RWC Oct 16 2023 1/8 Final France vs South Africa

[Derpus]

Every incident they are talking about is valid. I don't deny that.

But refs make calls. Sometimes wrong. The only variable is who ends up on the wrong side.

the more impactful wrong call was Kwagga not supporting his weight but ref was not able to see that and we can't have the TMO call these decisions back. The game will die. It is bad enough already.

I can also whinge. There are tons of clips of the Etzebeth try, as he falls there is clear head contact on him from a French player.

None of this is why France lost. They could not put us away and completely panicked in the last ten

Have a word with Rassie for us will ya?

French should be having a sook as to why their fly-half decided to attempt a dominant 1 on 1 tackle on Etzebeth 5 metres from the line. Baffling decision that only gets stranger as I watch the highlights back.

how about his clearing kick that went 10m backwards. The lad is getting paid half a million to do that!

He had a bit of a stinker. If they can keep Dupont-Ntamack-Ramos together for another 3 years they are going to be mighty good come 2027. They seem to have a never ending pipeline of big forwards at u20 level these days. Also thought the 9 at the u 20 world cup was the player of the tournament. Scary stuff.

The Tuilagi kid is terrifying. Him and Meafou will provide more than enough ballast in a few years.
