@Transformation-123: At least FDP kicked well, Ruan kicked poorly. he was terrible against a average team, England have improved but they have a long way to go. The Aussies showed these boys up for what they are. They try the expansive thing and get caught, they need to go back to their own traditional ways.

I dont like Ruan Pienaar. Anyone seen him trying to tackle? He looks afraid

@Tbozknows-136: Charl McCleod is just as bad. He makes crucial mistakes at the most innoportune of times. I dont rate McCleod at all.

@ryecatcher-129: yep that was me - i know his defence aint great but Pienaars is equally atrocious - at least Pretorius attack will be miles better. Give me Sarel over Ruaan any day thanks.

@J.B. Cowper-134: Pienaar had a nightmare game. We need a replacement trained up. Possibe Replacements: Vermaak of the Bulls Piet Van Zyl Cheetahs Charl Mcloed. Sharks Hougaard (for me, this man is not a scrum-half, and he would have been worse than Pienaar at 9)

Lambie tried things. The team needs a bit more consistency as a unit.
They get that right then Sky’s the limit. England are not that good and it showed.

Thought Lambie wasn’t too bad – notwithstanding the kick into touch at the precise moment of the game from kick-off, was inexcusable for a test fly-half – but his place kicking, which is critictal in these conditions and with these tactics, was pretty good.

But as for Pienaar, whose talent I have supported for a long time, but no more – it looked like he was trying to lose the game for us single-handedly: just appalling execution, self-play and decision-making – he is too consistently erratic to play a position that holds so much responsibility.

The game was not a display of quality running rugby. However I think Lambie tried things at 10 of which I was impressed with his performance.

England were pumped and deserved more than they got, however it also showed how England have a long way to go. They tried to play an expansive game, which they cannot execute. They are not the Ozzies or the AB’s. The sooner they realize that the better.

@Nama1-126:

HM said, “Attack puts bums on seats, defence wins trophies”. Well at this rate, by the time we win a trophy, there’ll be no one there to see it!

True, Pienaar didn’t have a good game with the boot but our scrums were a mess. I don’t profess to be a scrum expert but the overhead cam at Twickenham gave a perfect view of what looked like extremely illegal scrumming by the England loose-head. Surely that pedantic school master of a referee could see that ?? It seemed like he walked onto the pitch determined to find something wrong with the Boks….and he’s the best the NH can supply ??
