Wales were hard done by, they had that game by the throat and didn't squeeze tight enough. couple of missed opportunities and south Africa hit them with their only bit of pressure in the 2nd half. Phillips was really aggravating me with his desire to boss each and every ruck, then spend ages telling his forwards where to line up, then slinging it to the nearest one, them having their charge cut off at the knees, only to repeat the whole process until the attack stagnated...
England reverted to type and until Youngs the replacement scrum half came on were working off a lot of slow ball, which was just kicked to the corners. Don't have much confidence in them pushing on in the tournament really.
Didn't see any of the other big nations apart from NZ, who can't win for winning, if they win badly, they're not upto scratch, if they win big, the opponents aren't good enough. Really want them to win, but fear the pressure will be too much, we shall see.
