Rugby World Cup 2023

[Tommy Chong]

Lineouts have been shocking on both sides tonight...

 

[boris]

Definitely suits England

This is exactly what England wanted to do and why I always thought SA suited England better than France.

Still a long way to go though England just need to keep their discipline and take every point they can.

I’d be drop kicking everyone time they get a chance as well.

 

[Bagpuss]

That’s ruthless pulling Libbock already.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Pollard on, so SA are also going for the kicking game.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Pollard is coming on. Good move. They should get the wee man on too.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

That’s ruthless pulling Libbock already.

But justifiable, the South Africans needed a wake up call

Yep I agree, don’t think there are many that would do it though before half time.

Agree, but it's also the quickest way to change the dynamic of the game. Those extra few minutes could be crucial.

This ref is worse than Pawson was this morning

 

[Walken]

That's probably as good as this England team can play, and you'd still expect the saffers to come back and win from here

 

[edge]

Farrell is an absolute scrote.

Just won me a couple of quid.
Had him 3/1 to get 10+ points
Had a tenner on it.
Sky bet bonus bet

I think I agree with that, still have South Africa as favourites, but how easily those attacking lineouts were defended will be a concern.

 

[Bagpuss]

Having pulled Libbock was a bit surprised they didn’t sub the hooker too. Think they will be making that change sooner rather than later and bringing Faf on at scrum half too with his extra physicality.

Saffas have the best bench at the tournament, I'd be expecting a plethora of changes.

The rains pissing down now... It's going to make conditions harder.
