Phenomenal performance by England yesterday. Tense as hell watching it but in reality it was very one sided. South Africa concern me. Might have been a shite game today, I only saw bits and bobs myself, but they seem to have the ability to strangle the life out of opponents and drag them down to their level as Prop Joe alluded to earlier. I think we'll win but don't think it will be the thrashing some are predicting.

I think it’s all about the level England hit. If we play like we did against NZ then South Africa won’t be able to live with it and it’ll likely be a comfortable win with South Africa probably going down to 14 or 13 men.
If we don’t hit that level it’ll be a tough game and South Africa will be hard to beat.

South Africa will need to raise their game by 30% and hope that England’s game goes down by the same amount.

I just hope we don't go out there Saturday and take on SA up front just to prove a point, I'm sure Jones won't do that.

Gatland got his final snipe in and Jones batted it back perfectly, who's out of a job Friday evening? Oh yes, that'll be Gatland.

I hope someone destroys that Robbie-Savage-like grinning twat that they have at scrum half.   What a knob head.

Faf is a wind-up merchant and a bit of a bellend but he backs it up by being one of the 4-5 best 9s in the world. Savage was never anything more than a gobby twat.

He was pretty average Sunday and was still probably the best player on the field. They missed him desperately in the Autumn test at Twickenham, he's quite a player.

Who was the massive Welsh bloke with the ginger beard? That was the best moment of the match when he grabbed that little Saffer and presumably told him to stop being a little scrote.

Beard. No, really, his name is Beard.

Are you sure?
Adam Beard came on as a replacement and hasn’t got a beard.
Unless there’s another one called Beard with a beard  ;)

Isn't this like ZZ Top, again? The only one that doesn't have a beard is called Beard. Or something like that.

Jake Ball he is.   Immortalised in a programme some months back as Jake Bollock.     I kid you not !

Yeah, it's Jake Ball in the image with Faf that's on the net.

My bad it’s Ball not Beard.
