[RWC2023 SF2] England vs South Africa (21/10/2023)

[Reiser99]

Weird to complain about that, very clearly not supporting his weight

He said, "But you didn't blow for that last week ref."

 

[Yulia]

Eng can even win this one... anyway,the difference in score won't be high,as I said before. Pretty sure in it now

 

[Reiser99]

Chase is far better today. England clearly not going to play outside the Bok 22 though.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

people forget England get it together for one game a tournament

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Sheesh, solid scrum!

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Sheesh, solid scrum!

Amazing what you can do without Mako going backwards from 'Set'

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Oh god the England World Cup squad thread is going to be insufferable after that Steward high ball

 

[TRF_Olyy]

England drank felix felicis pre-game, someone tell USADA or the Ministry of Magic or whoever

 

[ncurd]

South Africa clearly not at the races so far. Maybe the one thing that did happen that could...they thought they could just turn up.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Blatant wonky throw.

 

[Gavin]

I want England to win due to #justiceforfrance, but really can't see them competing with New Zealand in the final

It's like Sophie's Choice.

I need a breather from typing this essay on that catch

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

really not rugby values to be fist pumping a throw not straight

 

[Reiser99]

Has the criticism affected O'Keefe and he's just watching S.A a bit more closely?

It only takes one Farrell smirk at the haka and the all blacks side will crumble like England's primary school bricks are atm

 

[ncurd]

He's clearly actually reffing the ruck this week.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Are we.... accelerating into contact and fighting for ground? Is that legal?

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

gotta feel for the boks, BOK has completely changed the way he's refereed the rucks in 6 days

 

[Reiser99]

One issue I can see is that S.A can give away a penalty to kill the ball and they know England will just kick. Yes it's 3 points, but better than 5-7.

 

[saulan]

We've been really poor so far and not had any go forward momentum. Main positive is England haven't scored a try
