Well, it was always going to be tough to escape from the Group of Death but we were well and truly put in our place by South Africa yesterday. On the very rare occasions the "most attacking team in the world" (that's Scotland btw) visited the SA 22 (always via a kick giving us a lineout), we were back defending again as soon as the ball was thrown - SIX lost lineouts out of 6 = 100% failure rate. Pathetic - but SA were a class apart if we are honest and are favourites for the trophy in my opinion. Now we need to beat Ireland and score dozens of tries in the other games (Ireland scored 82 points on Saturday against Romania ffs).
Oh well, there's always the football to keep us entertained...

Didnβt help that the ref and Tom ignored the head tackle in the first min which should have seen Sth Africa reduced to 14, no difference to the English boys red the day before.
But with the draw being done 3 years ago it was always a tall order having seeds 1 and 2 in our pool even though we are 5th! Meanwhile England who are terrible should coast to the semis!!
