France vs Springboks

There was a penalty advantage so if they do say momentum had stopped and he needed to place the ball before the try, it will be still France ball.

Stargazer

@taniwharugby Didn't look like he propelled himself forward; looked like it was one of his teammates.

How does that try stand when he's clearly propelling himself forward with the arm not holding the ball?

@ACT-Crusader double movement surely

What is this thing called double movement? That’s not in the game played in heaven

taniwharugby

@Stargazer nah, looked like he made the movement to me.

Toddy

Barnes spotted a forward pass

taniwharugby

@Toddy the call supposedly came from his AR, no replay given though

Feel like reffing has screwed game since the 70.

Yes, you can see the AR tell Barnes, and it was thrown forward because Le Roux had almost no forward momentum.

taniwharugby

Barnes does so well so often, but also seems to miss some real straight forward stuff too.

France take it

What a game. Well done France. Hard luck once again SA.

That wasn’t

Must have failed physics in school

Crazy match.

56 points and 3 cards. That’s rugby in 2022.

@ACT-Crusader the sad thing, for the future of rugby, is that one remained a good game despite the RCs

Tordah

Exciting game, RC for Post Stress Disorder Traumatic well deserved, the Frenchie's was accidental but they are RCs nowadays. Good fight, surely France have to be WC favourites now.

Geez I enjoyed that game, Proper test match. I actually think both teams would be reasonably happy, Boks held on down at 14 men, and came back when numbers evened up, YC probably the nail in coffin. French were pretty good and generally went well I thought.

ARHS

Found that very frustrating. Wayne Barnes did his best but not sure he got good support from the rest of his team. Looked like a double movement to me. 2 reds is very disappointing. Game becoming a bit of a lottery.

So, France are now at 12 wins in a row, pretty impressive considering the teams they have played in that run. Are they a chance at beating the record and winning the World Cup?
