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

    Hard to see how they won't keep dominance, with Kitshoff, Koch and Snyman to come off the bench and Cole going to tire!

    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)?

    South Africa have two fresh scrummaging props on the bench as well

    The way the All Blacks play is what the market wants to see. This is a dud product.

    We won a WC 8-7 so I wouldn’t go too far down that line. Rugby can be trench warfare and be exciting

    It wasn't exciting at all. Fucking sucked. I thought I was going to die

    2005 Brian O'Driscoll is that you?

    Don't you repress my right to identify as a whining Irish fluffybunny

    I could've doid!

    But if Eddie watched our SF he knows SA can be beaten. We should have.

    England can.

    England need to get tighter not looser.

    @sparky Yes. To you rugby tragics, trench warfare is great. For 80% of the viewing public, they want to see ball movement, sweeping backline moves and tries.

    one prop

    Within the rules so yes, smart, but not good for the game, needs tinkering IMO.

    SA played within themselves and did enough to win against you. Always in control

    Dunno, but I think they'd do better with 14 and uncontested scrums, than what they're doing ATM

    I disagree that’s what rugby fans want. That’s what you want.

    @NTA At least NRL respects the offside line. This is boring

    Eddie spent two and a half years working out how to beat us.

    He didn't have time to watch your semifinal! 🙂

    To you, maybe. To millions others it’s a titanic battle.

    SA played within themselves and did enough to win against you. Always in control

    And yet we should have been going in to the last two minutes 19-16 ahead.

    England are better than Wales.

    Go back to basics. Pick & go. Commit and tire the Boks.

    Boks will give away penalties.

    Kick for territory.

    England win.

    It's not rocket science.
