So what is the rule re halfbacks hand on ball at a ruck? Do they have to pick it up before u can tackle?

Yep, and it’s a blight

Yes

[MrDenmore]

Total lack of creativity from either team.

South African defence was superb, but some of those penalties were cynical ...how good is Marco Vunipola...workrate for Africa

There was only one PK. Confirmed by ref.

Then he's fucking blind

Or French

Long penalty for Pollard. Edge of his range.

But they also seem to be able to pick it up and put it back down going by some of the games in this world cup.

Boks playing controlled rugby.

Upping the pace when they need to, checking their options rather than relying on instinct

Gets it. RSA 9 England 6.

[Kirwan]

Is it? The alternative is halfbacks have trouble clearing the ball and the backlines can rush up even more than they do now. There was a conscious decision from WR a few years ago to change this. Used to be hands on was enough.

[No Quarter]

Battle of the penalties.

Some brutal hits so far.

[sparky]

Daly knock ons. Big scrum to end the half.

[Machpants]

So funny, faf forced to pass and it was great. Dumb fluffybunnies would be a few tries up if they actually played!
