Re: South African Rugby
Fabulous try by England after the Boks had taken the lead for the first time in the match!!!
Re: South African Rugby
Delighted England won that.

Re: South African Rugby
FT: 27-26. Well done, England. 2 points down with as many minutes to go and they threw caution to the wind, ran the ball, got a peno out of it. Excellent result!
Re: South African Rugby
Just relieved that Ireland never has to play a game with Brace as ref.
He's going to be reffing one of Leinster's next two games though, isn't he?

Look out Itchy, he's Irish
Re: South African Rugby
Am I right in thinking that the last penalty to England should have been reversed?
Lawes had been substituted and encroached onto the pitch and got involved in pushing and shoving. Etzebeth asked Brace about it but Brace ignored him.

Re: South African Rugby
It was, pun firmly intended, lawless at that stage.
Re: South African Rugby
Not sure why eztebeth threw that pass out after his break late in the the game, he should have just run right over that that England full back
If Pollard had his kicking boots the boks win that with ease, unusual to see an England pack dominated so much especially at home , but credit to them they looked really dangerous ball in hand and dug in despite taking a pasting up front
I would still put France and Ireland ahead of them for 6 nations winners though

Re: South African Rugby
England's front row are piss poor. They are going to be dominated up front unless they find a better one.JB1973 wrote: ↑November 22nd, 2021, 11:15 am Not sure why eztebeth threw that pass out after his break late in the the game, he should have just run right over that that England full back

Re: South African Rugby
interesting article. Good insight into how they assess individuals vs their position, roles in that position etc. but not much given away about the Bok gameplan and what the coaches really value for example in an outhalf, and how it all fits together to make a team be better than the sum of its parts. I'm sure Faz and any international (or professional coach at club level) assess players vs what the coach views as the key requirements, and gives them feedback on where they are strong, and where improvements can be made.hugonaut wrote: ↑July 6th, 2022, 12:54 pm Very interesting article on Nienaber's selection practices:
