Yes absolutely 👍 😁
Go to commentsTight match a few points:
-England are badly missing Felix Jones. This one was very winnable. Tactics were clueless at the end
-Andrew Brace chickened out of a yellow for SA at the end. SA brought down a driving Maul approaching the SA line. That is a yellow. No ifs no buts. He said to SA "Dont think I wont give you a yellow just because youve a man already in the bin". But that's EXACTLY what you were doing Bracey. England 9point deficit versus 13 and a penalty deep in the SA 22 is a likely winning position. Brace didn't give a yellow because SA already had a man in the bin.
-England are not bad but they need an expert with the analytical capabilities of a Felix Jones.
