South Africa are like the rugby equivalent of a Jose Mourinho side.

A joyless insult to the sport. Cynical cheating their M.O.

Getting absolutely destroyed in the scrum.

England getting totally outfought and out-thought.

Not in the game on any level.

That’s obvious even to a rugby novice like me.

This is lost now. When the scrum is dominated like this then you get a stream of penalties and it’s almost impossible to fight against that.

Can’t see us winning now.

Game over. Had a chance if we sorted the scrum out straight after half time but we haven’t.

Can't they lose somebody for too many team infringements even at scrumtime?
They can but my understanding is that it would have to be one player repeatedly standing up or losing his bind or something like that.

He hasn't been warning a particular player or the team for anything.

This is just one scrum being stronger than the other.

He'd have no one to single out for the yellow.
