Also shows what a crap position the Aussie L/H takes up.

that is a very poor showing - the Q is is that a citing offence? I'd have thought it's "bringing the game into disrepute" at worst a without a doubt poor sportsmanship/foul play at best.

That aside - what a cracking couple of matches...

hand-off of the day to J.Davies - bloody hell that was a cracker!

Jamie George - what a nice little bit of skill

England 215 tackles vs Oz 86 yikes


Immense -
on the credit side Itoje keeping his head despite being targeted
Haskell & Robshaw (again!!) proving us all wrong (and I'm delighted to be proven wrong about H he seems to have flattered to deceive for a large part of his international career - looks like EJ has lit a rocket up his arse!)

but on the debit side -
I thought that Watson wasn't at his best today, nor was Brown
we need more fluidity with the ball in hand
the line-out malfunctioned

South Africa look awful. And I mean the absolute basics.

They had a line out and their own team didn't even jump. Let alone all the knock ons etc...

Decent win for Scotland but not enough killer instinct when they had numerical advantage.

Ireland are looking well fired up again. Enjoying this...

The stands in SA look half empty, which makes the volume of the booing at the half time whistle even more impressive!

Just seen them below. See what you mean. He does throw sand but it doesn't hit Haskell

Not sure what it would be intent of, though, as he clearly doesn't try to chuck it at Haskell. Just a bit weird really...

Looked like a combination of the Boks realising their backs were well and truly to the wall, Bok pride, and the Irish running out of steam.

Third test should be a cracker.

Just got in after ragging the arse of the Atom.

Great performance from England, especially such a young side.

Would Wales be up for a swap next weekend? We take on NZ and they take on Aus.

England have gone to 2nd in global rankings. Haven't seen that for a very long time. smile

Very impressive 1st year for Jones. Played 8 won 8.
