    So, France are now at 12 wins in a row, pretty impressive considering the teams they have played in that run. Are they a chance at beating the record and winning the World Cup?

          It's become so pathetic, that they've had to lock the Wikipedia page about Wayne Barnes (editing no longer possible) because of all the text vandalism: abusive edits etc.

            That PSTD red card is a fucking joke. This sport has gone to the fucking dogs.

            He is trying to stand up and his own player pushes him into the ruck for god sake.

            The World Cup is going to be wheel of fortune.

              Found that very frustrating. Wayne Barnes did his best but not sure he got good support from the rest of his team. Looked like a double movement to me. 2 reds is very disappointing. Game becoming a bit of a lottery.

              Rugby is in a bad place at the moment and it is affecting all teams. (except the Irish)

                    Well, in fairness, all their big wins have been at home. During the Summer tours they didn't play away to any of the top teams so that winning streak is a bit skewed in my opinion.

                      I find it odd than NZ rugby owns (or owned) a piece of RugbyPass yet they continually troll SH rugby.

                          Up to 28 minutes and Wayne has just penalised France for offside, despite not interrupting the ball, because Aldritt advanced while FdK was rolling the ball back with his hands and feet for a few seconds.

                          This shit has to stop, absolute bollocks.

                            @Bones and yet one later in the game is the opposite, the guy touches (literally touches and then realises, returns onside) the 9 while ball still in and isnt pinged.

                              SA were unlucky, as they did so well to fight their way back.

                              On Barnes, I can't believe he allowed Woki to do what he did at the back of those centipede rucks. You can't be bound if you are using both hands to support your own body weight. It's becoming ridiculous.

                              France will be a different team without Dupont.

                                And they also played against the Wallabies, who apparently are rubbish which means the ABs will become rubbish….

                                        Home ground advantage is counting for a lot.
                                        Luckily for France, they also have it at the World Cup.
                                        Valiant effort by the Boks.

                                          In my view, the turning point was Faf de Klerk being replaced. He was marshaling his forwards brilliantly until then. His box kicks put a lot of pressure on the French team. Cobus Reinach was not as influential when he came in. From now on, the Springboks started to fade.
