Springboks prop Dreyer heads home to Super Rugby after lacklustre Gloucester spell

I tell you what though, the head knock from Kriel on Hugh jones in the wc that didn’t result in any card was a real mystery with the way things are now.

Also suspect the Boks will be pretty well motivated by glasgows antics in stellenbosch last week and loftus in June…

Should be a cracker hopefully!

That said, six day turn around and BB missing ain’t the best…

It would be hilarious.

But seriously though. I wonder who the RFU are looking at to replace Borthwick in December.

There are slim pickings I guess. I reckon it will have to be an Englishman?

I wonder what the French have lined up. Something about the ABs mothers. That’ll get them really riled up for sure.

The B team will play England. 👀💩

I often hear talk about NZ players being poisoned or similar nonsense during the 1995 final. NZ boast that they are 'superstars' and 'humble heroes' on their own website. You gave England the same treatment in 2002-2003, calling them arrogant just because they beat you. They told the rest of us then what you were like, we should have listened. I would give as much credence to a NZ supporter disliking us, as I would to Krusty the clown saying the same thing. Let's just say your judgement may not be the best.

Regarding 2016, as the referee had basically let NZ away with cheating their way to victory via filthy dangerous play and fouling he was hardly going to pull Sexton up when clearly trying to stop a grounding. NZ always leave the boot or arm in to hurt a try scorer but that seems to be invisible to you entitles lot.

BTW NZ have literally being whinging and crying about Ireland since Soldier field. You are just very bad losers. We will be delighted to be shot of you on Friday. I hope we do so with a win, so that you rethink your philosophy of mocking opponents and spectators you've just beaten.

After the match last Saturday the internet was full of Kiwi supporters basically abusing English folk. Where is your national honour? Where is your national integrity?

The Autumn internationals (or 'year-end' tours) have never been about winning at all costs rather more about putting fringe players and new game plans to the test. There's plenty for Borthwick to work on but with a plethora of top rated players now available to England the 6N is the immediate target.

1. Ioane's behaviour to the Irish crowd is also misconduct under the same rule that Sexton got sanctioned.

2. An Irish player guilty of historical misconduct is not mitigation for NZ abusing Irish supporters, captain, vice captain. Should Irish players start slapping NZ players around because two of them are associated with Domestic Violence?

3 Humble teams don't mock beaten opponents. Arrogant teams do.

4 No apology or contrition for any of this by NZ.

One thing, why are we policing the chasing lanes? Why encourage high ball kicking? Sometimes a chasing player may do something brilliant but it's mostly an easy way to move the ball and I'd prefer it was discouraged.
