The team four years ago were favourites to win the whole thing weren't they? If this team get to the final it will be more akin to 2007 when we were pretty useless but did enough to get there. Can't see it sadly.

[Risso]

Decent enough start though. Mitchell has done well.

[Scovilla]

England are reaĺly up to the job so far..Good start.

Farrell is letting us down so far, gifted them 3 points by being a twat.

[Risso]

What a wanker.

[paul_e]

Oh my, that from Lawes to win in back in the build up for the 3rd penalty was special.

[paul_e]

great first half, Mitchell, Lawes and Earl have been exceptional. Farrell needs to learn when to shut the fuck up and Vunipola needs to be a lot more switched on if he comes on permanently later.

What's really impressive is that we're here on the strength of our kicking game, breakdown work and set piece, that's a kick in the balls for SA who build their game around those elements.

[PaulWinch again]

It’s been a brilliant half - the question is can we sustain the physicality and limit the mistakes. They will come back at us.

I'm still pissed at Farrell, a try+ lead would have been exactly what we deserved.

[PaulWinch again]

We need to hit them hard after half time to really hit their morale.

Bar a shit throw from George the first 5 have been spot on.

Two shit throws

[paul_e]

The 2nd one was so poor I'd have sent Dan out to warm-up immediately after it.

[Meanwood Villa]

Started well but getting basics wrong is costing us
