@bryce_in_oz(bryce_in_oz)-11: 6 games where there were a number of changes: Morgan for Dowson, Dickson for Youngs, Farrell for Hodgson and Tuliagi for Barritt is hardly a settled side. This is one of the least experienced sides in English history. The players Meyer will select will probably have played together more times as Test players than the English side.

This tip tackle really wasn’t so bad. He lifted Danny Care up beyond 90 degrees, but he certainly didn’t drop or drive him into the ground. The IRB are going soft in the head on this rule.

@grant10(grant100)-3: Then fck off already. You're depriving some deserving youngster of a decent job at MacDonalds.

@hib04bs(hib04bs)-10: This English side has had 5 (plus Baabaas) games together with the only loss coming against the 6N champs and then going on to beat France and smash Ireland... The Boks are going into the first test never having played together as a unit...

@bryce_in_oz(bryce_in_oz)-1: This is far from a settled side. It's one of the least experienced and youngest sides in English history.

@rossoneri(rossoneri)-7:

Food for thought – if Courtney Lawes passed the ball to his outside on the overlap, England would have beaten Wales and would have won the 6N.

The passage of play I refer to eventually resulted in the ball being ripped from Lawes and resulted in Jonathan Davies’ try.

The English are a very good team.

Sure, they might be rebuilding, but so are the Boks…

I’m sorry. The Poms are not looking impressive to me at all. I honestly do not think that Meyer needs to lose sleep about this tour. Tired Boks to win 3 – 0. Seriously.

Tuilagi Jr will get away with it, those PIs almost always managed to
Look no further than the PI who ‘coconutted’ Mvovo few weeks ago

Would be a relief for some… but disappointing for mine… nothing better than beating a settled Pom side with a make-shift Bok side… much like what JW did against arguably one of the strongest IRE sides of their time in 2004…
