As soon as i saw Eddie Jones refuse to sit down and pacing up and down the coach's booth with that walkie talkie in his hand i looked at my friend like :francis:

Edit : George Gragan always talks about how Eddie Jones doesn't sleep and is the most meticulous coach he ever worked under, Jones is a madman brehs, i know him very well from his Australia days.

Do you remember what Sbu Nkosi(14) and Aphiwe Dyantyi (11) did to May and Watson here in South Africa, English have zero X Factor, tackling can be taught, Wade has natural X Factor and that low explosive center of gravity... I find that insane that he wasn't picked, especially with the current crop of English wingers.

England are trying to play a POWER game. They can outmuscle most teams, but South Africa can sustain that intensity for 80 minutes, bok bench is as scary as the starting front 8. To beat the Boks England would need a Cipriani, Wade type players to give them the creative around 60 minute mark when Kitschoff, Snyman, Malcolm Marx,Frans Lou etc come on, not Watson, May, Farrell types.

A guy like Underhill is a beast but everything Undehill can do Pieter Steph Du Toit can match or better

That's why i belive England can beat New Zealand or South Africa in a one off, what they don't have the ability to do is beat New Zealand one week and pop up a week later and beat the Boks. They don't have enough muscle or creativity, it'd far better for them if they were playing Wales and simply had to worry about either Boks or All Blacks, not both in 7 days.

If England had the same pack they do now but had that scrum half from Saracens, Wade and Cipriani in their match 22 I'd be shytting myself




(i know I'm disregarding Wales but fukk it

fukk brehs it's up to the Boks to restore worlds order...only thing worse than All Blacks triplet is England having the same number of World Cups as us. :francis:



I was at a sports bar in Cape Town and every South African was staring into space thinking of how we can beat England:francis:..... Not even thinking bowt Wales :mjlol:




Can we take time to also focus on how terrible and disrespectful New Zealand were, like how the fukk do you run the ball from your 22m line with Curry and Underhill hunting and wrecking your rucks:mjtf:


I couldn't belive how insistent NZ were on this "running from anywhere" approach, by the 50th minute it was dead apparent that England were a world class side and had an airtight defense to be exposed that easily, but NZ persisted with the disrespect and most of England's points came from turnover ball and All Blacks fukking up in their own territory, instead of respecting the opposition and occasion and kicking for territory.

England were immense BUT this was the worst tactical display I've ever seen from the All Blacks, ever.

To make things worse All Blacks are famous for trying something and abandoning that tactic if it doesn't work, the way they tried to force the issue and were being driven back in the tackle was just astonishing :what:

Breh kick for territory (up and under or for touch)... This is England not Ireland :patrice::mjtf:

I feel nothing for New Zealand, England are obviously amazing and performed at their peak level but for me the nerve of New Zealand to play a world cup semi final like they're playing the Barbarians at Twickenham was and is shockingly delusional.

Worse thing for them was playing and beating the boks in the first match. They were clearly feeling themselves too much. Nevertheless England bossed them and put foot to ass. :francis:

Is that the game where Willie Le Roux passed the ball to Kolbe's laces with the try line beckoning:francis:





Ironically i truly feel that one of the biggest factors (IF we beat Wales :mjlol:) is gonna be Chesllin Kolbe in the final. One of the few players who could well and truly spazz:wow:


But first Wales :sadcam:..... I hate Warren Garland/ and all his predictable Warrenball hard to beat ass teams so much :mjcry:

shyt is simple and effective:mjcry:

How would England attack with their bench, i don't know their fringe players but it seems to me their best back line players are the ones starting and everyone else who could

I like all your predictions breh.. I bow down to your wisdom:russ:

Law of averages

It was very hard for NZ to do the treble. In all sports it's hard to do a treble, but 3 WC wins over 8 years, almost impossible. And England along with SA have played them the hardest in recent times.

I'm more surprised at England giving NZ absolutely nothing. It felt like NZ were Italy in the 6 nations, that's how bad they were, shyt I cannot even remember us having to do a try line stand vs them. And who can say that when they play NZ.

Me and my breh were like NZ going to turn it up in the last 10 and wow nothing happened. :wow:
