They must win, but I think the Boks are just too good for the poms, and I say that with a small sense of joy in the bottom of my heart.

No arguments there - but will it happen like it should?

True

I think JAS was almost taken out in the air too which I don't think got looked at either. It was one of the highlight reels - JAS caught it in the air, and a POM made initial contact while in the air and completed tackle on the ground.

The cynic in me says either Randwick or Easts will benefit.

Yeah that's the one.

3. Ikitau 2. Wright 1. Valetini

Or where Kellaway (from memory) was taken off the ball, and even the Poms thought it would have been called, or Itoje lying all over our side of the ruck right under his nose? But yeah feels good to be able to say that after a win..,

And, funnily enough, the home media didn't show that side of the scrum when they were doing replays

Totally ripped their blitz defence apart

Gee Googs is a goose. Of course the coach isn't going to want to see us take the win in extra time. The coach wants it put away before then, and stopping the opposition grab it. Having said that, such a good win

What.A. Win. Was half expecting poms to roll all over us 20 min in, but we just hit a reset button or something, and to come from 17 points down, and keep scoring to win at the death. Best game I've watched the Wobs play at Twickenham for a long time.

It's all good he's coaching juniors etc, it's just the entitled attitude re RA and it's administration

At least he had the guts to admit he "[has] no idea about props" before commencing to spray about - a prop. There is a grain of truth there, that TT needs to do more - but these forii have said that about multiple props over the years.

Yeah you're not wrong. I just like how there's no self reflection in there, and absolutely no recognition that they game has changed since the amateur days. If Campo is bemoaning the lack of his compatriots in the set up maybe have a think about why that is.

Spoiler alert: Campo is being ignored, and doesn't like it. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/i-ve-been-cancelled-for-telling-the-truth-campese-savages-australian-rugby-20241107-p5kov3.html But gee, he loves pissing in the tent.

True, I think what I liked was his clear comms on it esp with the constant badgering from England. I also thought that there were a lot more cards/penalties for the head on head collisions (similar to the Eng v NZ game) in RC and Super Rugby this year. I could also be wrong.

Interesting that in the NZ v Eng game, AG was heard saying to the Eng captain "not every head knock is foul play" - it appears the Eng Capt had been bashing Gardiner's ear about every single head knock. Will be interesting to see if his interpretation is consistent with other refs.

I used to watch it BK (before kids), but now, not so much. It was the only way for me to watch it as down the coast.

I always liked Wayne Barnes - no nonsense ref
