@antipodean he is brilliant. You can tell he is a proud Irishman, but his love of the game trumps all.

Reinach and Libbok start - South Africa name team to play France in quarter-final ｜ Rugby World Cup 2023
South Africa head coach Jacques Nienaber has announced his squad to face France in Stade de France on Sunday 15 October.
Arguably the strongest backs bench in world rugby
Though I think Le.Roux is overrated, he does have his moments, once In pink-greenish moon. Pollard and de klerk are good, though

Those three will have a massive impact on the match

@MiketheSnow in a positive or negative way? 😬

Positive

@MiketheSnow so Willie definitely isn’t throwing the intercept pass then? 😉
-
This will be interesting...
-
@taniwharugby I’ll bet he has sensors in that scrum cap wired directly to the TMO booth 😂

When was the last time Faff was benched? Any way Le Roux is rocks and diamonds, and these days more rocks if under pressure.
This will be only the third time Cobus Reinach has started alongside Manie Libbok at half-back. Libbok has converted 55% of his kicks at goal at RWC 2023,

@stodders you'd think even a heavy chest hit is gonna send shudders through him...if it is a worry, he shouldn't be playing.
Aldritts quote was from a dumb question during the press conference. Implying the South Africans may target Dupont.

History says France wins this game and makes the final as their three previous RWC finals appearances were in 1987, 1999 and 2011 - every 12 years.
Where they lose to the ABs, as Oz are out already. Hopefully, history always repeats

Who wants France to win? Who is cheering for the Boks?
Frances totally. They've never won before, so if the abs don't win it, I hope they do. An exciting team to watch without the arse of a head coach
-
Think I want the French to win but happy to have another southern hemisphere team win as well. Just hoping it’s a classic quarterfinal to continue like the rest
