Underhill ruled out of third Test against Australia

The English are going to kick everything all night. I think the boks are going to go direct. Tonyball to close the season.

Fast forward to the following week, come 60mins or so Smith gets moved to 15 the boos and groans i believe were directed more at Borthwick than Ford but the end result was the same a poor pass in midfield led to an intercept, once again i was left fuming at the insanity.

Now this week the team is slightly different but with more of a defensive angle but i believe the end result will be the same, part of me worries that if we do by some miracle nick this it will only paper over the cracks as it is looking more and more that the coaching team is not up to the job and out of their depth at test level.

Weather dependent I guess - but I see a try fest coming.

If the wallabies can score 5 tries through that English defence, you can bet the boks can too.

The big difference though is that, unlike the wallabies, the boks won’t let 5 tries through quite as easily.

So that’s 35 points already. Shave off 3 conversions by Manie to be fair… 29 points.

See. Easy.

as you'll be known from now on..

I know tampons are expensive up there in Sligo, but just improvise, may you could use some of your least favorite g-strings.?

Argentina has a superb flyhalf - and I think if he has another man of the match performance, Argentina win. Slender margin. 3 points. But an historic win nonetheless.

Go Los Pumas.

Consider the defence of the English. Leaking like a sieve. There is no cohesiveness in that team. They play more alone out there than a team. Now consider the Boks defence, who is by the way the team who has leaked the least tries and points this year of any team. Add to that the Boks attack, who have scored the most tries of any other team this year. One of the worst defensive and attacking teams currently vs the best defensive and attacking team this year.

The English leaked 42 points against the Wallabies who was walloped by the Boks. It's never going to be a close game. The Boks chose their best team out of those not injured, who is in extremely good form. What has the English done to convince you they can pull it off?

There’s also a bit of an itch to scratch - a dominant win in front of their home crowd, against a top team.

Despite the fact the winning teams are the ones who keep the same bunch , Borthwick has yet again changed the team for this weekend.

If they get hammered, then I trust he resigns .

It's not. It's wishful thinking that won't be the case. However, I will agree with you on the coaching. It's a very badly coached team, and personally I feel that is not the best English players. There is many better players than current English players, but Borthwick doesn't choose the best players, he choose his favourites. Even Eddie Jones did better than Borthwick. He had like 73% win rate? Borthwick have about 50% or less? They can try and make it as ugly as possible, but there is no way out. A hiding is coming and it will be Borthwick's fault. The Boks rush defense is excellent, the English rush defense is stuttering.

They aren't even using inside information on the Boks via Felix Jones who was with the Boks a very long time. Double WC winner with the Boks. How come he stayed with the Boks and not the English setup? There is more problems in that camp than what they tell the public. Hope all you want, but don't be surprised at the result.
