Good win for N.Z. but England can "kick" themselves for not winning. I'll see myself out. :ROFL:
They can all line up to kick Ford, jirre he was bad in general, that final try defence by him was like he chaperoned the attacker over the line. I just do not understand any of the hype he gets.

When boks team

Today I think. Team is normally announced on a Tuesday for Saturday games but since the match vs Scotland is on a Sunday, the announcement is delayed. Hopefully around lunch time. Will wait for one of you muppets to post it as I'll be on the road.

EDIT: According to the editor of rugby365.com, announcement is tomorrow.

Should be an absolute cracker.
 
Ruan Nortje ruled out of the rest of the EOYT after suffering a leg injury yesterday during training. Jean Kleyn called up in place.

According to Rugby365.com, in the same article, the team to face Scotland will be named on Friday. Not sure if this was always the case, or the late injury to Nortje precipitated this.
 
I'm not Scottish, however this weekend I am. I really hope they win.

@Spizz @Mortymoose @Creag
I can't believe they have actually won 5 games against us out of 29. All in Scotland.
That is pretty good.

They beat us twice in this century and 3 times in the last one.
So they are looking to equal their best century already.

We are on 8 wins in a row against them. Twice as many as we have against the All Blacks.
