RWC: South Africa v Italy (Pool B)

[nakosi]

no it's gonna be a one way traffic

[Billy Webb]

I am expecting the first 40-50 minutes to be tight with the Boks pulling away in the last 30 minutes or so.
But my track record on predicting this sort of stuff is abysmal...

[Bones]

Unless Italy have a sneaky plan up their sleeves, Boks off to a big lead, then it evens up, Italy to score one or two around halftime, then boks to cruise home.

[Yeetyaah]

Cut off Herschel's face during the anthems. Dudes so little. 1.67m

[Stargazer]

I have no sound; anyone else having this problem? (Spark Sport)

[Stargazer]

F*ck, this is annoying.

[Bones]

There's that up the guts play from SA, as expected. Kolbe is going to go unused....

[pakman]

Play small fellas and keep ball in play. Bok gym bunnies will expire after 50 minutes?

[Frank]

Uncontested scrums if the replacement Italian prop goes off.
Boks don't want that.

[Stargazer]

Got sound back. It wasn't Spark Sport, but - apparently - a (Windows?) software update waiting to be installed.

[antipodean]

He may not know a forward pass but Barnes is a bloody good communicator.

[Stargazer]

Uncontested scrums. Hilarious!

[MiketheSnow]

SA to win by +30

[booboo]

Game is at midday SA time on Friday.
I have arranged for a braai and beers for all my staff so they can watch the game in true Saffer style.
You'd better bloomin well be right. Otherwise I am pouring water on the braai and making them all work overtime on the weekend.

Got the hose ready?

[Quo vadis]

Wayno just said uncontested from rest of game now, not just 10mins.

[antipodean]

The neck roll & clothesline refereeing is an utter lottery.

[MiketheSnow]

SA are not that smart are they.

Instead of running Italy ragged they're trying to beat them up

[Frank]

SA forwards seem too strong for Italy.
Not sure what Italy's strengths are.

He's no Michael Collins
