Rugby World Cup 2023

How can you not want South Africa to win when you see Kolisi’s passion

 

[Ax^]

Come on the Boks

 

[Ax^]

fair card given

 

[Limejuice]

Come on, Wayne Barnes!



Big decision after 2 minutes.

 

[Petcha]

Shame if that gets upgraded to a red. Lucky it wasn't a white cunt who committed it.

 

[Ax^]

seriously Petcha

 

[two sheds]

Ta I'd forgotten the time

 

[A380]

Gutted for him

 

[Elpenor]

South Africa are demonstrating the right sort of kicking compared to England who did the wrong sort

The right sort is when it works

 

[gawkrodger]

AB will happily give up a yellow for the saffas to play with a non-specialist hooker for 75 mins

 

[Elpenor]

Boks having the final played the way they want it so far I think

I don't understand how one brick shithouse can run full speed into another brick shithouse and get slammed backwards with both of them getting up with nothing broken and just trot off

That's because it isn't soccer.

Even at 9-3 down I'm going for NZ

Yes not one of those words could be used in relation to football.

 

[Elpenor]

That doesn’t look good

 

[Ax^]

what is with the all black today they normally clinical

that was sloppy or intentional dangerous

 

[planetgeli]

Even at 9-3 down I'm going for NZ

With 14 men

Only getting scraps from the SA set piece dominance

Sloppy, for me. But the laws these days demand a level of precision.

 

[Petcha]

Disappointing game so far. And I suspect that will be a red based on the new laws that you can't tackle in rugby anymore.

 

[Elpenor]

SA back row are on fire and why not when they can switch out their pack in the second half

And 14 for the rest of the game no surprise

 

[Petcha]

Well thats ruined the game. Fucking idiots.

 

[two sheds]

It's been a hell of a game so far I just wish they'd had a few more days to recover from the last game.

 

[Elpenor]

It’s a clear red, you can’t hit the head like that; the laws are the same for everyone

 

[Steel Icarus]

Has to be the Boks' to lose now. Cards aside they've been superior. With that red I think they've got too much.

 

[Petcha]

For the sake of rugby I really hope the All Blacks win this. That's absurd you can be sent off for what is what I always believed was a totally reasonable tackle when I was playing. WTF..

 

[Mr Retro]

Can’t believe either they give 5 points for a try when it was a more realistic 4 points when I was playing

I normally find you depressing on this thread but I can't argue with that, I've not seen a single tackle in this game so far.

South Africa tackles: 0
New Zealand tackles: 0

I wonder what they've been doing the whole time. What the game really needs is some good head-on-head-splitting concussive tackling that fucks them up for the rest of their lives
