The game contains plenty of developing players on both sides who won't have played together much so should be interesting. From an England perspective I can't to see how Foden does back in the 15 shirt and also really looking forward to Jonny May getting a chance on the wing as I've been pushing for him to be selected all season (and before that even!).

To be completely honest I know little about most of the Consur XV players but as a Tigers fan I'm looking forward to seeing Horacio Agulla's younger brother Belisario on the right wing. I always rated Horacio very highly and enjoyed his style of play so I'm hoping for much the same from Belisario!

I'm als trying. It just says loading at the moment

Live scores are available on the bbc

I've got it here:

Absolute legend!

Nice one pal, well done!

2 minutes in and Consur have just missed a penalty

It's a legitimate link, mentioned on the RFU twitter account, so I hope there's no problem posting it publicly.

Great work cheers Rugby Fan!

Click the "Live Streaming" link...working in the US.

Marler penalized in the scrum on eight minutes. Ref looks to have issued an early warning.

Another penalty miss. Let-off for England there.

SA XV have missed 2 kicks at goal, most recent one dead in front from 40m,

I've been impressed with CONSUR so far, they look well drilled.

Handily, the ref is giving a lot of directions in English.

They've got a good scrum it seems

The link isn't working for me (probably due to terrible internet connection) so the updates are much appreciated thanks!

I love the way the commentator says Billy Vunipola.

Well we've been Poopie so far too...

CONSUR putting in too many miracle passes but they're looking pretty handy. Ref seems good as well.

Penalty on halfway for England. We go for touch. (15 minutes)

I was going to say great steal at the lineout but wrong numbers

Who does the ref keep shouting quiet at?

He's given them a penalty try...

Shoddy defensive organisation by England leading to a penalty try and YC for jonny May

After our chance. Consur break to the other end. In the scramble to defend, we give away a penalty try and suffer a yellow card. Looks like May.

Regretting finding a link to this game at the moment.

Penalty try? Well done CONSUR. The offside there was almost certainty stopping the try so fair enough. I didn't think Foden was going to stop the guy in the first place.

(remember everyone that they were in the UK last weekend, it'll take a while to adjust)

Is that may binned

Nice try Foden

Good comeback, Foden over in the corner.

Try Foden

That's better. Foden get's in, in the corner.

Foden...good lad...

Unlucky, conversion back off the post.

Has Paice thrown one straight yet?

Interestingly the ref just gave England a chance to avoid the scrum for accidental obstruction. If they had used it straight away they would have been allowed to carry on. Good take by Lawes anyway

Too many knock ons

Just found out this game was televised

I take it England are not doing too well

Why did May get a YC?

I love the way May has to wear a "naughty boy bib"

Deliberate knock on on their own line.

England trying to force things too much

Cheers,

Thought it was unusual for a winger to get a yellow card thought he might have been a naughty boy.

Rolling maul from lineout gives england 2nd try

BillyV was at the helm

Awesome maul...great try Billy

Getting into the swing of it now, good push over try.

Push over try for England. Not too bad considering they didn't compete at the lineout and were just defending the maul. AND their forwards seem pretty well drilled

Repeat operation, BillyV again

The maul is proving effective...billy having a cracker

Watched the last 10 minutes, it looks like the Vunipola show is on

Billy V has some ridiculous legs. Tree trunks is doing him a disservice

Nick Williams for England?

Very similar style of player. Very agile for his massive size, big bruising runner.

Flip me, hatrick for Billy!
