He allow the game to flow. Ruck more of a battle. The NH refs is much more strict and technical at ruck time.
The replacement for Marx (Fourie) is a specialist poacher.
like for like then!

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.

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.Even the Saffas used to give DDA shit. Although not so much now I assume.
Why ? He’s surely been one of if not the best 12 in the world for years.

Hahaha. Wonderfully colourful description.
Yes, At first observation Kwagga just doesn't strike you as a guy who will make an impact. But he has such mongrel in him, he punches way above his relatively small size. And all in that "meh, just in a days work" kind of way. -

Not sure which Saffas you've been dealing with. DDA is very highly rated with all the Saffa fans I interact with.

No probs. I’ll cool my outrage in that case

Surely the WC chokers tag can never be applied to us now after this weekend of semi-finals ...
Gutted for France. But they didn't deserve it, the Boks did.
> Amazing that Kolbe'e charge down was the difference.
Boks with an awesome backline is a scary prospect. Kolbe was unreal tonight
I said at the time that it was amazing that we didn't see a single replay to confirm whether he left early or not - other providers may have, but you'd think that would be the easiest thing for a TMO to quickly check? We check every other bloody thing!
Here is some footage, thanks Andy
