The boys have done well to cut the score even to this much
waldrom doing really well. that's what we need.
flood had to try to support there. judst get in.
Waldrom was great on Wednesday if you saw the mid week game
BRILLIANT
We might not have Johnson, but weve got corbisierp and waldrom
We brought Palmer on who i reckon is twice the player Botha or Parling are....Lawes is better still
Typical ref guess at the scrum...tighthead bound on Corbs arm so he collapsed.....justice done with the penalty miss.
Blimey what a comeback, can we keep it up?
We kicked it yet again when we should have run it...and thats what happens...still brilliant effort second half
Just like to say....Morne Steyne that is missing his kicks = a South African bloke in a Bok shirt standing around in a field
that guy dickson shouldnt be near an england shirt.
What a weird game this has been, if only it hadnt been for those first 20 mins
what a great test match.
none of the england guys will forget that one in a hurry.
What a spectacle. SA won the game but England won the second half. These 2 teams are gonna be the ones to beat in the next world cup. A lot of young players from both sides showing promise. At the end of the day rugby was the winner.
Proud of the lads today, if we had Corbs, Lawes, Palmer and Croft it may have been a different series. Happy to see Youngs/Flood again as I feel it is our best half-back combination.

=======================
I'll happy defer to your better judgment, but I personally wouldnt see croft and lawes doing much in terms of standing up to that sort of ferocious intensity.
That guy wladrom might not be what you need for a six nations game at twickenham, but in a game like today youve got to trade off the lower skill level for the intensity that a unit like that can bring to get the team into the game imo. not that they are in the same position as waldrom, but i couldnt see croft of lawes being able to bring that.
Courtney Lawes and Tom Croft are influential players
Lawes certainly would have beefed us up and Croft has that pace on hard grounds would have given SA huge problems IMO
Alex Cobisiero was brilliant, Palmer excellent criminal Danny Care wasn't even on the bench he would have caused SA problems huge mistake not putting him
On the bench
criminal Danny Care
==============
I think it's a bit harsh to call him that
Tom Wood, Nick Easter if he had guys like that we certainly would have matched them up front
