England v SA- same larger squad

[Which Tyler]

Squidge's video on France v the boks talks about their different kicking strategies (and the boks' evolving game):

I'm not a fan of his presentation style, and I think he gets carried away with seeing patterns in a single piece of play - but I always like his videos, and the in-depth analysis that goes way further than I'm capable of.

Exactly- I also think he sees patterns in random play . But its great insight into the complexities of planning and approaches.

Other than the one about how good George Ford is, which is spot on…

[16th man]

Awesome 2nd half collapse from Wales today. Makes last weekends AB effort look composed and controlled in comparison.

Just seen this elsewhere

Some talk about Wayne Barnes, was supposed to be receiving an award for 100 reffed Internarional games at Twickenham today. Has decided not receive it due to SA fans.

Interesting to see Hartley say EJ said despite everything they never complain about the ref.

Is there going to be point where refs refuse to do SA matches?

First para is fact, according to a Times journo - said he’d talked to Barnes directly. He also said that that there are talks amongst refs about refusing to officiate SA matches.

Mako starts as he means to go on

[Mellsblue]

Stewart dropping an easy high ball and Farrell missing a sitter. I blame Eddie.

[ad_tigger]

I'm genuinely terrified that Mako is going to get turned inside out and upside down, if he is he may not feature in the six nations, really hope I'm wrong though. I think Genge was incredibly unlucky with the ref last week, so hope he can out bomb squad the bomb squad when he comes on angry and fresh with 30 to go.

I like keeping JvP in, dropping him to the bench would have been counterproductive especially as he needs as much game time as possible before the world cup.

Is it wrong to self quote...

Farking hell. Mako will be in traction tomorrow.

Rassie currently furiously battering away at the fisher price mobile they've bought him.

Normally yeah, but normally you’d think “upside down” is an exaggeration. That was like some sort of glitch in a video game. He’s spent half the game standing on his head.

[Mellsblue]

Smith on the gain line without fancy wrap around, out the back rubbish…

[Beasties]

Don’t say I didn’t warn you about Mako. Gonna be a long afternoon for him, or maybe not.

[16th man]

Liking the ambition but maybe not 10 metres from our own line.

I'm pretty sure we all warned each other about Mako.
A rare moment of RR unanimity

[Mellsblue]

England water ‘boys’ ignoring the ref is pissing me off.

[16th man]

ffs

[Beasties]

Potty mouth. Faz btw.

The Iceman cometh

[Mellsblue]

Even Steward is making silly mistakes.

[16th man]

Not a great couple of minutes.

Why is Farrell kicking if hes on one leg? 6pts left on the park because of it now, completely unnecessarily.

[Mr Mwenda]

Two sides not much interested in playing rugby.

[Mellsblue]

No guard for JVP again…
