Am really looking forward to the Ireland v All Blacks game this evening. Hope that it is an absolute cracker. Would prefer the All Blacks to win

Decent Back Row on your bench for the weekend

Kolisi, PSDT and Wiese… it’s better than average

You would not want to face that with tired legs 60 minutes in

A forward pack and bench suggests they are scared of our forwards, weirdly. Our strength is our backs.

Sounds like you guys want to starve us of ball and set piece us to death.

Good win for the All Blacks in some awful conditions.

Our backs are happy without the ball.

Think we should have enough to beat Scotland.

Cracking game, just a shame we made too many handling errors.

And missed too many tackles.

Very enjoyable game and result. Always nice to see England snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

And missed too many tackles.

For whatever reason that Felix left the England set up, they were travelling in a good direction with the defense. Chopping and changing the system will no doubt bring in errors in positioning but actually physically missing tackles is unacceptable

This new shepherding/running lines trial on the high kicks is a load of bollocks. Brought in to try and lessen the amount of box kicking. The retreating players are on a hiding to nothing. They have to retreat but they can’t be in any of the attacking teams way. One of those things that is having a massively unintended consequence.

South Africans are absolute units

Wrong decision on that yellow for me.

That wasn’t a yellow for me. How it became a red is beyond me. Its like momsnet are policing the game.

Springboks were woeful tonight but still had the game to win.

Was a decent game, think this new 20min red card is a good thing, we would of got completely steamrolled if we had to play a man down for the rest of the match.

Agreed. Great change to the rules. Cannot fathom why the French RF is against it.

That should be it for Borthwick, clueless

Please keep him

Another win for the Boks over England. Properly physical match that.
