The Boks knock the wheels off the chariot!

On a cold autumnal afternoon the Spring Boks showed England how rugby should be played! In defence they where wall like, repeatedly blunting hard fort for good position, and twice quickly returning the length of the pitch to score a try from England's encampment on their line. Every time they entered England's 22 they seamed to simple move straight past the defence put up but a static England.

From England v SA 2008

6-42 was probably a little harsh - but reflected the apparent panic or desperation from England towards the end of the game - throwing caution to the wind with some ridiculous pass attempts - but nothing else had worked against the wall of green. If the All Blacks don't give England a similar drubbing next weekend it will be a small miracle - and might mean I need to re-think watching England live as they've lost every match I've seen at Twickenham!
