bumpy22 Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 One of my mates is going I believe. Think the autumn test are going to be a struggle. Looking at the injuries and squad depth. Hope I am wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjpainter Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 I'm thinking of standing outside the gates on the off chance. Not for tickets, I reckon I could get a game; no one else seems fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true but to play for your country I would certainly take a whack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 With a long injury list it does mean some new talent gets a game. I am looking at this as a warm up for next weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Just watched the highlights, so crowd seemed quiet, SA made a lot of errors at the line out England seemed a bit flat in attack, but! Defence looked good, Farrell as always played a great game and kicked brilliant, thought the penalty was going to go against him at the death. How was the game in real time?

Rim Fire Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) Penalty should have gone against him his arm below the waist line when he put the hit in the ref bottled it Edited November 4, 2018 by Rim Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveveets Posted November 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 I think we were very fortunate to come away with a win yesterday and yes I agree it was a shoulder charge. Atmosphere at the game was pretty good but with so few try scoring opportunities the crowd didn't have a lot to get excited about but a win is a win!

Every one wants a win but you got to use these type of games to try players out other wise they wont get a chance and if injures happen you know you can call on a player as you say a win is a win some times it goes for you and other times it dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpy22 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 i agree with you guys did look to be a shoulder charge to me. but in all fairness i know he has a bit of edge to his game. but if i was in that pack and my outside half put a hit in like that after so many phases he would get a pat on the back.

henry d Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Played at full speed from the front and you can clearly see he was trying to rip the ball and get a turn over or scrum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveveets Posted November 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Next week's game will be a tad more difficult I expect!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retsdon Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 A scrappy game really, and one that South Africa should have won but ultimately deserved to lose. Throw away two attacking lineout balls in the opposition's 22 - especially when you have the dominant pack - and you get what you deserve. That's two games on the trot that the Boks have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory - they did the same thing against the All Blacks in Pretoria a few weeks ago. It' s getting to be a habit.

They certainly liked the hit that Ben T put in, i know i did. And i was also waiting on a drop goal from SA couldn't believe they didn't try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
