RWC QF: France v South Africa

[NTA]

That French kid wearing 11 is soooo fucking good

[NTA]

Kwagga - arm on the ground but got it off the deck before BOK saw it. Huge.

[NTA]

Ramos fucks the 22 restart. Unhappy night.

More unforced errors from France

[NTA]

Can't help but think the reserve scrum half for France with 10 to go would have been a good idea. Dupont looked knackered

[NTA]

Fuck what a game tho. Slightly better than ABs v Ireland but not much in it

Huge mistake from Galt

[game_film]

@NTA Disagree. Ireland having it at the death and Jordie’s try saver give that match the edge for me. Although the first 40 of last night’s game might be better than the 80. A great game but not as good imho because France clearly choked like gagging dogs. Ireland gave it everything.

[game_film]

@MiketheSnow if you just dropped into planet earth to watch last night and someone told you after the game that the best player in the world was the French #9 you’d be thinking ‘hmmmmm’. If you want to be an all time great you step forward and have your best game in games like that. He’s still got time.

[stodders]

@game_film he’s been injured for 3 weeks! Superhuman effort from him IMO

[game_film]

@stodders Yeah, of course, you know where I’m coming from though. Great effort, but probably should have brought him off the bench.

[Dodge]

I thought he was brilliant in the first half, seemed to tire in the second.

[nostrildamus]

I think the ABs might be happier to face SA than France if they get that far.
Hm we beat Ireland who beat SA who beat France who beat us. What a circle of life.

[sparky]

France really tied themselves in knots in the last fifteen minutes. They were strangely uptight.

French sides of old would have had a cigarette at half time and would have been more relaxed.

Or simple, less philosophical guys like me just call it Rock, Paper, Scissors.

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.

Don't see DDA kicking for touch or taking goal kicks.

[stodders]

@Rancid-Schnitzel or holding up hookers over the line

Well THAT he could do, he’s a midfield beast to be fair.

[stodders]

@MN5 he might be able to. Not sure his legs are long enough like Jordie’s

This really pleased me.

Jordie did exactly what we hoped for, with extras.
Carried hard into contact straight.
Defeneded well
Kicked monster penalties

and added to that with a try saving move that ultimately won us the game
