[2014 EOYT] England vs South Africa

[Big Ewis]

I feel for Lancaster. What's happening today isn't his fault (except the maul defense, I don't know).
Bad miss from Lambie...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Thank God Lambie's goal kicking isn't at it's best today.

 

[Big Ewis]

Le Roux is just subscribed to making bad decisions. Absolutely amazing he got a nom, amazing.

 

[TommiG88]

Get Farrell off.

 

[The Jones Boy]

No live feed here, whats the score?

 

[ratsapprentice]

Wtf was that?

If you want to play, then play... If you don't then kick it out!
Why would you kick it infield to their winger?

 

[Tony Manx]

Cr*p game and England have too many cr*p players here...............Care/Wood/Billy/Farrell...............let us have some early changes if only to make sure we stay awake for the second half..............mind you, SA are not really that much better................

Why not? He picks the players. I can understand that we have given the ball away time after time. However, We lack a game plan and I can't remember May or Watson touching the ball. As our backs play ends when it gets to either Farrell or Barritt.

Get Farrell off.

Get him out of the squad even.

I've been saying this a long time. They typically get the ball when fielding and snippets in blindside attacks. Our wingers might get the ball in space like once or twice a game.

And out of the country ! Maybe Toulon might buy him ? Then even if Lancaster wanted to pick him he couldn't

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

England seem determined to lose this, SA are playing absolutely crap but England are being even worse than that. Literally no redeeming features apart from the lineouts. Defence is poor, breakdown work is terrible, Care is SO slow, kicking is poor, directionless in attack, poor decision making, crap handling and crap discipline. Vunipola, Wood and Farrell NEED to come off. Care should as well but we don't have any scrumhalf that can do better. Shocking game all round.

Nah Toulon buy decent players......they did not even go for Flood!!!!!

Selectionwise it certainly is his fault. The players who have been poor, made mistakes, or given away penalties, are those who have been in no form - wood, vunipola, Farrell.

Good idea!

Farrell, to be fair much as I dislike him, has not played enough through injury and THAT alone should have precluded him from this series but THAT is down to Lancaster and his team not seeing anything other than they want to see..............

Well they bought halfpenny . A good defensive player who can kick off the tee well ..... Remind you of anyone ?

Shove him in a shuttle and let him be the first man on Mars. That way Lancaster can't even be tempted to include him then.

I feel really, really, really bad for Cipriani. (And Ford. Pretty much everyone on here wanted him to start.)

Care used to have this really bad habit of taking a few steps at every single breakdown. When Youngs came in for the first time, he didn't do this, and promptly got selected. Care buckled down and seemed to stop doing this, but appears to be going back to old habits.

Got it spot on there Tony

 

[Crapspray]

**** me.

70% territory, 60% posession - and the backs still can't buy a try! You never know, two more games of headless, spasmodic attacking and Lancaster might actually realise he needs a dedicated attack coach to sort this **** out.

As said, the players who under-performed last week are under-performing again. Who'd a thunk it?

 

[TommiG88]

Cipriani at 10 right now seems like a impossible dream. Front foot rugby, so bloody stationary at the moment.
