Semi Finals

[ripper868]

Porecki was serial offender for Aus in Pool phases as well, barely had a heel on the line - no idea when it became common to not call it but annoys me as well.

Since when was Taylor the captain?


Either way, odd that you call out the ABs hooker for this - most hookers do this. A far cry from when Grant Fox had a try disallowed against Ireland in 1989 because at a lineout 10 phases earlier, Fitzy had stepped into the field of play when he threw in.

I meant to write hooker I've no idea why I typed skipper lol.

Making it into a kicking contest is England’s best chance but is unwatchable

Isnt it supposed to be on 9now? There's no sign of it on the website or the app

Seems England have turned up tonight. Certainly matching the physicality at the moment, not sure why SA are turning down the easy 3 points this early.

 

[ripper868]

Lol Farrell. Keep going and you'll get a card, even as captain you can't talk like that at the ref.

 

[StephenZA]

SA playing the conditions really poorly. Expected more from them.

 

[Ali TT]

Dumbass from Farrell but so far SA making the type of mistakes I'd have expected from England.

 

[ripper868]

Yep, SA look all at sea right now, a little like Argentina v England in the pool phase. Own worst enemy right now.

Best we've looked at the breakdown since last WC tbh, not sure where this has come from.

Doubtful it will last 80 mins.

Libbock pulled. Wow. Not been playing well but huge call.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Yeah, it's one of those calls that'll be called genius or madness, depending on the result.

 

[BazBall21]

The best I've seen England play since the semi final four years ago.

South African rugby is a ruthless institution.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Billy V looking like a bloke who wasn't ready to come on.

Also looking a tad well fed, even by his standards.

Wrong conditions for him... Pollard right man now.

 

[ripper868]

Silly that from PSDT.

Been advertising it for months but seemed to have pulled it

Typical for rugby in this country

 

[ripper868]

Well, ots not as enthralling as last week, but at least its not a pummelling.
