I watched that game, live, in a Pub, in NZ - me in my England Top, with 2 other Brits sporting the Red Rose - the Rest were Saffas - all resplendent in their Nations Colours. It was a glorious 60 minutes. But credit to South Africa - when they knew what they were doing wasn't working, they subbed out their entire bench, they switched up their game plan drastically and they came away with the win. It was heart breaking. At the end though, I shook the hands of strangers who I'd just shared 90 or so minutes of an emotional rollercoaster, Got a hug from one of the Saffa Ladies - and remembered that this is why we watch Rugby. I just wish it was England v the All Blacks in the final. Still, I married a Kiwi, so this weekend I'm officially a Kiwi and it's time for revenge of 1995.

But after your analysis of when the Boks made their substitutions I have to say that you're absolutely right. They were timed to absolute perfection and you’re spot on with your analysis of their impact at those moments. Fair play to the Boks coaching team for understanding just how hyped up England were and exactly how to string together minutes of paused-clock time in order to completely change the energy the England team had in the subsequent plays.

As gutted as I was - and still am truth be told - from the overall result, this was the BEST ENGLAND PERFORMANCE I HAVE SEEN SINCE THE 2019 WC SF! Yes we had a game plan to kick via 9 or 10 to the wings and put the SA wingers under pressure - which we executed. But after winning the high ball we needed to come inside and win midfield contact to recycle or draw penalties....and we did this too! We were also so bloody good at the breakdown and in the set piece! I've never seen SA give away so many turnovers or lose so many of their own lineouts. Meanwhile we were pretty much faultless on our own ball...and most of all we were so so disciplined in contact. I wish OF had not lost his head in the 1st half - I have no idea how he got into a situation where he was penalised twice for arguing with the ref - but its hard to criticise him too much given how he played for most of the game...including the best drop goal I have ever seen! Despite all these positives in the first 40, I found myself saying that a 12-6 lead at HT was worrying. It just wasn't a big enough gap to reflect our dominance. Curry going off on 32 mins and not coming back for the 2nd half was also a huge loss for us. I was almost certain that the 2nd half would bring a SA comeback and we needed a 2 score cushion. When OF dropped that goal to make it 15-6 I thought we had enough to see it home. Of course I expected a SA try - it was always going to happen - but when it did I thought they were too late. I never thought our scrum would fail as badly as it did. I know the blame has been put mainly on Genge and Sincks...I think this is partly true - they were both out scrummaged by their opposite numbers. But I also think Itoje was dead on his feet for the last 15 and Chessum simply couldn't provide the same ballast as Martin. Other subs also cost us badly - Billy V was useless and Care didn't play the kicking game as well as Mitchell did. On the other hand, the SA replacements were all amazing. And in the end we lost because their squad was just better than ours.

Ha-ha, Erasmus is a strategic and tactical master. 5 months later, and I watched the SA-France game again. Then it struck me (and I may have the sequence and names wrong): (1) 20mins to go and Steph du Toit is pulled for concussion-test. Temp replacement Fourie. (2) 10mins later, Du Toit's concussion-test showed nothing. But simultaneously hooker Mbonambi now goes for concussion test. So, with 10 minutes to the final whistle, there are two pairs of relatively fresh legs on the field, namely Du Toit (after a 10mins break) and Fourie now at hooker. So apart from having used 8 regular replacements, Coach Erasmus had figured out how to make it (sort of) NINE replacements, by making use of the compulsory concussion-test! Love him or hate him for it; Erasmus sure knows how to use / abuse the rugby rules.

Interesting observation of the two sides' tactics - well spotted, thank you. EDIT: The Boks were ecstatic when Joe Marler and Ben Coles disappeared. England had no idea of the trouble those guys gave the Boks, otherwise they'd have kept them on - no matter how tired they'd gotten. The other unsung heros could be Ben Earl and Otoje who really stepped up his game in this match.

As a South African in the UK I remember this night well. I had a pre-booked halloween night out with the wife and another couple, walking tour getting soaked, following the game score, was absolutely miserable lol. I got home for last couple of mins and soon as I turned on the TV Handre blast it over from halfway. What a night!

When 8:30 happened live in game, I was off my feet cheering for England... I didn't see the tactics behind it, knowing it was all planned somehow makes it all the more beautiful. Man I love rugby.

For a fan (but mere pleb) like me, your match analysis is amazing. Long may you continue. Now wondering is the Nuke Squad selected by Nienaber and Rassie is yet another twist. Can't wait for it!

That's the plan. Simply not enough time in the week to get two done with the stills situation, but fingers crossed it should loosen after the tournament ends next week.
