RWC: Wales v South Africa (SF2)

[sparky]

Not strong feelings on this one either way, but looking forward to it.

[Tim]

Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus:
On how his team's feeling...
"They're excited but they're nervous as well, the last couple of years we haven't done too well and we're not too experienced in these situations if you look at our squad. We're very excited but certainly some butterflies."
On how they've been building going into this one...
"We've got some good momentum coming into this game, but they do as well, winning the Six Nations. The only way we can get momentum is on the field, and I guess that will be determined in the first 10-15 minutes."

@Luigi said in RWC: Wales v South Africa (SF2):

Very conflicted for this one.
Supporting my welsh pals in the pub, but don't know who I want England to face. Head says SA should win. My bones know Wales can prevail.
Will go with the flow I guess, but may find myself cheering a bit louder for the celts.

It's a win win isn't it old mate?

You have Welsh mates, and I think you'd have a much easier ride against them in the final.

I however will be supporting SA, I think that final against your mob will be brutal.

Yeah, that's going to have some big collisions.

That feeling when you're still in the game

[chimoaus]

Nic dart by Faf, Wales under pressure early.

[MiketheSnow]

Lovely tackle Wainwright

[sparky]

Bad mistake by Willie Le Roux.

Must be the luckiest BOK player, hasn’t been in good touch for awhile.

[sparky]

Love Wales' lineout work.

[MiketheSnow]

High tackle from PSDT missed

Yeah fucking obvious too

[sparky]

Wales will be glad to have got through the early Springbok storm.

[Disgusted of TW]

Probably because my adrenalin levels are way down from yesterday, but this feels quite a bit slower than the 1st SF
