Something everyone forgets. When SA played England in the semi finals of the world cup, SA had come through the group of death. They then played France in the quarters. This game they are fresh, and, in my opinion have upped their game. England will be facing a fresher, and more evolved Bok 15.
you're spot on about the bench. Izwikie and Dombrandt have had little impact. There are good alternatives being ignored in my view. Overall problem, though, is that England have such a good depth of talent in most positions but it simply doesn't come together in team performance. Which means the coaching, preparation and game management isn't up to scratch.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, enjoy your content as always. I think bringing JVP straight back in is a big ask and thought that despite Spencer not playing amazingly one thing he can do well is box kick which it looks like we will be doing a fair bit off. I think a win for England is looking unlikely but never rule us out when our backs are against the wall. Enjoy the game 🏉
As a saffa , we need to lift our game from the Scotland game because if England comes out firing as they did in the world Cup we will definitely have a game on.
I don't think England can endure the Boks forwards. The starting pack is pure power and then followed 45 minutes later by 5 exceptional forwards. The backs are seasoned and have a great variation of attack with excellent defence. Lots of sentiment around that England have a good chance of winning on Saturday. Boks by 10+,
Do people really think George Ford WANTS to come on with 10 minutes to go with all that pressure to close out a game? So unfair. I'm an Aussie supporter, but feel sorry for him, as it's not his decision. He needs to decide when enough is enough.
If England were to go on and beat us, it will probably go down as one of their greatest victories in decades. They have gone through 2 very close, tough games and have to face a relatively fresh Bok side. The odds couldn't be any further from their favour.
England by ... (clears throat) England bye bye Springboks need to stay humble and play for a purpose greater than themselves. England will be taking this game very seriously. Boks need to as well.
Perhaps the heaviest and most poweful pack by SA ever with RG and Wilco Louw in starting 15. Wilco now 140kg. SA pack could try to demolish Eng, inflick more pain, and then for the Bomb Squad to finish them off. Inbetween hopefully Cheslin and Kurt-Lee Arendse to score a couple of tries.
I have just heard Andy Goode speak about the game and he is quite clear what he thinks about SB retaining Ford on the bench. He says, unless Smith is injured or nothing left in the tank, let smith play the 80minutes as FH. He also questioned the exclusion of Finn Smth. Now this man knows his stuff having been a FH at international level.
Nonsense. Just because he played doesn’t mean he knows what he’s talking about. How many ex players are good enough to be the England coach? Not many, so I think Borthwick knows more than him.
@ you apparently missed the point i was making which is an England international, who played at 10, made a clear statement which should carry some weight or at least more than a YT CHANNEL presenter who felt it appropriate for Ford to be on the bench
With all due respect, if England had beaten SA in the semi, it would have been a little bit of a farce. England only had to play Japan and Argentina in their pool game and then Fiji in a quarter final. SA had to play Scotland, Ireland and Tonga in pool game, then France in a quarter. No comparison. SA coming into that game exhausted. Hopefully not have such an unbalanced world cup again.
I think Borewick always tries to copy the Boks, but they prove time and again that only SA are big and nasty enough. You cannot replicate them. He's obviously going for a kicking gameplan with JVP and Steward, but we've sacrificed speed in defence. Their back 3 will light us up. SA by 15, I'd honestly predict. Hope I'm wrong
Totally agree. He’s completely out of his depth at this level. I think the players are only tolerating it because EJ’s regime had jumped the shark so badly. If he carries on with this level of wit, imagination and strategic foresight he’ll have sacked _himself_ by the end of the 6N.
There's only one way to beat the Boks: blindfold them.all, pump the ball full of sand so Polly cant kick at goal and get a French ref to blw the game, or Bryce Lawrence😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I predict the whistle to make it a close game. Boks by 6. Every Autumn nations World Rugby does everything in their power to disadvantage the Boks against England, normally they make it the last game so it falls outside the International window, and so their European based players were not allowed to play. This time they’ve given the Boks a 6 day turnaround.
Funny enough I have a feeling England may win this one. Backs against the wall and all that. They will play a kicking game slow lethargic , but if they win this will once again become the way they play and they will be right back where they started 😂😂😂

The other thing is the conditions. There is no way England can hold the Boks to just 16 points tomorrow.
Mate you speak well and have good content... I would suggest improving your background if you want any constructive criticism
It's like my halls of residence at university lol
Those hooks on your wall keep making me want to clean my screen ...

It‘ll be hard to watch for the Yorkshire half of me - but my SA side is going to enjoy it.

It's a 5-3 split

Springboks need to stay humble and play for a purpose greater than themselves. England will be taking this game very seriously.
Boks need to as well.
Rassie should make the players watch the 53 3 loss as motivation. That's what I would do.
ABs got some success with chop tackles no tackle assist straight in with jackal…easier said than done
Every single player in the Springbok team is a threat mate
Rassie is going for a clean win tomorrow. And my predictions , Boks by 15 points.
Perhaps the heaviest and most poweful pack by SA ever with RG and Wilco Louw in starting 15. Wilco now 140kg.

Springbok scrum to be in crushing mode. 😂

England have gotto put more points on the score board🏉🏴

Sincerely hope for the sake of rugby the referee Andrew Brace and the tmo are not the main men of the match.
England need to turn it into a bit of a sh*t show and just grind get bums off deck back in D line
England will win due to home advantage and the loss at the world cup semis
Yep England by 20 !😊
fear eng will get spanked today
