"Tindall *beefs* the ball away" is a great bit of commentary.

How did Robinson get injured? Cheap shot, no doubt.

Yeah, I didn't see that either. Had I been watching on my own, I'd've rewound to see.

That try was a bit special.

Puja

And I’d forgotten they were down to 14 so early.

I have to say, I'm not 100% convinced that was a red. It was late and it was a tucked shoulder charge, but it was a big call from O'Brien.

Mind, given the number of shots we've already had, it's not undeserved on balance. Krige could have been red carded twice already, even under 2002 rules.

What a load of bollox.

The TMO decision, or me?

TMO. I agree it was a yellow.

England's scrum are just being cruel to a 7-man Springbok pack. I've been in scrums like that one going backwards.

Puja

Lovely.

Never mind, we got over anyway.

Love how Tindall ducks under the attempted clothesline.

This is actually good analysis on that try from Barnes. I'm shocked.

And Johnson just utterly ignores the one aimed at him.

Puja

"you cant re-emphasise the importance of being one man down" - great stuff from Barnes

Ouch.

AJ Venter puts in the best legal tackle of the game. Absolutely levelled Robinson - even when it's against your own team, you have to stand up and applaud that.

Puja

Sand as a kicking tee. Old school. I like it.

Oh, he's building a sandcastle! I haven't seen one of those in years!

Not if you drank as much as I did last night and ate as much as I have today.

Now, that’s a red.

Nowadays. Just a penalty at worst back then, although if the ref had spotted all of the other high tackles, then a yellow for repeated offences.

Puja

Phil Christophers - great step, great speed, haven't yet seen him hold onto the ball in contact.

Puja

That scissor was so far behind the gain line it was almost in Brighton.

10 minute break for halftime. Enjoy some more highlights.
