Cattastrophy...

...or he will have if he can drive his back line through the weak South African midfield defence. A win here will give confidence and put England firmly back at the top of the tree. (REmember, the Aussies will get wiped out, the South Africans will just lose all discipline if they lose this one, and th All Blacks...well, we know they are going to choke somewhere along the line...)
It's time for Catt to stop pussyfooting around and give some value for all the super size meals he seems to have eaten these past few weeks. Andy Farrell was always a beautiful rugby league playmaker, and it would be great to see those skills on display tonight. The forwards? Well, I reckon 50/50 overall contest. Burger would have made a big difference for South Africa but now his absence might make a big difference for England - and Rees in particular - as chief speedster and ball grabber.
Perry at scrum half will need to be at his bubbly best, not ponderous in his delivery, otherwise it is going to be Babychambles behind the scrum... "Get yourselves ready for a tackle in five minutes boys, I'm just about to pass the ball - oh, when I have let Butch know so that he can line you up etc..."
Overall, the second biggest match of the tournament, a week after the opening spectacle that has seen France reduced to a psychologically deficient rabble - a nation in despair!
There is a Springbok Bar in Bedford Street London where this corespondent will be headed in order to 'capture the moment' (and then I'll rush off and get the train home as I can't stand all those big, South Africans in their parrot kit -  yuk! )
May the best team win -and if they don't they'll come second.
