I for one am disappointed. SA vs FRA is more appetising than Wales. I haven’t sent anything from Wales this RWC to suggest they’ll beat SA.

I would have liked to see SA v ENG. Reckon that would be a hard battle of similar styles.

jesus be careful what you wish for!!

It ain't going to happen.

Hopefully not because Wales will beat the Boks....

At least the 4th World Cup in a row with a controversial quarterfinal

2007 - obvious
2011 - Bryce Lawrence in the Boks/Wallabies quarter (Bryce couldn't referee in South Africa after that I believe?)
2015 - Craig Joubert and Wallabies/Scotland finale
2019 - Wales/France.

Barnes just did what always does. Refs it as he feels it.

Has it’s pluses and minuses.

Check out the video under 'red card' (Fekitoa on Ireland), and then explain why Wales didn't cop one as well?

Wales went down to 14 men against France in the 2011 SF but could have, and should have, won.

They played dumb rugby and lost.

If Wales win this they won’t win the SF
Not on this performance

This performance won’t matter one iota if they win.

You’ve just gotta get there and start again.

Wales have very little chance of beating the Boks they can’t handle pressure and won’t handle the Boks up front one sided game coming

I guess Peyper won't referee a game in France in a near future after this shot. He would be "persona non grata".

Hearing that it's apparently photoshopped? Weirdly massive arm, hand on the shoulder is lower res than rest of the photo?

Still think it's legit.

It's not surprising to a see a referee with disproportionate biceps when they regularly are raising on arm for penalties much more than the other.

Stupid move from Peyper. World Rugby will probably give him the Final now.

Let's just take a moment to consider how self unaware the moron is who posted the picture online. Jacques says thanks mate! Nice reward for playing along for your joke.
