June Internationals : South Africa A vs. England Saxons [1st Match] (10/06/2016)

[Which Tyler]

Cip.s standing up well in defence as well, has to be said.

What's Roko done wrong? My stream's not great, so easily possible I've missed something.

Hope Robson's ok - we've got Young on the bench!

What are you on about? Micky Young is a quality player who's one of the best 9s in the world at the moment!

Falcons bias? Where?!

Seriously though; someone give me a general round up so far?

Attwood showing why EJ preferred Lawes

Lovely off-load for Robson's chip through (and pulled Hammy) - nice try as I edit

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Finally a Kev special,

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That was suuuuuperb from Roko!

 

[j'nuh]

Kvesic kind of proving why Eddie didn't pick him ATM.

SA Loose forwards are powerful carriers.

Roko, too.

I'm starting to question everything I thought I knew about rugby.



"Cipriati"



Surely that's a yellow?
No arms and off the ball.

Kvesic turnover, Roko 80m try. I think you are both safe.

 

[Crapspray]

Kvesic turnover to Rokoduguni breakaway try.

I hope Eddie is watching.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

That is the Roko we know and love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 turnover and he still has missed 5 tackles.

 

[SomeOke]

English backs looking significantly better than ours! Depth in the back line not looking great.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

That was sick by Robson so mean.

 

[stus768]

Tbf a couple of kevs missed tackles have been due to rushing up on the outside forcing the tackler inside.

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

Robson with the try?

 

[j'nuh]

Robson looks slow, but damn those feet were good.

1 turnover and he still has missed 5 tackles.

Only got home 5 mins ago, missed that! He does look slower than normal...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Robson!
Nnniiiice

Robson looks slow, but damn those feet were good.

Not sure if you were back in time, before, but he twisted his ankle on a chip and chase a few mins ago, I think that might have something to do with it

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Furk robson injured.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Which Tyler]

Where's this being played? is it at altitude?
Just that I've noticed our speedsters seem to be going at half-pace when they get a break; Roko could just have been pacing himself to commit the FB and put the chip over, and Robson was nursing that hammy; but Haley?
Didn't know Cips had this distance on his kicks either

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hepburn mauls people in the tackle.
If he does get the hit he just throws them about.




FFS Kev, this is your chance to shine in an international environment and you're not taking it.



Christ, that half time hooter was a bit much. Sounds like the Germans are coming in for a bombing run

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

what is the commentator talking about???

Just looked it up.

The highest point in the UK is the peak of Ben Nevis. 1,344 m above sea level.

Bloemfontein is apparently 1,395m above sea level. :lol:

Caught that, probably was that. Just a lot of the players seem slow.

 

[johnmac99]

Saxons all over the Boks at the moment.

Impressed with Robson, Roko, Hepburn, Thompkins, Haley

HT SA 3-22 England
