I love how everyone has written England off and don't give us a prayer against RSA. We go in as massive underdogs but I think it's a good position to be in!
Only issue is England will have to play their guts and and NZ will be fresh as a daisy in the final so would be a repeat of the 2019 world cup where SA had the easiest run to a final in world cup history.
I’d say being massive underdogs is pretty much the worst position you could be in. Obviously hoping we can pull of a miracle but I’d much rather we’d actually showed some evidence that we can play at SA’s level prior to the game
Congratulations Jonny and Sophie - Jonny seems like someone who will put a lot of effort and attention into what is important, so I am sure he will become a great dad, just as he became a great rugby player.
Go well, lads. We are proud of you for getting to the Semis and we are behind you for the remainder of the tournament. Block out the noise and give it your best crack! 🌹
What lovely words from jonny. Becoming a father is one of the best things in the world. Good luck this weekend boys. Let's show South African what we are made off.
"driving on the wrong side of the road" Funny that, coming from the island state with the traffic definitely on the wrong side.. jokes aside, good luck on saturday! Was such a great tournament up to now!
loving, where we are, but there is no doub't we need to bring the oppo down to our level. Which we can do, through out our history, we have been under estimated and that tends to be when we stand up, Nothing is written. go hard boys.
You’re just kidding yourself …..Springboks will dominate you in the forwards and outrun you in the backs………You can guarantee a lot of f……..ing swearing from that pri…..k Owen to the ref
Borthwicks selection against SA is going to be key. To not use Ford and Theo Dan against Fiji (because they weren’t needed?) I don’t think will work with the Boks. We need every player off the bench!
@@Tyson8887 South Africa didn't score a try in a final until last time out. So, you're basically saying you won 2 world cups by being boring. Haha. Oh, and we are scoring a try. But please keep the typical arrogance coming with you thinking you've already won the world cup.
Epic guy, Glos supporter so biased but Go On Jonny May and score 2 tries against Saffers. PS 6 forwards and DC and FS on the bench- when Manu gets tired at 55 mins bring on the forwards swap CL in 2nd row BV to 8 LL to 6 TC stays at 7 and put Ben Earl into inside centre like Joe Worsley against Jamie Roberts- he's quick enough and SB needs to think outside the box.
Southern Hemisphere teams always bring their A game to world cups, not matter how poor they perform prior. Northern hemisphere teams always do the opposite, always dropping the ball when it matters. Case and point Ireland. But I do feel like England are a bit of an exception, they always manage to scramble in time for the World Cup, even if they do so with an ‘we’re just seeing how far we can ride this train’ mindset, while SA and NZ always aim to win.
Yeah, unbeaten when you're literally gifted with the easiest draw hence you're placed in the easiest pool😏 The highest ranked team England have played are Fiji (8th in the world) and they barely got past them. Don't worry though, England will get a taste of reality tonight😉 Enjoy playing for 3rd & 4th place next week😄
Can't wait to see England get knocked out tonight😀 I don't give a damn how the Boks do it as long as they win. England were gifted with the easiest group and barely scraped past Fiji who are ranked 8th in the world. Come on you mighty BOKKE💪🏻💪🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Jonny May, Arundel and Steward would be my back 3 against South Africa in the semi final. May and Steward to deal with the all the high balls that are destined to rain down. Arundel for his pace , to go up against their speedsters. Ford at 10 , for his game management and to fire his spiral bombs down on their back 3. Manu and Marchant in the centre's. Mitchell at 9 with Care getting splinters on the bench. Keep the bench off the field for as long as possible, don't make changes unnecessarily.
To be fair May's had a very underwhleming WC. He's well past it. Henry deserves his chance to blitz the Bok backline. Steve..... if not.... when????????
Owen Farrell probably mouthing off and head butting someone……Genge still upset he didn’t go to a posher school and Marler tickling Marcus’ balls……..a normal team bonding moment for the english
and if you have been scrolling and reading all the comments floating around….you’ve obviously had a bit of spare time on a rainy day like me😂😂😂@@man_of_men_
I’m sorry but England are getting smacked around so badly this weekend as an English fan I’d rather not watch the game. Just the level of physicality and intensity will be something this English side hasn’t faced yet. It will be an utter annihilation from start to finish.
“As an England fan”?? Fair weather fan maybe, but that’s still probably overstating it. Fans support their team through good times AND bad, they don’t just turn up in the pub in their replica shirt when the team is winning.
Congratulations Jonny on becoming a father, and CMON ENGLANDDDD!!!!!!
@@Tyson8887 you're an embarrassment to your nation acting like this

@@Jbhowe234he’s talking about the 2019 SA’s lead up to the final
@@The77310 cool
We’re going to get demolished by SA
Congratulations Jonny and Sophie - Jonny seems like someone who will put a lot of effort and attention into what is important, so I am sure he will become a great dad, just as he became a great rugby player.
Such a nice episode ! Nice to see more of Jonny! Go boys, let's keep going !!
Very sweet….but shouldn’t they be practising how to play rugby
@@Tyson8887 That's your own opininon, thanks for sharing it :)
@@IainHirons Thanks a lot ! I suppose they are also training for the game, thanks for the great tips !
@@Tyson8887 Haha I love banter no worries! Looking forward to the game, the selection from SB is interesting will see what happens !
Go well, lads. We are proud of you for getting to the Semis and we are behind you for the remainder of the tournament. Block out the noise and give it your best crack! 🌹
Think Johnny May would be a fantastic coach one day. You can hear from him speaking how well he understands the game
Come on lads! Climb that mountain!
Do you think England will beat Argentina in the playoffs?
@@Tyson8887 can you watch the game with load shedding 😆😆😆⚡⚡⚡⚡
@@Tyson8887you couldn't afford it earning micky mouse Rand.
£30 = 20 million Rand 😂😂😂
What lovely words from jonny. Becoming a father is one of the best things in the world. Good luck this weekend boys. Let's show South African what we are made off.
Made of bad manners and a whole lotta cussing
Love these videos seeing the boys behind the scenes, what a nice fella Jonny is 👏 in other news, COME ON LADS TIME FOR REVENGE ⚔ 🌹
Always appreciated these videos since the last world Cup. Let's give SA a good crack 👏
Is “ crack” the Irish for a good time……….because books are looking forward to this game….an easy weekend until the final
Love this dude. Fond memories of a few years ago when i'd see him and Sophie around Harborough.
Jomny your wife sounds like a legend! Never take that for granted 😁
She spends all her time propping up his ego…….great wife
@@IainHirons What are you on about?
Did enjoy the music in the background whilst Joe Marler is cheering into his phone.👀😆
Love the Johnny May chest wig. I have not worn one of those since the 70s.
Probably something that would turn Joe Marler on……all a bit….what’s the word?
Come on England 🏴🏴😤
Come on boys!!! Bring on the Boks; nothing to lose, everything to gain!
Leetttsss goooo boys!! WHEN you get into the final I’m cycling to Paris from London on my single speed bike!! See you therrreee
Pretty special having a baby big ups jon boy he should be a fast little lad
All the best well done
See you Wednesday guy, loved the podcast
Top pro. Top guy.
Jonny is in the all time england team 38 try for england
Come on boys!!
"driving on the wrong side of the road" Funny that, coming from the island state with the traffic definitely on the wrong side.. jokes aside, good luck on saturday! Was such a great tournament up to now!
Congratulations on making Semi finals.
But a mountain to climb come Saturday.
They will need a funicular

You can only have 15 on the field at a time…..learn the rules English!
@@IainHirons He didn't mean at the same time. Learn to understand basic logic.
@@Tyson8887 South Africa didn't score a try in a final until last time out. So, you're basically saying you won 2 world cups by being boring. Haha.
Oh, and we are scoring a try. But please keep the typical arrogance coming with you thinking you've already won the world cup.
You twit😂😂😂😂😂😂i know that ,it’s called irony@@seablock
@@IainHirons Asking him to learn the rules was you being ironic? Then it's clear you don't understand irony either. Haha.
To Jonny’s credit, he’s the ultimate professional. But is he Englands best player in his position?
Epic guy, Glos supporter so biased but Go On Jonny May and score 2 tries against Saffers.
PS 6 forwards and DC and FS on the bench- when Manu gets tired at 55 mins bring on the forwards swap CL in 2nd row BV to 8 LL to 6 TC stays at 7 and put Ben Earl into inside centre like Joe Worsley against Jamie Roberts- he's quick enough and SB needs to think outside the box.

Imagine if the average Prem player looked after himself half as well as Jonny May does 😮
Yes….he does spend a lot of time preening…..and less on actual rugby
@@IainHirons I disagree fella, he’s an exceptionally professional and highly conditioned athlete. Not sure everyone in the Prem can say that
England are the only unbeaten team left in RWC 23...... hopefully it stays that way🤞🤞
Yeah, unbeaten when you're literally gifted with the easiest draw hence you're placed in the easiest pool😏 The highest ranked team England have played are Fiji (8th in the world) and they barely got past them. Don't worry though, England will get a taste of reality tonight😉 Enjoy playing for 3rd & 4th place next week😄
Where is Arundel ffs.
Is arundel injured ?
Ostracized after falling out with Farrell.
I think we need a re-take on that intro 😜
12.45 music please anyone?
For Lawes's jackle turnover, no ruck had formed right? How come he was able to go for the ball?
No ruck formed, which is why he can go for the ball
Shame , what were they doing to Bevan🤣🤣🤣
Can't wait to see England get knocked out tonight😀 I don't give a damn how the Boks do it as long as they win. England were gifted with the easiest group and barely scraped past Fiji who are ranked 8th in the world. Come on you mighty BOKKE💪🏻💪🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Did not take these lot as Zach Bryan listeners, especially in the gym!
Unfortunately passed his best - needs dropping for SA.

You’re right …did I forget the punch up Owen had last week@@somanytakennames
With his own team mate…..😂😂
@@IainHirons You've replied to so many comments on here that I'm starting to think you're an English fan 😉
