The Quarter Finals

[BoyBrumby]

Think Japan's lack of a big ball carrier hurting them.

Their line out being a shambles not helping either...

yea south africa are going to win this by being the most boring team in the world

And that's the ice. Just cant see a way through this defense for Japan. Needs a Matsushima/Fukoka piece of magic now...even as that kick sails wide.

I mean, it would have been sporting malpractice to do literally anything else. Japan are too dangerous to be taking strategic liberties.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Big squeak from Pollard. Probably won't matter, but the scrum had earned those three points.

 

[Flem274*]

lol another shot at goal. cowards. pragmatic, but cowards.

we're going to be the last interesting team in the wc next week

obviously but they're still boring and deserve to be heckled as such

 

[BoyBrumby]

Rucking from the Boks is top drawer, it must be said.

That was high on Faf too. Yup, pen.

the reserve japanese 10 is an idiot. they need to stop kicking away ball to sa.

I mean, it's not like they're making the advantage line with any consistency, so what else is he meant to do?

 

[Spark]

Yeouch. That looked bloody painful.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Grabbing the scrum cap is naughty, but it does ask the question why a wing needs one?

not bombs straight to the sa back 3? meme cross field kick at least

im very salty we're being denied the most fun final of all time by 80 minutes of finals crusadersball

 

[Spark]

Well that is just total domination.

Nz scoring 7 tries against everyone they play isn't interesting...

 

[BoyBrumby]

Yeah, that's all she wrote. Proper rugby from the Boks.

One presumes that SA aren't quite going to have the same tight 5 domination against, well, anyone else.
