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

@voodoo That Kolbe charge probably win us the test. Credit to our coaches who always go into detail analyzing. sadly this will go to Leinster after the WC.

It's one thing for the ref to miss things. Another thing entirely for VAR to miss stuff. They seem so inconsistent in almost every game

[NTA]

Jeez France not dealing well with the high ball. Now back watching and two tries to the Boks

[NTA]

France hit back. Stadium explodes. What an atmosphere.

How are any of these players still alive? 22 minutes in and I'm drained.

French hooker is a fucking weapon

[NTA]

There. That charge down from Kolbe. That's the difference

[NTA]

I'd love a close-up of Jesse Kriel going into contact with the ball. Looks like a forearm to me.

[NTA]

France making so many mistakes. Boks in again

[NTA]

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

[NTA]

This is Kolbe v Dupont

[stodders]

@NTA any hint of interference from Arendse in the first try? He bumps the French player into Fickou who misses the catch and then picks up the spilled ball.

"Clatterball" is a mess, regardless.

[NTA]

50:26 that's wrong, sorry BOK. Not a knock on from Kitshoff - that was one hand deliberately knocking it out of DuPont's hand. Penalty.

[NTA]

Oh wow the touch finder from Jallibert loses ground. Terrible

[NTA]

Huge scrum from the Boks. Love to see the overhead angle as side on showed nothing. Snyman going hard

[NTA]

That French kid wearing 11 is soooo fucking good

[NTA]

Kwagga - arm on the ground but got it off the deck before BOK saw it. Huge.

[NTA]

Ramos fucks the 22 restart. Unhappy night.

More unforced errors from France

[NTA]

Can't help but think the reserve scrum half for France with 10 to go would have been a good idea. Dupont looked knackered

[NTA]

Fuck what a game tho. Slightly better than ABs v Ireland but not much in it
