    @Victor-Meldrew I think most Saffas would distance themselves from Keohane and the shit he spouts, but he is included in the SA 'media'

    SA-NZ final, barring a big shock in the semis.

    I think England might do a job on SA. Revenge for the final last time.

    I can see Saffas intentionally knocking on and then driving our scrum 50m backwards to score over and over again

    So England are the only undefeated team left now.

    Looks like SA will be winning their 4th RWC. Saffas are going to be unbearable if they do.

    @Dodge I honestly think England’s forwards are better.

    That was intense! nice to watch a game like that and not be involved. I feel for France but I'm also glad they are out.

    That shallow dropkick that went straight into touch was so stupid. 5 minutes to go, you go long.

    That game shows the need for a varied kicking game, the French looked great early when they varied it up with those short kicks, but once they went way from it the Saffas could just knock em over and the French starting panicking.

    Yeah, three major points. Can't catch high balls, rushed/inaccurate even on attack, and like Ireland out of ideas to close a close one

    I hope WR look at the cheating fucking HIAs

    @taniwharugby My only Saffa acquaintance calls Rassie a wankel .Don't think he's referring to the rotary internal combustion engine...so he has good taste

    Seeing a big guy like Woki so sad really hits you in the feels.

    I think they were worried about Pollard winding one up from 55m. Felt it was better to take that out the equation by going wide and shorter.

    Yeah, the HIAs today have Rassie's fingerprints all over them

    Surely the WC chokers tag can never be applied to us now after this weekend of semi-finals ...

    Gutted for France. But they didn't deserve it, the Boks did.

    Amazing that Kolbe'e charge down was the difference.

    Boks with an awesome backline is a scary prospect. Kolbe was unreal tonight

    Well I thought in end SA deserved the win, and I a real Bok fan usually, but there was some blatant time wasting etc the ref couldn't stop as players went down etc. Do wonder how that waterboy was allowed on with instructions just before Eben's try though!
    For France, they could of still won it, but have to remeber it's a team game, not just a Dupont game. He was absolutely almost crawling by end of game and coach didn't have the confidence (it seems) in other players to replace him, so I say, have a look in mirror coach (and take of those f***en glasses) so you can see whetre you went wrong!

    I said at the time that it was amazing that we didn't see a single replay to confirm whether he left early or not - other providers may have, but you'd think that would be the easiest thing for a TMO to quickly check? We check every other bloody thing!

    Wow. So there will be a chance that the two SH superpowers will fight it out to see who has won more RWCs. Time to pay them back for 1995 I reckon....

    I’ve mentioned before I’m not a fan of the whole hemisphere thing…..

    But this result means wankface Clive Woodward is 1 from 4 for his picks over the weekend.

    That makes me happy.
