England v South Africa

[sparky]

England missing the Vunipola brothers....

[sparky]

England kick a lot and are very, very direct.

[ShadowTrooper]

England gonna kick their way to a win,
Wierd test match really. SA not patch on what they were when they played us, and England are just so boring and predictable, trying to bring everyone down to their level. No spark or incision.

[sparky]

Another England penalty chance. Out wide, just in SA's half. Owen Farrell gives it to himself.

Misses it just. 9-8. 20 minutes to go.

[sparky]

England have some fast runners but are let down by poor passing skills.

This is almost the shitest game of rugby I’ve watched in ages except it is competing with the one on the other channel

[ShadowTrooper]

Has Itoje even handled the ball this half? Defo no attacking plays from him

[Crucial]

Meanwhile the commentators are saying what an exciting game it is

He caught a lineout

[ShadowTrooper]

@crucial Lol yeah

[Stargazer]

Glad there are still two NZ games to watch. Hoping for some entertainment from the Ferns and MABs.

[ShadowTrooper]

Whoah SA's turn to take a long range shot woo-hoo

[Crucial]

@stargazer have we worked out how to watch them?

This reminds me, we need a thread to give games a “watchability” score, without results/spoilers... so one can just check it to figure out if it's worth watching a game after the fact.
eg: I probably would have gone home after this match and watched Wales-Scotland... it sounds like I shouldn't.

I'm going to watch it via Skype with the bro-in-law in NZ.

[sparky]

Pollard hits a penalty. 9-11. This game is trench warfare.

[Crucial]

Farrell just got on the wrong side of ‘smashed him bro’

[sparky]

@crucial No Rugby team in world charges their fans more to watch them than England.

Old tits for hands strikes again
