[November Tests 2016 EOYT] England vs. South Africa (12/11/2016)

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Bit embarrassing that both our debutants are foreign internationals (as in already played internationally for another country).

Even worse is both are meh.

 

[SomeOke]

Not taking anything away from England but these players and coach is a disgrace to the Springbok jersey , i feel ashamed to be a springbok supporter we have the talent but we pick players like DDA and Whitely to name a few what happened to our rugby ?! Every record we have being broken , we are just there to fill the fixtures at the moment .

We were just beaten by the better team. No other way to discribe it DDA and Whiteley were actually pretty good today. Beaten by the better team. England take a bow you are a class outfit!

 

[Ospervat]

Did somebody say England by 15?

 

[Aristodemus]

I agree on Binny, SA couldn't handle him at all.

Bit disappointed by the performance tbh, let's just hope we can build on it.

England won that game with a Vunipola headbutt on Etsebeth.

Until that point, they were second best at the rucks, the scrums, the maul, the penalty count and the scoreboard.

i disagree , Warren was nowhere and DDA a bashing ram , yes we were beaten by a better team , we are a proud rugby nation and should put up a much better fight no matter who we play

Ermm you mean when Eben headbutted Billy.

Where do all these trolls come from? Obviously eben Etzebeth would have stopped all 4 of England's tries. trolling since 2012 too, seriously do you even have a life?

lol maybe, either way SA disintegrated after that. I'm glad England won though, the Eddie Jones show rolls on.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Yarde, Wood, Hughes and Brown were quite poor. Ford did well but needed someone -anyone - to actually look like they wanted to receive a pass so he kicked a bunch instead. TIme to find a new captain.

God only knows what was happening at the end, albeit it didn't matter.

I do wonder why people talk so much dross on Internet forums. I assume you are bullied at some point, that's why you feel the need to troll on here.

It makes me laugh though so carry on your pathetic life and entertain us real rugby fans while you figure out the difference between a ruck and a maul.

De Koch pushed Binny into Etsebeth who took the full force of Binnys head in his face. I hope he's OK and recovers soon.

Our second best, poor, one dimensional side managed to just scrape a win over a far superior side. Lucky us, eh!

So what you are saying is South Africa doesn't have the depth to deal with one missing player. Speaking of missing players, what is Etzebeth to a God?

 

[TommiG88]

Good win, a bit of dead wood needs shifting though.

Brown is passed it for starters.

Brown, poor?????? You must have watched a different game to me.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Nah I thought Brown was poor aswell.

SA actually already have a lot of players out but Etsebeth brings an irreplaceable physical edge SA needed today. There is little doubt his injury was a key point in the match, the penalty count had built against England and their scrum was up the left.

Itoje is good but also a bit overhyped based on club form, Kruis was the better of the two test locks this year.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

More like Itoje is amazing and a god amongst men.


I mean he is soo good he can rock an 90's haircut and still be amazing.

 

[j'nuh]

Seriously though, the flow of a test match changes all the way through a game. England were always going to have a good run in the match, and they got more out of their run than South Africa did with theirs. It has nothing to do with injuries, it's that England were far more threatening ball-in-hand and took more points when in the South African 22.

 

[johnmac99]

You're wrong as well, then.
