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'!
Tbe NH folding the story for me. Really thought the 6n had turned a corner, alas
In fairness ireland and France could easily have won their games.
By “easily” I mean it didn’t take a hugely different set of circumstances, such as a ref decision, bounce charged down conversion etc.
Both of those games were won on the finest of margins, and it just so happened that it was the SH teams that won both. Replay both those games ten times and I reckon you get like five wins apiece or whatever
