      A full days cricket and not one post?

      I guess nobody is all that interested in test cricket any more.

      While the batsmen are in, let them bat. There are still well over 2 days to go, so no real hurry. Declaring at drinks or so in the last session should give a good lead and plenty of time to bowl at them.

      If that were true I would agree. Unfortunately this is day 4.

      We should be looking to up the scoring rate now. Declare just after lunch, hopefully with a 150 - 180 Run lead.

      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.

      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.
