      DDA gets a bit of grief on here but i think he's fantastic. He gave the Irish midfield kittens, he was huge today as well. That try was good fucking work.
      Jodie Barrett is effectively lanky DDA and yet he's loved.

        Even the Saffas used to give DDA shit. Although not so much now I assume.

          The Springboks bench made the difference except Faf who has been shocking. Fourie and Kwagga fight like dogs on defense and breakdowns, triple trouble with Vermeulen. Pollard but the real stars was our starting backline specially Libbok. He brought a new dimension to our attack. Hard luck to France, beating them in front of 80,000 mean the Springboks mean business.

          What has happened to Faf? it was a clear drop in performance when he came on.

          @chimoaus I have no idea. Try to milk a penalty and slow service. I would select our 4th rank scrumhalf who have the best service and gas.

            Oh and the ref has been great.

            A BOK supporter happy with the ref, that is high praise indeed. I assume you will have him next week as well.

            @chimoaus and a Waikato/Chiefs supporter.:astonished_face:

            He allow the game to flow. Ruck more of a battle. The NH refs is much more strict and technical at ruck time.

            The replacement for Marx (Fourie) is a specialist poacher.

                Yup I was cheering France and BOK was fine. The French choked, they didn't have calmness at all- especially under pressure. Kwagga was a game-changer

                Kwagga cracks me up- he looks like the Boks were a man short for the match so they just grabbed some oke off his farm on the way to the ground. No emotion, just rips in and gets shit done.

                  After watching the replay again (at ~29 mins) I still think that Reinach is offside as Libbok looks to have got a touch from Penaud's kick.

                  Poor from the AR.

                      Hahaha. Wonderfully colourful description.
                      Yes, At first observation Kwagga just doesn't strike you as a guy who will make an impact. But he has such mongrel in him, he punches way above his relatively small size. And all in that "meh, just in a days work" kind of way.

                        Not sure which Saffas you've been dealing with. DDA is very highly rated with all the Saffa fans I interact with.

                              DDA gets a bit of grief on here but i think he's fantastic. He gave the Irish midfield kittens, he was huge today as well. That try was good fucking work.
                              Jodie Barrett is effectively lanky DDA and yet he's loved.

                              Even the Saffas used to give DDA shit. Although not so much now I assume.

                              Why ? He’s surely been one of if not the best 12 in the world for years.

                              Not sure which Saffas you've been dealing with. DDA is very highly rated with all the Saffa fans I interact with.

                              I know, that’s why I asked why.

                              Sorry @MN5 I was more agreeing with you and questioning the post you responded to 😉

                              No probs. I’ll cool my outrage in that case 😉

                                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.

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

                                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!

                                  @voodoo That Kolbe charge probably win us the test. Credit to our coaches who always go into detail analyzing. sadly this will go to Leinster after the WC.

                                    It's one thing for the ref to miss things. Another thing entirely for VAR to miss stuff. They seem so inconsistent in almost every game

                                        France hit back. Stadium explodes. What an atmosphere.

                                        How are any of these players still alive? 22 minutes in and I'm drained.

                                        French hooker is a fucking weapon

                                          There. That charge down from Kolbe. That's the difference
