panoma1 Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) Simplistically, a team can only play as well as the opposition let them! England stopped the All Blacks playing their game and the All Blacks couldn’t stop England playing theirs....Wales couldn't stop the All Blacks playing their game and the All Blacks pretty much stopped Wales playing theirs!.........Which means we shouldn't underestimate the Springboks! They could stop England (no matter how good England looked against the All Blacks) playing their game....and England may not be able to stop the Springboks (however they played against Wales) playing theirs?

A lot of truth there, but I think England know how to win in a variety of ways. The Springboks only know one way. We'll have to wait and see. I think what will frustrate Wales about today was they had a real opportunity to beat NZ. They were not at their best by any means, misplaced lineouts, knocks on, errant passes, but at no point did it look like Wales could sufficiently capitalise. Comfortably fourth out of the semi-finalists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 I saw the last half an hour, it looked to me like two teams that didn't want to be there really, can't blame them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not simplistic at all - Sometimes you just ain't firing on all cylinders for no particular reason and other days it all comes together and you're on top of the world. England for the win - 80 minutes of cool heads, accurate arms, strong legs and a very fair wind. Bring it home chaps!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Will there be an kicking battle between the two sides? Who will win? Boks trying to win route one and England out wide? Who cares, bring it on, bring it home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boks trying to win route one and England out wide? Who cares, bring it on, bring it home! I think SA's best (possibly only) chance to win is keep it tight, make it physical and grind out scores through penalties or kicks to touch from pens. If it's a kicking game, I think with Ford on the pitch, England are better. if it's wide and fast paced, England are better. And I still think we can match them with the heavies. All words though! less than 11 hours to find out for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltings Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 should be good sport , a good solid game hopefully on the edge of our seats to the end cant wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 Jerome Garces is the ref and has been allowing games to flow more, will that assist England/SA or just a good flowing game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely England. SA want penalties, slow breakdown and anything to stop England building up a head of steam. Come on England! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 Everyone up, kids fed, England tops on Come on!! I don't think or hope SA can match us, so as we keep our cool, don't give penalties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
