agreed........the Boks have always been the dirtiest b'stards when it comes to intimidation.........glad those nasty cheap shots have basically been red + yellow carded out of the game over the last 10 years or so........
I really admired England's forwards in the last world cup final......sure they bent the rules to breaking point the way they were killing play on the try line......but guys like Johnson + Delaglio really put their bodies on the line to do this......it's a wonder they are still walking afterwards......
Can't see anyone in the English team these days who would be prepared to do that.........
