England vs South Africa 20 / 11 / 2021

The below article is a good read before the game, to set the context is some has been living under a rock.

None bigger than the team? Twickenham will be about Rassie, whether the Boks like it or not

None bigger than the team? Twickenham will be about Rassie, whether the Boks like it or not | Sport

The irony of the Springboks' showdown against England at Twickenham is that it's all about Rassie Erasmus, even if that's not the team's core culture.

Nervous about this today. Saffers on social media are unbearable at the moment, it would be great to shut them up.

Winning won't shut them up, they will just reel out every decision that went against them and call it a fix. Many are already claiming the timing of rassies punishment was a fix by the RFU.

Shame, sorry to hear. Hopefully the Boks win then you wont have to deal with the ref questioning aftermath.

No, I'm a very gracious loser and would never question the integrity of the referee or his assistants

Guess I'm just built different

TBF not everyone had someone like Steve Diamond to show them the way to respect refs

It used to be so easy back in the day of getting results from cfax now it's so hard not to get spoiled

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Spoken quite a bit about what might happen in the front row at scrum time, but the Boks will also target Curry's skills at the base, especially if we're going backwards. Curry will do his damnedest, but they'll know that it's not instinctive for him.

Getting banned for calling Wayne Barnes too fat to keep up with play is GOAT behaviour and you know it

I was thinking this morning that this is a golden opportunity for Cockerill to show his worth. This is exactly the kind of situation where I'd expect him to be able to show his influence. If he can encourage our pack to add a bit more of his belligerence and nastiness, that could be massive for us.

Aye. World's worst winners and world's worst losers. 2yrs on from the RWC final and Bok fans are still popping up to troll at any given opportunity.

Then again, the Welsh still trot out 30-3 on a regular basis …

 

[Eleutherarch]

Remember, the rancid cream always rises to the top on social media. The vocal minority always colours the perception of the group as a whole. Though there are undoubtedly a few fairweather Bok fans becoming tumescent in the pants at the notion of conspiracy, the rest of us aren't like that. We just want to see a good match and hope that we acquit ourselves well, leaving nothing on the table.

Not me - I enjoyed the win but it is done now. What happened in '19 is irrelevant in building towards '23. I care far more about test win/loss ratios. Trends are more valuable than one discrete point.

May the best team win. And I mean that.

Couldn't agree more, unfortunately though when RE behaves in the way he has it's hard to see past the fact that it's probably only a small minority.
