France v South Africa
-
Commentators had even given the game to France talking about what a great armistice day gesture it would be.Nek minute..credit to the Boks for showing composure.

Feel bad for France. Boks score in the 85th min to steal it at the death
The French wing just had to knock the ball in field and then run the ball out at the end. Hard to know how much time was left I guess. France put up a good fight but South Africa did look the better team.

Really? I thought France looked the best they’ve been in a while. Confrontational at the ruck, working hard in the middle of the field and not shirking the grunt.
Well done to the Boks though to get it at the death.

Agreed. France looked better than anything I recall recently. The Boks remain an enigma to me. Something good is definitely incubating, but just when you think it is going to come together they mix in sloppy and stupid play.
Elton Jantjes not finding the touchline from the penalty just before the hooter was an absolute shocker. Boks massively lucky, by a second or two to get an ongoing crack.
But then big ups to them for being composed and clinical to get the winning try.
As I said... a real enigma

Who was the commentator? Sorry to say, but I thought he struggled quite a bit on his own. Quite late in calling who had the ball.

The French 14 Thomas butchered a load of chances by seeking contact

Not everyone has the luxury of Justin Marshall to fall back on for some expert comments

@arhs not to sure whom the guy was,I watch a bit of the Gallagher Premiership and have not heard this fella before,sounded like a caller that had come across from another code..and yes you are right,it’s a bit of a tough gig to call a game on your own..

Yes, it seemed a bit like he was a comments man called in to be main commentator at the last minute.
