RWC Final: All Blacks v Springboks

[nostrildamus]

Give it to Telea, they have trouble tackling him. wow, hard to believe with one yellow and one red we are only down 6

[Mattasaurus]

Clearly 50/50s going against ABs.

No issues with Sam's card.

1st card was utterly rigged...quick find something...utter BS.

"Glancing head contact" suddenly not even a YC...

That said we should kicking ball out more.

Pick and goes need to be the 1st thought... And milk the shit out of the BOKs not rolling away.

[kiwiinmelb]

Their sub hooker has the wobbles , have to try and take advantage

[DMX]

Given the way that this is being reffed a Bok red not out of the question.

[Tordah]

The Deon Fourie turnover was ridiculous, Barnes is not refereeing the breakdown at all. Boks looking very good and winning the collisions. Great to see the stadium behind the ABs.

[ACT Crusader]

We are absolutely still in this.

If you want to post crap and just put the team down, go to planet spew or GAGR

[taniwharugby]

@nostrildamus wasnt that similar to the 'friendly' at Twickers?

[Tim]

That was an absolute bullshit red card

[No Quarter]

Were still half in it because SA are fucking terrible at scoring points, but it'll take a heroic effort

[mariner4life]

Positives
Nothing has gone right and we are down 6 points
Defensive lineout

Negatives
Everything else pretty much

Losing in contact, losing the kicking game, losing the whistle.

But out typical dumb kicking tactics don't have us kicking out

[Billy Tell]

Not that I’ve calmed down. We are generally the only team trying to play rugby. We now have their line out under pressure. We must get rid of all poor discipline 2nd half. We need to play in their half. Do we sacrifice frizzell to bring on paps?

then we should win as we apparently have all the learnings

[nostrildamus]

is there such a thing as glancing head contact? I thought there was only black and white-head contact or not?

[Stag]

@Tim unfortunately it wasn’t. Yellow was bollocks but that red was justified. Boks should have had at least one yellow as well.

Correct

[Dodge]

South Africa playing their usual knock out rugby, play in the other teams end, huge pressure on and around the breakdown, great line speed, great kick chase, wait for a mistake.

Yeah we really just need the cards to keep flowing at this point. Hopefully it ends 13 vs 12 or something and Rieko and Jordan are running rings around them.

[sparky]

Cane was upright. He made connection with the head. The RC was the right decision given the directives, I’m afraid.

[Tim]

Get Papalii and Taukeiaho on the field immediately. We have no go forward.
