Italy vs Springboks

[Bones]

Saffa claiming mitigation for an on purpose shoulder because he was being tackled already.

Only yellow if it's against black but red for anyone else.

[MiketheSnow]

Consistency

That’s all we ask for

[Bones]

Only yellow, his feet shifted slightly backwards.

[Bones]

Pretty unfair, there's no way Mostert was expecting to have to make a tackle there. Just bracing himself for impact after being surprised by a ball carrier changing direction.

[Bones]

And that was fucking dodgy by Moodie.

[Bones]

Saffa commentator is fucking hilarious. Trying to claim Lynagh tackled Moodie in the air because both his feet were off the ground, as though he's never understood how running works.

[Bones]

And what's the bet we see some of the players Rassie has subbed coming back on later?

Nah man, why would you be expecting a player to use footwork? Not only that, you're advancing at a player that could well be carrying the ball when you meet, so there's no way you'd even think you might have to tackle them. Outrageous.

@Bones As soon as 14 came off the coach said ‘don’t worry, you’ll be back. Stay ready.’ Can see it in the body language. World Rugby created the problem and have no clue how to fix it

[Bones]

Brex should get a fucking card for that too. What a fuckface

[Bones]

Italy doing a good job of playing the plucky battler that doesn't really expect to win. They should be really pushing SA around the park, put them under pressure and make Rassie look stupid when he runs out of players.

[MiketheSnow]

If you’d just tuned in you’d think Italy were a man down

Not playing intelligent rugby

I am genuinely flummoxed

Oh, so that reasoning doesn't work now? I'm facetiously flummoxed. There was hardly even any force, Mostert went just as far back as Garbisi, you can see it in his feet.

[cgrant]

Rassie doesn't trust his "B" props. By the 25th minute, both Steenkamp and Louw have been called to replace the starters. I don't know if Louw has 60 minutes in his legs.

I doubt that's the case - he just knows he can bring them back on later when there's an "injury".

Skinstad thinks the same as you

Led with shoulder, other arm tucked, straight to chin

If that’s not a RC I honestly don’t know what the fuck is

Ok now I'm genuinely flummoxed. If only that was the case when teams did it against black. Consistency, right?

[ACT Crusader]

Boks dropping high balls on an Italian contest. Knock on advantage to Italy and the Italian openside is again on the ball to win a penalty. He’s having a good game.

10-6 to Boks.
