Once we got the scrum sorted ,we looked dangerous.Phillips ,Roberts and O"Driscol put in big performances. Still a great game to watch and roll on the 2nd test.

Great commentary Ger. We were mulla"d in the first half.. Mears couldn"t hit his jumpers, the scrum collapsed quicker than a cheap deck chair and the ref..... well the least said.
We got better when they got the English out of the front row!! ODriscoll and Roberts were awesome, causing problems all over and Monye was a handful ( he didn"t drop the ball, it was terrific defence). I like Philips at 9, and even though Jones didn"t have his best game I would stick with him at ten.
Great last 15 mins, but this did happen when the Boks were resting their stars, hope for next week though. Oh and I am English!

Ok but at that level you must score, he"s a strong lad and should have protected the ball - croft did beautifully for his first try

Watched the test again last night and Ger you are correct Monye should have scored! I coach my under 17 team to either hold the ball in two hands, or in the hand away from the tackler. Basic stuff.
So what are your changes for the next test, a few players can play their way in today, but only a few.
I think the front row will start the way it finished, there will be changes in the second row, and possibly in the back row also.
O"Gara for Jones? Lets see how he plays today. Williams for Monye? I would stick with Ugo. Other than that the backs are fine.
