RWC QF: France v South Africa

[kev]

Two very contrasting styles. Love the way the French play just didn’t deal with high kicks to wings.

Thought the reffing was fine.

@Victor-Meldrew yep, Boks absorbed alot of French inaccurate attack early in the 2nd half, French looked like they were close to opening them up, then SA stepped up a gear

[Frank]

Well done Japies, real finals side.

[sparky]

Kwagga Smith, what a player!

SA vs NZ final? #nojinx

Better get the chefs security clearances now.

Suzie's granddaughter might be a waitress in a French bistro.

SA vs England will be a cracking game, I imagine that there will be plenty coming over from England.

I hoped the French would win. The last thing I want is SA winning another RWC. Their fans and "journos" are already unbearable enough.

But France didn't really deserve to win. After such a great 1st half the 2nd was a bit disappointing

I was hoping for a France win but they didn't do enough

SA-NZ final, barring a big shock in the semis.

Dunno about their media, but I've generally found Saffa supporters pretty good

I think England might do a job on SA. Revenge for the final last time.

Ball is out but the Boks player was standing offside before he grabbed it.

BOK has spoiled a good performance with his last 10-15 minutes.

He’s been shit the whole game, is a terrible ref.

His first half was probably the best reffed half of the weekend.

I hate watching the Boks play when they go into their negative crap. Time for England to pull one out of the bag.

[taniwharugby]

@Victor-Meldrew I think most Saffas would distance themselves from Keohane and the shit he spouts, but he is included in the SA 'media'

I can see Saffas intentionally knocking on and then driving our scrum 50m backwards to score over and over again

[Bovidae]

So England are the only undefeated team left now.

[akan004]

Looks like SA will be winning their 4th RWC. Saffas are going to be unbearable if they do.

[sparky]

@Dodge I honestly think England’s forwards are better.

[Paekakboyz]

That was intense! nice to watch a game like that and not be involved. I feel for France but I'm also glad they are out.

[akan004]

That shallow dropkick that went straight into touch was so stupid. 5 minutes to go, you go long.

[gt12]

That game shows the need for a varied kicking game, the French looked great early when they varied it up with those short kicks, but once they went way from it the Saffas could just knock em over and the French starting panicking.

[Machpants]

Yeah, three major points. Can't catch high balls, rushed/inaccurate even on attack, and like Ireland out of ideas to close a close one

I hope WR look at the cheating fucking HIAs
