JennyMorgan Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 England was beaten by a clearly better team that was both stronger and more skillful. Seemed to be less flab amongst the Springboks too! Sad for England, impressed by South Africa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Very sad but SA were the better team, Situation made worse by having to endure having the BBC's multicultural liberalism rammed down my throat at every opportunity both pre and post-match. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrumpyCheddar Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Awful game... Was not impressed at 63 minute... A Right hook punch by SA player into Our player... If I saw it clear of day why didn’t TMO say to the Ref... Eddie goofed up on keeping last weeks team in... He should of played the format when we played Australia.... He should of seen that SA had a strong defence from other games... We nearly had this World Cup in the bag... we played fantastic all the way through getting stronger and stronger... Then today’s game was Awful.. Then 2nd half last 20 mins... What can I say.. Basically giving it away... Absolutely gutted... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 As usual, England thought they only had to turn up to win because we invented the game. It's the same old story with All English international teams. One day, they may realise you have to play Better than your opponents to win tournaments. To be able to win, first you've got to "want to win", not rely on your own ego's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 No words really,they overpowered us,poor passing .South Africa were the better team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetChugger Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 And New Zealand managed to beat The British Lions in the proper form of the game! Other nations do seem to have got our sporting measure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polly Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Disappointing. SA were able to gain repeated penalties from our weaker scrum. Given that this was a foreseen risk, maybe not enough was done in setting up a response. Strength trumped elegance in todays match. Of course the early concussion didn't help.

Paul Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 It has become England's style of game play to have dynamic, mobile forwards who are excellent at breaking the gain line, carrying the ball etc but the downside is they are not so good in the scrummage or at the breakdown and that was where today's game was won and lost. No matter how dynamic your forwards are if you cannot create a platform then you can't play and England never had that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetChugger Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Whoever creates the most penalties wins ... South Africa could have won that game without scoring a try! Wow! Exciting stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
