You’ve omitted Slade from your squad and have Lozowski in his place. A case of wishful thinking?

Has all of Wisemantel’s attacking structure fallen into place yet, though? We will see today!

Ha, absolutely I did which is why the engagement of an attack coach will elevate the standard, I do mean more attacking flair than the 6N, not necessarily more than SA. All this to say England should improve from where they were, I don’t know why SA would have improved since their poor run of form so, on balance, England should have improved enough to beat SA but again, is that improvement enough to warrant a return to an unbeaten run?

Attacking flair, did you watch the six nations!

I think England will win due to being more cohesive and with a little more attacking flair. That said, I think they (We) are on a hiding to nothing, Win and it is against a underperforming team, Lose against the aforementioned team and things look decidedly worse! Nothing but a clean sweep will mean any improvement in fortune

Ok then, my heart will always say England but my head says South Africa.

I think the sway will just go with South Africa but I am expecting a much changed England for the second test.

Which dressing room is going to want it more?Boks are at home very partisan crowd players wanting to impress new coach.End of season for our players are they prepared deep down to give it everything?Have me doubts so odds are on a Bok win but as I am often wrong England may give me a nice surprise

I don’t think it’s a lack of commitment, it doesn’t say that he is going to cheer whatever side is winning, it just says he supports both sides so it won’t matter which side wins
