Etzebeth's card remains a Yellow & rightly so IMO.

 

[HogansHeros]

Going to be a tough 10min!

 

[HogansHeros]

Enjoyed watching Arendse and Kolbe run the ball back, I wonder if we will see them kick it more this half

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Not the same game since all the subs came on

Edit: that's more like it! Game On!

 

[HogansHeros]

Thats it GAME ON!!

Smith definitely had hand on ground there. Shouldn't have received penalty.

Should have been a penalty the other way, so it's a 6 point swing. It came up on the screen before the kick too, are TMO's not able to intervene on penalty calls?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

SA gaming the HIA process?

 

[Confucius Say]

For sure

 

[Adam84]

Good to see ref ignore De Klerks attempt to to milk a penalty

 

[Confucius Say]

If O’Keefe is serious, he will give it away. Lost count of the games he controls that finish in controversy. Kwagga call was just wrong!

 

[Shuteshieldfan]

Du Toit mystery HIA...

 

[TSR]

South Africa appear to be manipulating the HIA rules.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

"1-1-1, what's your emergency?"

"We need an ambulance, old mate Frenchy's choking!"

"Again?"

 

[Adam84]

Jeez who would have thought England would be the team carrying the 6 Nations into the RWC semis

only undefeated team left

Well I a fan of SA rugby etc, but f*** me there seem to be some skirting or bending of rules. HIA is something they know you get free rein on and I suspect it was stretched a bit today.
For French team, you blew chances, DuPont a great player, but never got above a walk in last 10-15 minutes and was almost crawling at end. If you got a team, use your team!!!!

Can't recall the QF & SF stats but I believe overall AB record at RWC's is on a par with SA & well ahead of anyone else's?
