Insane test in Jo’burg. England took an early 3-24 lead and will go in at half time 29-27 down. The comedy selection of Brown on the wing and Daly at full back reaped attacking rewards initially but has been found out massively since.

Finished 42-39. Calmed down a little in second half but not much. South Africa really should have locked it up more comfortably but they were a bit naive and awry in the execution, no surprise for an inexperienced side.
England fought like hell in the last ten minutes (much of it with 14 men) and but for a SA line out steal in the last minute could have won it. Nutzoid stuff.

The team that Washington is getting in Major League Rugby next year has already ruled out Audi Field for being too big for them.

Ah, of course. Found the final thirty minutes on ITV4 over here in the end.
Good to see the Baby Blacks out, they and the senior team have been indulging in their usual unpunished cheap-shotting scumbaggery in the last week and were carrying it on tonight.Last edited by Ray de Galles; 12-06-2018, 21:49.

Article about a podcast about USA Rugby (link to podcast in there as well. I've not listened to it yet but looks interesting. I saw it because a guy involved in handball in the USA sees similarities between the governance in the US.
ANd this link gives a bit more backgroundLast edited by Levin; 12-06-2018, 22:32.

Wales: Hallam Amos; Josh Adams, Scott Williams, Owen Watkin, George North; Rhys Patchell, Aled Davies; Rob Evans, Ryan Elias, Tomas Francis, Adam Beard, Cory Hill (capt), Ellis Jenkins, James Davies, Ross Moriarty.
Replacements: Elliott Dee, Nicky Smith, Dillon Lewis, Bradley Davies, Josh Turnbull, Tomos Williams, Gareth Anscombe, Tom Prydie.
Five changes, one is injury enforced, for Wales in the second test against Argentina. The surprise is two open sides but seeing as both were named as man of the match in their last tests it's no surprise especially as Seb Davies never get the ball in hand.

On the ipad while Croatia v Nigeria is on the telly. Kept an eye on South Africa beating England earlier, the hosts were absolutely ferocious in every element of their game all match.Last edited by Ray de Galles; 16-06-2018, 19:59.
