Etzebeth is playing a blinder.

@taniwharugby said in France vs Springboks:
I'd like WR to change the rules so that once the ball is under the 8s feet, the scrum is all but over and teams cannot hold it and play for a penalty, if something happens then, is a free kick or reset instead of a penalty.
What if the scrum is going forward and the defending front row collapses to prevent a pushover try?
@Frye I did say all but over, although TBF, more often they collapse due to pressure, not deliberate, which is where I have an issue with playing for pens.
But I guess like alot, rules are looked at differently in different parts of the field, I mean you arent gonna try march up the field at scrum time from 80 are you, you are playing for a pen.

This game is brutal. France are stringing a heap of players together at the ruck to give Dupont unobstructed clearing kicks.
-
Scrappy first half with both teams playing a defensive style with a lot of kicking. Boks have already had 12 lineouts (lost 3 of them).
That PSDT clean out was very reckless. A red mist moment for sure.
Boks do scramble well defensively when down a player so it will likely come down to whether France know how to create space. They will need to change their tactics a bit because I think they got sucked in a bit to playing too narrow. What I will say about France is that I don’t think they mind playing defence on this Springbok attack.

Sheesh that fall was ugly. Another RC

that changes things, massively

A YC coming if France give another penalty away

Should be YC
France imploding -
What a fantastic match
-
France did well to disrupt that maul set up but Boks recycle quick and get a try on the blindside wing.
-
Here we go
SA have been fantastic
@MiketheSnow yeah they have played pretty smart
SA take the lead
-
Dumb kick by Faf. You had a roll on and penalty advantage. French defence was at 6s and 7s.
-
What a terrible call by Barnes. French player slips a tackle and gets penalised for not releasing the ball
@canefan didnt really slip the tackle, he still went to deck, was a quick movement, looked like the defender was always in contact, albeit no longer hands/arms
