I think the ABs might be happier to face SA than France if they get that far.
Hm we beat Ireland who beat SA who beat France who beat us. What a circle of life.Or simple, less philosophical guys like me just call it Rock, Paper, Scissors.

DDA gets a bit of grief on here but i think he's fantastic. He gave the Irish midfield kittens, he was huge today as well. That try was good fucking work.
Jodie Barrett is effectively lanky DDA and yet he's loved.Don't see DDA kicking for touch or taking goal kicks.

This really pleased me.
Jordie did exactly what we hoped for, with extras.
Carried hard into contact straight.
Defeneded well
Kicked monster penaltiesand added to that with a try saving move that ultimately won us the game

Oh and the ref has been great.
Yup I was cheering France and BOK was fine. The French choked, they didn't have calmness at all- especially under pressure. Kwagga was a game-changer
Kwagga cracks me up- he looks like the Boks were a man short for the match so they just grabbed some oke off his farm on the way to the ground. No emotion, just rips in and gets shit done.
Nick Mallett revealing how Rasnaber measure players: Battle Stats.
Turns out, Kwagga has the best Battle Stats in the world.

Rarely see a scrum called from a mark. Clever if you've got the dominant scrum
Interesting listening to Rassie. They identified the last time they played France that there wasn't many scrums, so they wanted to take opportunities to try to tire them and force them to move across the field, rather than their preferred option of presenting a defensive line or launching from a lineout.

The one extra thing I wish they'd ask him to do is kick massive touch finders when we are exiting deep in our own half

I thought it odd at the time they did not check it, perhaps they simply did not have the footage but you would think that would be standard. Anytime someone can block a conversion surely they need to check if they were onside. I guess we will never know if he would have kicked the conversion but that is not the point. I do wonder if they will introduce the offside technology they use in soccer in Rugby when chasing kicks etc.
