RWC QF: France v South Africa
-
SA to spoil France's party
And make it an all SH SF against Fiji

My head says France.
I may chop my head off closer to Sunday. -
I can totally see France winning this then losing against England a week later. That would be normal programming for the Frogs.
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel if France win, England (assuming they beat Fiji) will not be stopping them. This isn't the pig headed English team from 2007 with over the hill greats playing a swansong.
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel If Fiji win their QF final with England, I hope they beat France as payback for the Paddy O'Brien refereeing tragedy that was the 1999 QF.

I keep saying this is not the mercurial France of old, but we shall see if I am right. They did seem to panic a little against the ABs in the first half or so... or maybe I was deluding myself.

@nostrildamus Penaud could have played with the teams of old. Looks like he is playing footy with his mates at times. Languid style. He can't kick for toffee though

@Bovidae said in RWC QF: France v South Africa:
SA are being slackers in not naming their team by now.
They're too busy reinforcing the bench because it can't support the weight of all their replacement props

@Bovidae said in RWC QF: France v South Africa:
Referee: Ben O'Keeffe (NZR)
Assistant Referee 1: Paul Williams (NZR)
Assistant Referee 2: James Doleman (NZR)
TMO: Brendon Pickerill (NZR)An all kiwi officiating team.
I can't remember when last I saw the make-up of the officials all being from one country.(Maybe I just haven't been enough attention?)
I will say this upfront BEFORE the game... I do rate O'Keeffe. Hope he has a great game.

@Billy-Webb These four officiated in the Japan v Argentina game.

And depending how the dice fall could easily be the officiating team for the Final
