Jack van Poortvliet, what's his background. Dutch name, Dutch dad?
Slow as a wet week

Does anyone else think the pass to Le Roux was forward? Looked a bit Michalak-like.
Marginal for me. No complaints.

@SidBarret Thomas Tank come from the same TH Paarl Boys factory as Fat Frans. The next one, my good friend's son, Sebastiaan Lombaard, SA U20 plying his trade at Jake White's Bulls. Thanks Richard Visagie.
Any relation to Kobus?

@Rapido Nah he is talking about Cobus Visagie. No Cobus was a Paul Roser, Richard Visagie played TH for Boland in the good old days when Boland was still a force in CC rugby. Richard is a teacher , vice principal at Paarl Boys High and for years their 1st team coach.

It’s looking like the knives are being sharpened for Eddie. The RFU have announced a series of reviews into the current situation.
My thoughts? Invest in gin shares. This could run and run.

@Billy-Tell Yes, pass looked a shade forward.
Think both games have highlighted three things which will be crucial come WC time.
Discipline leadership/game management and the ability to execute in the last 10 mins. Simple really.......now if only Foster was paying attention...I think part of that game management has to be the ability to kick drop goals.
Given the rucks are an absolute lottery and possession is turned over far more frequently than the past either through penalties, TMO interventions or errors - being able to quickly adjust to set up for a droppy and then execute should be part of the plan.
Gone are the days of 12-15 phases, especially when some refs seem to be hunting for penalties.

Yes. Not having the ball seems to be the less risky option, which to me says that the current law interpretations are wrong.

No, but I found Arendse's running line back toward Willemse interesting.
Go look at 15s into that clip and how Green 14 moves directly toward the receiver, then moves out of the line, right into the path of the defender.
Have seen more innocent attempts penalised.

The only size that matter on a rugby field is the size of the heart.
I look forward to facing the 90 kg Bok locks with "big hearts" in the future then.
Or the props

Matt Dawson and Mike Brown have publicly called Eddie to go. SCW wants RFU chair Sweeney to go. All three seem to have sauces inside the England camp. Getting nasty. Don't know about gin, but I'd fetch the popcorn.

@Catogrande hard lines. Faithful England fans deserve better.
