England V South Africa round 3

[Charlton]

well they did it and what an unusual game for Cipriani, obviously conditions didn't help, all I realy saw him do was tackle, tackle and tackle and did some good work in the rucks and mawls, started to wonder if they had planned not to give him the ball, then one piece of sublime brilliance and he puts May into the corner. At least they kept penalties down, but work to do in the lineouts and scrums, but altogether a much better performance, but have to admit SA didn't have their best players on in the first half, don't think it would have mattered though.

Well done to England - Cipriana did make a difference eventually. Terrible game due to the conditions, but at least England reduced the penalty count and deserved the win.

On the plus side Scotland finally played the best team they had on tour, after leaving so many guys at home.

Absolutely gubbed Argentina and showed Wales how to beat the Pumas!

After the summer tests the scores on the doors are :

1. Ireland

2. Scotland

3. Wales

4 = France and England.

Just hope Cipriani gets a decent run to show what he can do in decent conditions, that's if Youngs or whoever is scrum half passes the ball to him, after probably saving Jones from the sack think he might
