It's the sort of thing I'd not expect many people to pick up but the drift and draw from Smith before he put Earl through was exceptional. It's like 2-3 steps but it created the space for us to score.

Well done Dan, cocked up and made amends.

Yep, considering he's a hooker that's a fantastic charge down. He's gotta be a regular starter before long, George has been on the downward slope for a couple of years now.

Ben Youngs is having the sort of impact I always expect from him...

Following the big step forward last week this has been pretty poor tonight. Summed up by Tuilagi going off and choosing the bring on Ford instead of Lawrence to replace him, leading to 10minutes of utter Blues from England who looked like they had no idea how to approach the game without a battering ram in midfield.

If you’d had offered me a bronze medal before the World Cup I’d have been delighted. They’ve done well to get it, but the build has to start now.

Well done to England, did much better than expected.

Now go the AB's.

Major risk by Erasmus in not having a reserve scrum half in the 23

Particularly when the one he has picked has the most punchable face in rugby….worth 10 minutes sit down for the All Blacks to clatter him

He’ll probably cheat his way to get one in, if needed 🤔

Have a feeling that New Zealand might just shade it, but I hope South Africa win tonight.

I thought it looked like SAs to lose when I saw the teams/benches. The only thing that potentially changes it for me is an injury/booking for faf.

I don't think NZ have it in them to handle this degree of physicality, which is how they lost to France as well.
