@stodders said in RWC QF: France v South Africa:

Hands on ground before going for ball (Aldritt excepted who is brilliant at pilfering), flopping on the tackler, lazy roll aways, side entries, encroaching offside.

Ireland thread is elsewhere.

[stodders]

@Bones Best teams do it I'm told. Advantage NH teams

[Bones]

@stodders it's gonna be a whitewash, all the SH teams are favourites at with betting agencies.

Unless you actually check of course.

BOK Is an excellent ref and hasn’t got the credit on these boards at least for the last couple years... Very happy to have him rather than Raynal….

[stodders]

@mantissanet You were never getting Raynal

[stodders]

For the SA crew:

[booboo]

@stodders said in RWC QF: France v South Africa:

@Rancid-Schnitzel If Fiji win their QF final with England, I hope they beat France as payback for the Paddy O'Brien refereeing tragedy that was the 1999 QF.

(Pool match)

[Bones]

SA are fucked now.

More inaccurate memes, who the fuck is Adam Buchanan? Even google doesn't help.

Help me Bones One Colby, you're my only hope

@Machpants I believe autocorrect fucked over the sky caption guy.

Their halfback. The cheek of it. You know him by name and product, he invented Lycra, Teflon, Kevlar, Freon, Lucite, Nylon...

Arguably the strongest backs bench in world rugby

[antipodean]

@pakman Excellent analysis and input from Bernard Jackman. Why can't our rugby media do anything like this?

[Frank]

5-3 bench.
What a pussy.

[Catogrande]

@Frank When I read that I automatically assumed 5 loosies and 3 props. What a surprise I got when I checked.

[stodders]

No place for Am. Slightly surprised at that, but then again, he hasn’t played since being called up. Not sure how he will get game time now though.

[stodders]

@antipodean he is brilliant. You can tell he is a proud Irishman, but his love of the game trumps all.
