RWC: Japan v South Africa (QF 4)

[Rebound]

@Tim hence I said he reminded me why he's a shit ref. He gave the Boks a penalty at scrum because Japan prop buts hand on floor. A few scrums later Boks looseleaf does the same thing yet Bok penalty. To me that's a clear biased

Is it possible for the Beast to be cited for that tackle even if it was just a YC?

Absolutely. For any offence that isn't even penalised eg Hodge

He's on hands and knees, with at least 2 players hanging on to him. That's held.

Only need a hand on him to be held. He releases the ball: play on

Yeah, but.. I've seen plenty like this one let go too.

Like I said somewhere else: want consistency? Don't watch Rugby 😉

I don't want consistency, Nick. I want my position to be viewed as correct, regardless, and supported by the officials. Is that too much to ask? 😏

@ACT-Crusader that's going to be the pointer. Same with Welsh guy is they get cited. What does it say about the two refs

Was that the one when he was saying the penalty was for the loosehead going to ground when the loosehead on the side that went to ground was the South African one?

Thanks Japan. You made my tournament.

Fxxkin' loved it.
And loved the reaction of the players... it wasn't “shit, we're so happy to be here”... it was “shit, we were this close to being in the semi”.
Not even a thought of not being a serious contender.
You beautiful magnificent little bastards... good play.

[The Irishman]

Well done to the boks, result as expected really. Look forward to seeing you play England in the final. 😁

I hope SANZAAAAAAR and World Rugby follow this up, it would be a desperate shame to have a nominally tier two host with their economic power top their pool and unite a nation so well to fuck it all up.

Mission accomplished by the Boks.
Despite Barnes trying his best to keep Japan in the game.
He can piss right off. You don’t ref for the home favorite underdog. You fucking ref the game without giving one team the constant benefit of the doubt.

Rant done.

Well done to Japan for a good run in the tournament.

You must be referring to him not yellow / red carding Mutsushima?

I'd take a YC for Matsushima if Mtawarira got a RC

Of course you would. It would help you when we meet you later in the tournament.
But someone posted vids of both incidents above in this thread.
If you genuinely hold the view that Beasts was more dangerous, then I can’t help you.

Hmmm. I wonder whether he had gone upstairs for Mtawarira's tip tackle, the outcome would not have been different. This was a big decision and it was not in Japan's favour.

[Billy Webb]

Now that I have calmed down a touch:

Thought the Boks were inaccurate in the first half.
Two potential scoring opportunities messed up through poor skills.
We can’t afford that next week against Wales.

On the positive side, the best game I have seen from de Allende in ages. And very happy with our fitness. Last 20 the Bok power came through for us. But we will need to be better next week if we want to progress.

Beast was very lucky, and the pleading look on his face told you that he knew his cup future was at risk

I'm simply applying the WR thresholds. I don't care if you've got Mtawarira on the field. I think he's like a number of players in that he's judged on reputation based on certain games. Current form means more to me. I don't rate him as much as some people do right now.

His loss shouldn't mean much to South Africa if they're judging/ selecting on form.

I give Wales zero chance. You are in the final. Hopefully we see you there for the 100th match between our nations.

France would have been an interesting game. I think you will squash Wales.
