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

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

But if Eddie watched our SF he knows SA can be beaten. We should have.
England can.
England need to get tighter not looser.
Eddie spent two and a half years working out how to beat us.
He didn't have time to watch your semifinal!

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

Lol. Ok, if my auntie had wheels she’d be a bike.

@Kirwan Rugby is dying and this forward-dominated paint-drying snoozefest isn’t why
No it isn’t.

Talk about being weak minded. This is a great challenge

But what if she had three?

I'm sure you can see yourself out. Take Gus Gould with you.

Their pick and go looked good once they got in the other half , getting up that end of the field is key for them

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
The sofa still has my teeth marks in it

Did any England player chase that kick from Ford?
