Second pass forward I think??

That was the view of many.

I still think it looked forward from the hands, but probably not enough to overturn. I haven’t rewatched the game yet though.

Watching on TV I thought it looked forward. I think it wasn't overturned because Garces told the TMO it was a try? Either way I am glad it did not decide the final

They only showed the one angle.

This was the time for Ben Skeen to shine and he didn't come through. I thought it was forward live, and on the replay they showed.

I would have been happy to be corrected by another angle but they didn't show another one.

Goes to show back to back performances are tough. We couldn’t back up our Irish win, and England had the same problem

I think having an easy quarter and possibly semi is a massive help

Our mistake was beating the Boks in the first game.

Oh well, thems the breaks sometimes. They were excellent tonight.

Second pass forward I think??

I think that was a bad option. Low percentage chance of kicking that. Better to move downfield and wait for a better chance.

Why didn't ref keep playing. England might have scored a try from that scrum breakup. All Bok forwards were out of play.

Have we ever seen a more dominant scrum in a tier 1 high level game?

Italy v Wyatt Crockett

Italy should have been PKed off the park though, so not sure it counts.

Who is the defence coach for the Boks? They really have been dominant.

Who's their scrum coach?

How crap are England? Or how good Boks? Have we ever seen a more dominant scrum in a tier 1 high level game?

Aus v England a few years ago from memory.

Wonder what the odds are of Eddie taking a page out of the Italian's playbook and stitching up uncontested scrums?

That would be pretty smart, only one prop away

Cole to cop an injury? Does test rugby play man off? (I.E. the team that forces uncontested has to play with 14 players)?

The match is fine. Tough stuff can be gripping. I am enjoying it.

Feel sick that we aren't in it though. Shows how really poor we were last week.

If Boks scrum keeps dominance itnis hard to see how they lose.
