English players looked like they were hung over. No enthusiasm or total commitment. And I don't really believe England are as good as they believe. Based on that performance

Re: POMS VS BOKS on Saturday

Great try, but looked forward to Willie. I’m sure that will feature in Rassie’s upcoming vid. I also thought Willemse's pass was forward . Was relieved noone picked it up. I do hope Rassie highlights it You need to watch the Springboks with green blood and two eyes. https://twitter.com/PlanetRugby/...

Re: Match thread: Wales v Boks - Saturday, November 6: Millennium Stadium, Cardiff

I could be way off but I seem to recall Kriel not being all that, when picked at wing. But the way Willemse has been playing, I'd keep 'meh at wing' Kriel and chucked Fassi in at Fullback. There seems to be no logic to keep Fassi out of the side. He has had 2 opportunities and shone brightly in bot...

I just think people are understating what the Boks brought to the table. There's room for improvement for sure, but a lot of things have to go right to win those sort of games. The defence, goal kicking, tactical kicking, and composure were all outstanding for starters. Scrum was 100% on our own ba...
