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.

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.

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.

> Amazing that Kolbe'e charge down was the difference.

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!

Here is some footage, thanks Andy

@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

[NTA]

Jeez France not dealing well with the high ball. Now back watching and two tries to the Boks

[NTA]

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

[NTA]

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

[NTA]

I'd love a close-up of Jesse Kriel going into contact with the ball. Looks like a forearm to me.

[NTA]

France making so many mistakes. Boks in again

[NTA]

Rarely see a scrum called from a mark. Clever if you've got the dominant scrum

[NTA]

This is Kolbe v Dupont

[stodders]

@NTA any hint of interference from Arendse in the first try? He bumps the French player into Fickou who misses the catch and then picks up the spilled ball.

"Clatterball" is a mess, regardless.

[NTA]

50:26 that's wrong, sorry BOK. Not a knock on from Kitshoff - that was one hand deliberately knocking it out of DuPont's hand. Penalty.

[NTA]

Oh wow the touch finder from Jallibert loses ground. Terrible

[NTA]

Huge scrum from the Boks. Love to see the overhead angle as side on showed nothing. Snyman going hard
