Rugby Union World Cup 2019

I reckon if they could go back, they'd carry on doing what they were doing - trying to bludgeon their way through. Going wide, in that instance, was a mistake. Jonny Wilkinson explained it at HT better than I can :)

It’s not just that situation, it’s the sport as a whole. Union doesn’t understand space exploitation close the the opposition line.

Safe to say game over?

Better since the restart but looking ominous at 15-6, will be talked about as a proper bottle job if we lose.

Why were England late to the ground ?

The ref's arm is on a trigger spring - the second we have the ball his fuckin' arm springs up!

Seem to be shitting the bed this morning. Huge ("massive", even) effort needed in the last half hour now.

Save a miracle I think so.

Then again I thought we'd lost The Ashes about half a dozen times.. Before we actually did.

This referee is shocking, games should be decided by the players on the pitch, not the referee.

England are being destroyed in the scrum.

I thought with a N. Hemisphere ref we would have no bother with the scrums!

SA game plan has worked perfectly, scrum has been destroyed.
