@Smuts there foward pack in that last 10 were immense
@deeezenuts forwards grew into the game and the bench made a huge impact.
The halves and outside backs were pretty bloody special as well.
Not sure what changed since the TRC but they’re showing the spirit of the best Bok sides. Very fun to watch.

@booboo the least they deserve, unto their sons’ sons to the seventh generation, surely?
You've lost me.
Anyway, I'd say it is a stop start game. But more of a stop stop game.

Kiwi sides have a massive karmic debt of cards and penalties from undetected cynical infringements by these baby blacks’ forebears.
Short of giving back 2 or 3 Webb-Ellises and a fair few super and SANZAAR titles I’m afraid it’s getting many more marginal cards for the next seven or so generations to get out of the karmic red.
Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

Re that yellow.
Ref immediate called penalty only. Tackler connected with the back of the shoulder, subsequent glancing bow to head.
Ref watching the replay keeps repeating penalty only, impact on shoulder. Rest of the WR commisars talk him round to yellow. Crap call.

What a load of absolute victimhood rubbish. We're massively over carded.

Not that I’m in a place to be critical but where on earth did they find the commentator calling the Spain v Argentina game
Sounds like he was offered the job in the car park -

Is this the same South African team that played against us a month ago? They have gone up a few levels and look to be the team to beat.

The England-SA game was well worth watching. That defensive stand at the end with a man in the sinbin was outstanding. Burrow's face said it all in the post-match interview.
And, the TMOs can fuck off with so many interventions.

I'm watching back Scotland versus Australia at the moment and after Scotland score a try and have kicked the conversion everyone's back at halfway. The TMO chips in to disallow the try because of a knock-on at a ruck prior.
Shit officiating all round

So Italy beat Ireland. Maybe the Italy result wasn't so bad after all?
Ireland are a rubbish team this year.

Italy were decent in the Six Nations U20s and are at home in this comp so not an awful first up result by NZ
