@sparky What happened?
winning drop goal from Ireland, several Boks run toward the ref claiming obstruction on a kick chasing kolbe. ref uses tmo and kolbe just slipped on the turf
-
@game_film An obvious dive.

Well played Ireland. The warning signs were there… Farrell saying it was Irelands most important game ever, bok lethargic start. They fought back well and looked to have it in the bag when I thought for sure it was Irelands to lose. The 1 point loss puts SA in good company

Kolbe should have had a YC for that shit and the remonstration afterwards
Hopefully the citing officer will intervene
Slippery slope otherwise

As if… “Madiba” Kolisi has them covered for every discretion for the foreseeable

I guess at some point we were bound to lose one of these one pointers sooner or later. Pity it wasn’t extremely much more later but also unbelievably grateful it wasn’t any sooner.
Ireland were incredible. Streetwise, gutsy and stubbornly refused to accept that the scoreboard should reflect the relative playing abilities of the sides. Scrum was particularly impressive.
Young SFM had a helluva game and Williams played better than I thought he was capable of.
The rest of the boks … not surprised they wanted to fight after the final whistle. F all tactical sense, shite timing and dimwitted options from minute 1-80. Why would a whistle change that in minute 81?

What a bunch of flogs.
I hope Kolbe cops assholes for throwing his arms out dramatically after he slips.Hell of a droppie to win a game like that
-
Interesting one. Guess only Uncle Cheslin knows. But I doubt he dived, might have slipped but felt he was knocked off course somehow.
Irish player’s hips did sway ever so slightly towards him though!
But good call from the ref. Ireland so well coached. Razor thin margins at the top level. Feels a bit silly only playing 2 games.

The aspect of Irish play that's nice to watch is how often they have bodies in motion. The only try scored in this match was beautifully set up. The rest of the game was a contest in asserting defensive dominance.
Nice to see a team set up a match winning drop goal too. Kolbe should be ashamed of himself taking the barest of nudges and sprawling - this from a player with some of the best balance and steps in world rugby.

Penalty at 3.48 was given, but ball appears to come off a Bok hand, not an Irish hand. (or is that still offside anyway?)

No, just an egregious error by the ref.
