At last a penalty given to NZ.

[Bones]

Great, smart play. Keep them moving and going backwards, they're fucked already.

@Bones When Brian Moore says he's not sure, you know it's a clear try.

Moore is doing a great job explaining things for people who don't watch much rugby

[sparky]

5-5. It feels like the momentum has shifted. Lots of the RSA players puffing.

[Bones]

Sweet pass.

[sparky]

Sorensen-McGee in. Great set up.

[sparky]

And the BFs hit the lead.

[sparky]

Crowd silenced.

[sparky]

Kick no good. 10-5 to the BFs after 30 minutes.

[Mr Fish]

Looked like there could have been a knock on by BSM when putting that ball down. Would've been interesting to see a slow mo replay.

The Welsh comments lady on the BBC is doing my head in.

It sounds like some village's idiot has randomly wandered into the commentary box.

[Bones]

SA have a non passing, 1st gear dump truck at 12 and are still putting us under defensive pressure.

Ref happy to let the SAs have a rest at every opportunity. Make them play rugby ffs.

Sara Cox.

Everyone sings her praises because she's been around forever, but IMHO she'd struggle at club level in Sydney

[KiwiMurph]

Put the offloads away ladies.

[Bones]

SA stand up at the scrum, their 6 & 7 detach before the ball is out... but that's play on right

[sparky]

This ref is dreadful.

[sparky]

Setefano off for a HIA.

[MajorPom]

This SA team is a disgrace. So many of them are just fucking fat, and were puffing after 10 secs.

Every fucking stop takes 2 mins due to bullshit injuries and the ref has said “time off” literally 30 times.

10 mins of delays after 34 minutes.

Ref needs to get a handle on it.

[antipodean]

This is why the women's RWC is an exercise in DEI. Just because the players are female, doesn't men incompetent referees should be assigned just because they're women too.

The players deserve better.

[sparky]

Crap hands from Sorensen.
