RWC QF: France v South Africa
-
@NTA Disagree. Ireland having it at the death and Jordie’s try saver give that match the edge for me. Although the first 40 of last night’s game might be better than the 80. A great game but not as good imho because France clearly choked like gagging dogs. Ireland gave it everything.

@MiketheSnow if you just dropped into planet earth to watch last night and someone told you after the game that the best player in the world was the French #9 you’d be thinking ‘hmmmmm’. If you want to be an all time great you step forward and have your best game in games like that. He’s still got time.

I think the ABs might be happier to face SA than France if they get that far.
Hm we beat Ireland who beat SA who beat France who beat us. What a circle of life. -

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.Don't see DDA kicking for touch or taking goal kicks.

@Rancid-Schnitzel or holding up hookers over the line 😬

Well THAT he could do, he’s a midfield beast to be fair.

This really pleased me.
Jordie did exactly what we hoped for, with extras.
Carried hard into contact straight.
Defeneded well
Kicked monster penaltiesand added to that with a try saving move that ultimately won us the game

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.

Turns out, Kwagga has the best Battle Stats in the world.

Rarely see a scrum called from a mark. Clever if you've got the dominant scrum
Interesting listening to Rassie. They identified the last time they played France that there wasn't many scrums, so they wanted to take opportunities to try to tire them and force them to move across the field, rather than their preferred option of presenting a defensive line or launching from a lineout.

The one extra thing I wish they'd ask him to do is kick massive touch finders when we are exiting deep in our own half
