After the treat that was Saturday’s matches, here’s two more to keep the couch full!
Can Fiji, everyone’s 2nd team it seems, perform the miracle vs an England team that are building and learning to do what it takes and win ugly? England did the drop goal game already in the Velodrome, will we see some more here?
Will the hosts be able to overcome the mighty Springbok defense and keep alive the northern hemisphere hopes? Will SA have brought their kicking boots and can french flair find room to maneuver?
All too close to call imo, the bookies always inflate England: these are going to the 80’!
I’m thinking the only way to play with that kind of chaos and flair at the pace we saw tonight is to base it on a foundation of the kind of well drilled precision we saw last night. So maybe these two teams are a level above IRL and NZ.
Or maybe they’re all four about the same level and it was just different game plans. Last night’s was “keep possession” and tonight’s was “get their defence scrambling”
