Hate to say it but England were nothing short of superb. They only conceded one lucky try and were very unlucky to have two more tries chalked off themselves. They could easily have stuck 30+ on the ABs. From start to finish they dominated in terms of skill, power, tactics and any other facet of the game you care to mention. Some of the hits they put in were almost seismic and the ABs didn't know what hit them and couldn't even begin to deal with it. Hugely deserved win.

Now it's Wales v the Saffers tomorrow and we've got it all to do given our patchy form to date. The game could go either way but the Boks are a huge, physical side who can play good rugby as well. Unless Wales up their game considerably then Boks will win it. But I'm thinking that, even if Wales make the Final, England will smash them out of sight and I don't think I could stomach that. On the other hand, the Boks more than match them physically and would make more of a game of it. As the Saffers are my second team, part of me won't mind if they beat Wales because they would at least stand a chance of beating England. On present form Wales wouldn't have a scoobie of doing so.
