Not expecting much considering the inept coaching staff and
approach thinking it’s still 2003.
We will be lucky to score many tries considering the
international highlights of Freeman and steward so far are them
taking high balls

England will click for one game. Sod's law it will be against
the Boks. There is some talent in the team, after all.
The biggest concern is that a win - any win - will convince
Borthwick he's been right all along and he'll continue as is.

Good to see Wilco Louw in the starting XV.

Our scrum held up, initially, against the All Blacks. Can it do
so against the Boks? And if it does, what will happen when the
replacement front row comes on?

I seem to recall Yareet mentioning that there are fewer scrums
in the modern game and this is not so much an area of
importance.
I am not sure I agree with him - but, I do hope he is right.

Genge doesn't seem to have been the same in the scrum since his
move to Brizzle.

Woah that's a decent bit of remembering!
But yeah, in World Cup games the number of scrums has halved
from 1987 to 2023

If you watch games of that era, the handling is two passes and a
knock on.
Line outs were thrown one-handed, somewhere in the vicinity of a
jumper - but were much more of a lottery than now.
