and didn't get another look in until 1993. But you're right, we played better rugby with him at 10.

One of my favourite games ever was the game v Aussie in '89 (I think). Carling. Guscott. Underwood. Became a fan of you fuckers briefly. Glad you fucked it up and became so unlikable:) .

We find it's not too difficult to make you colonials chippy.

Probably '88. We won in London but lost away earlier in the year.

Itoje gets a 10 minute rest already

[Crucial]

England giving endless penalties

[Stargazer]

That was a great catch from Nkosi.

YC for Itoje.

[Crucial]

Hartley lucky not to go as well

[Stargazer]

Very average game thus far. Many mistakes from both teams.

[Crucial]

Bet SA wish they had gone for scrums with Itoje off instead of line outs

[Crucial]

SA keep fucking up even though they are making ground at ease

[Crucial]

Marx is making Nathan Harris look like a darts champ

[Stargazer]

@crucial Marx hasn't been as good this year as he was last year. I'm a bit surprised by his World Rugby nomination for player of the year.

[Stargazer]

Yes, finally! Deserved try from Nkosi.

[Crucial]

SA finally get over the line.

[Crucial]

Itoje very ineffective. He has gone ruck shy after a couple of hard hits and can’t get niggly after his YC

@crucial Most overhyped Rugby player of the last thirty years....

You don’t remember Andrew Sheridan?

[sparky]

@crucial okay since him.

[Stargazer]

Boring first half. Not impressed.

[sparky]

Owen Farrell has kept England in this with two long-range penalties. South Africa should be more ahead.

Neither of these teams are great entertainers but they are effective enough at set piece, the breakdown and in defence.

I thought that SA were streets ahead in scrum, ruck and moving forward. A couple of dumb decisions and poor line outs have equalised things
If scoring was done by a judge I’d have it at about 15~6

Eztebeth hobbles off after holding Itoje up and creating a maul turnover
