Excuse the heading, but I really cannot wait for this England (read South African B team) to go home. Yes they have been involved in most of the thrilling and close games this tournament, but that does not mean they are worthy to be in the quarter finals.
Let’s hope Sri Lanka get the memo today and boot them back on the first plane, otherwise an England semi final for the Black Caps will be on the cards.

Dude, if they win this game you’re gonna look like an ass!!
England and the Proteas are sharing a flight to London to watch the Sharks vs Saders game

Good start for Andrew Strauss, England have won the toss and will bat with an unchanged team. The stats for this ground show batting first is a huge advantage.

Ruaan scored all his sides points , 1 try
1 cons
5 pens
