Big first half... have to keep our heads here keep going. Rassie looked rattled which is a good sign
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Exactly - SA normally dictate the game through their forward power but we’ve largely driven the narrative because we’ve fronted upTiger_in_Birmingham wrote: ↑Sat Oct 21, 2023 8:49 pmSA haven't been allowed to turn up.

Our guys have been superb. Martin showing why he was selected and that he can mix it with the best in the world. Absolute wrecking ball. Carl Fearns, who comes up with some questionable stuff on social media, was lauding him and his selection - for once he was spot on.

So you think this is the same SA as last week then and we are doing a better job than France did?

Re: RWC 2023 Fixtures and results
England will take that half time score any day.
As someone who often criticises pointless kicking they’ve used the kick brilliantly. I hate saying it, but despite being a Saints fan, Mitchell has been spot on.
Steward has been note perfect.
Big delight is the forward battle. Lawes and Martin have been ruthless. Some of their hits have been immense.
Only concern is OF. He’s the captain and letting the emotion get to him too much. That said, his tackling and kicking has been perfect.
Think the danger point will be next 10. SA are going to come out of the blocks.

Obviously not - it’s a different game but we’ve made it a different game. Arguably S+C is the most important factorScott1 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 21, 2023 8:58 pmSo you think this is the same SA as last week then and we are doing a better job than France did?
