England v South Africa - 16/11/2024 (17.40)

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Freeman is honestly prob my fav option for 15 but he is never gonna get played there
Like give me a back line of

9. Randall,
10. F.Smith
11. Slightholme
12. Lawrence
13. Loz
14. Roebuck
15. Freeman

Would be my Backline pick tbh

Considering the play on the pitch I feel we are pretty lucky to only be down 2 at the break. Terrified for what happens when they remove libbok and get competence at 10.

 

[Wasps92]

Frustrating half.

Just silly bloody mistakes as usual which have tipped it in their favour. I'm bored of it.

 

[Geordie]

Jeez I hope we can develop some props who can actually feckin scrum!

And we need a 6'10 giant in there.

And we need to sort the centres out...

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Wiese is so underrated by Boks fans I would love for him to have been England 8

 

[OllyM97]

I think we've done pretty well but SA have definitely got more gears in them. Libbok though….. geez.

 

[AlRums]

Scoreline flattering England

And when they bring on 7 world cup winners from the bench.

Agreed, often gets pigeonholed as just a strong carry but honestly great all around game.

Same. They've had to do very little for their tries. Every time we've scored we've gifted them a way to get straight back at us.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I feel generally the pick is holding up well, but this defensive line is not working for us

Backs are a mess

Just seen the score. We've scored tries. How many did Scotland score last week?

 

[jordiev]

And when they bring on 7 world cup winners from the bench.

There is also that… but libbok is brutal think pollard for libbok makes this very ugly.

 

[rN_X]

Another very average half by the boks. Just short of poor

Not sure what you're watching tbf.

 

[Scotty]

We had some bad defensive lapses where they got through easy, bad reads and tackle by Steward.

But Underhill looks good, we are handling the physicality well and down 2 points at half time with us scoring 2 tries...I'll take that tbh

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

Underhill always a great player, no idea why he was dropped by idiot SB.

Totally agree. A fit Underhill should be a guaranteed starter

 

[ChicagoKid]

The color commentator is such a negative prick. I hated watching premiership games he was on.

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

Libbok reminds me of Mike Catt in that he is quite good at kicking out of hand but terrible off the tee.

 

[Saintjay]

And when they bring on 7 world cup winners from the bench.

Yeah need a big effort in the final 20. We've folded far to easily in recent games
