Oooooo....the last time Barrrit played against the Boks, he ripped them a new a-hole......hmmmm.....

To be fair, it was an under strength Bok side with some of piekeniens playing like Earl Rose and Juan De Jongh and Ruan Pienaar playing flyhalf. Adams played scrumhalf ! LOL....

Barritt can prove another big point this weekend.

Yeah Barritt is very solid defensively but offers little with ball in hand.......not sure why they are playing him at 13 given he is a 12.

 

Would have made more sense playing the in form Jospeh at 13, who is Eastmond's centre partner at Bath and who is in the England squad......but hey ho.

 

Watson on the wing is a very good player

England to win it.......the Meyer downward spiral has started to kick in.......performances earlier in the year showed the cracks, the dead rubber win against the Kiwi's covered those cracks for a fleeting moment.......Meyer's true ability as a coach and selector will be exposed.

 

England are better coached........the only saving grace for the Boks might be pride and passion after the insulting performance against Ireland.......but the Poms will win it is my call and with it will come a slip down the rankings
