RWC QF: France v South Africa

[Dodge]

I thought he was brilliant in the first half, seemed to tire in the second.

[nostrildamus]

I think the ABs might be happier to face SA than France if they get that far.
Hm we beat Ireland who beat SA who beat France who beat us. What a circle of life.

[sparky]

France really tied themselves in knots in the last fifteen minutes. They were strangely uptight.

French sides of old would have had a cigarette at half time and would have been more relaxed.

DDA gets a bit of grief on here but i think he's fantastic. He gave the Irish midfield kittens, he was huge today as well. That try was good fucking work.
Jodie Barrett is effectively lanky DDA and yet he's loved.

Don't see DDA kicking for touch or taking goal kicks.

@Rancid-Schnitzel or holding up hookers over the line

Well THAT he could do, he’s a midfield beast to be fair.

[stodders]

@MN5 he might be able to. Not sure his legs are long enough like Jordie’s

This really pleased me.

Jordie did exactly what we hoped for, with extras.
Carried hard into contact straight.
Defeneded well
Kicked monster penalties

and added to that with a try saving move that ultimately won us the game

Oh and the ref has been great.

Yup I was cheering France and BOK was fine. The French choked, they didn't have calmness at all- especially under pressure. Kwagga was a game-changer

Kwagga cracks me up- he looks like the Boks were a man short for the match so they just grabbed some oke off his farm on the way to the ground. No emotion, just rips in and gets shit done.

Turns out, Kwagga has the best Battle Stats in the world.

Rarely see a scrum called from a mark. Clever if you've got the dominant scrum

Interesting listening to Rassie. They identified the last time they played France that there wasn't many scrums, so they wanted to take opportunities to try to tire them and force them to move across the field, rather than their preferred option of presenting a defensive line or launching from a lineout.

The one extra thing I wish they'd ask him to do is kick massive touch finders when we are exiting deep in our own half
