Maybe an early red card for a big SA forward (i.e Etzebeth or Vermeulen) could change the probable outcome of this QF.
A red card for any Bok would cause problems.
Same applies to Japan and in fact every team playing in the Quarters.
I really hope cards do not play a role in any of these games - but given the track record to date that is 99% unrealistic. -

Go the Brave Blossoms, may the fairytale continue.
This is going to be a tough one for the Boks - and not least from a support perspective.
All of Japan will be backing the Blossoms.
And pretty much every neutral fan with a rugby soul will be supporting the Blossoms. As they absolutely should.The Boks will have to get through this one as the villains.

But seriously you'd only pick up neutral votes if you were paying us surely? You being next in line for historical dominance and all.

Years of training and conditioning booboo.
Except when we play against Aussie or England. Then sometimes we get some love from the neutrals.
Think it has less to do with us though ...

Barnes is the ref for this quarter final

@antipodean One of the 2 I would have wanted so remind me of that when / if I whinge about him after the game
(Other one would have been Nigel Owens).

I really hope cards do not play a role in any of these games - but given the track record to date that is 99% unrealistic.Avoiding Skeeny as your TMO has helped you on this front.
England vs Oz looks most likely to be affected by a red card.

England must be due a "controversial" card

You couldn't really call it controversial with that team of officials....

No you couldn't - "expected" might be a better word, and England have Farrell.
Probably get told off as these comments are all in the wrong thread.
