    Pretty rotten day sports wise then this side both rugby teams losing with very similar scorelines and football ending in a draw in a game really should be able to win Cry

    95 @ Bullscot:
    Courtney Lawes may also be added to the list of injured players missing out on facing the Boks. He didn’t play for Northampton today after picking up a knee injury in midweek. That would England quite exposed in the second row, potentially an area the Boks can target…
