RWC Final: All Blacks v Springboks

[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.

[No Quarter]

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

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.

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?

yes as we need more speed to cover Cane, risky but we have to risk.

[taniwharugby]

@Tim especially as Taylor has been average so far.

[Machpants]

Izzie is almost crying

[Tim]

@taniwharugby Taylor has been dog shit. This team was lucky to get to the final.

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

Correct

hard to diagree but the Bok did dip and swerve back into Cane a tad

[mariner4life]

South Africa are defending us well out wide, but we're getting huge gains in close. Attack close to the ruck, suck them in

We can't squeeze this game, we need to open it up.
Settle Taylor down and get our lineout sorted and we can score enough points to win this

[LABCAT]

Dagg super grumpy.

[Billy Tell]

We can really target their Lineout as their spare hooker is already on.

[canefan]

Replay of Frizell's incident, his head clashed with a Kitzhoff, also incidental. Wasn't even looking at Bongo. Fucken bullshit

[Yeetyaah]

Talk your shit Dagg let ya nuts hang

[Mattasaurus]

Have to agree with Izzy on Frizzle...but the rest is whinging

[taniwharugby]

We seem to be doing too much movement in setting the lineout, get a few to #2 and regain confidence in it.

We lost 2 of our own in thier 22, cannot win doing that

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Fat lady hasn't sung yet. But there can be no margin for error. If the Boks were willing to go for the knock out blow then I'd say game over. But they won't. They'll grind. Hopefully that will be their undoing and our salvation. Ah fark this stress

[Tim]

We will lose, that much is clear, unless SA gets a red card.

Cane had one career great game against Ireland, absolute shit most of the time.

[Chris B.]

Yellow on Frizell was total bullshit. Cane's red is fair enough.

PSDT has been outstanding.

We've looked a bit rattled. Still in it, but it will be bloody tough.

Need to score an early try and get our noses in front.

[Tordah]

Weird they didn't look at Ebne leading with the extedned elbow on Cane's head, especially with the TMO looking at everything
