England finding this a struggle at the moment.
They seem to be making a lot more mistakes than last week.
Still in the game though.
If they can pick up the pace, pressurise the South Africans, they should still win this. If they don’t, they won’t.

Good phase of play by England there though. Go in even at half time and I think we'll win in a more open second half.

Looks like a scrum is going to win a World Cup after all.

I'm not a fan of Dan Cole at the best of times but having to bring him on so early is crippling us.
So many issues...

Too be expected, cut out the mistakes reduce their ability to scrum for penos. We need to stay calm on the pitch and stick at it, we can out play them.

Absolutely dreadful.
No pace, awful handling, woeful scrummaging, loads of errors, complete domination by SA.

SA are so dominant in every aspect I honestly can see where we can change things to turn this around.
Where is the spark going to come from ?
Thank goodness Pollard missed one of the penalties or things would be even worse.

Dan Cole in the scrums is a liability.
Sinkler is a big loss.

Knowing Eddie I think Slade on for Ford will happen quite quickly. Not saying that's what should happen but Ford tends to come off early when we're not playing well.
And I know I'm going to sound like Jack Nowell 'fanboy' but he should be on the bench. Even Cokanisinga if you consider the size of their team.

Early days, yet, but apart from their scrum half giving away a penalty and field position, South Africa were pretty dominant. That error led to the 25 phase attack for England.
Pressure causes mistakes, and if South Africa can keep pressuring England in their half, the mistakes will keep happening.
It's not great to watch, but it's very effective.

Turning point that Farrell miss, should've been 3 point difference and now it's 9.
These South Africans are fucking horrible to watch, only interested in penalties.
