How on earth has Garces been given the SA v Wales game? He’s about as useful as Anne Franks drum kit.

I cannot believe in my 36 years I've never heard that. So getting used!!

I've notied that the ref can stop the clock. Why not stop the clock on scrums and kicks? Far too much time is wasted on these. I'll bet the actual playing time is only about 40 mins of the 80.

I doubt if the players in any sport are fit enough to play for the full time period. In footy the ball is in play for about 60 minutes out of the 90. Rugby is probably similar.
There are discussions going on in footy to change to 30m a half, but 30m of the ball in play. This would cut out time wasting, as the clock would be stopped. Not sure it will ever get any traction though.

Kicks must be taken within 1 minute, though that must be being pushed for some. I'd like to see a 'countdown clock' used to speed that up! I don't have an issue with scrum time, as Ref can penalise timewastting activities.

I can’t understand why the hell the ref can’t stop the clock in football. Makes rock all sense to add time at the end of the game which is subjective and controversial.
Hooter at 90 and the game ends when the ball goes dead. Simple

Looks like England have learnt about about ball handling from the Japanese team...... may even be worth watching now. 
Despite the ridiculous 'over-singing' of Queenie's Song & some rather childish responses to the Hakka.

He does... it's on his wrist & he decides the amount of additional time & may add even more as that is a minimum.

Have you ever seen an England team dominate so much yet have very little to show for it so far.
Some poor kicking and losing it in the break down might come back to bite us.

I think the commentators call on the All Blacks is spot on - Scruffy!

Stunning first half from England, lets hope they can last 80 minutes at that pace as theyre going to need to, will be a different NZ second half youd expect

Been good so far, but a long way to go, and NZ can't be this poor the whole game.

The official clock that everyone can see Dave. Like rugby. Not one where he adjusts per how he feels
