Weird they didn't look at Ebne leading with the extedned elbow on Cane's head, especially with the TMO looking at everything

Yes, I noticed that live. South Africa seem to live a charmed life with this stuff

@Tordah I noticed that in real time, just another random head contact that is sometimes ruled on, sometimes not

Half time coverage, that’s when I hit the off button on the TV.

Fat lady hasn't sung yet. But there can be no margin for error. If the Boks were willing to go for the knock out blow then I'd say game over. But they won't. They'll grind. Hopefully that will be their undoing and our salvation. Ah fark this stress

We score a try after the half and everything changes. They are just sitting waiting to profit from our mistakes

Foster first, first team to score a try in rwc final versus boks

Sam Cane, one good game in four years, better make him captain. That is why Foster can fuck off.

You’ve said the same thing about ten times in a row now

[sparky]

We are paying for a lack of physicality and discipline. Foster never sorted out either.

Go through the middle, muscle up, kick for the corners, big sub impact. Smart rugby can still win this.

Tim please think of the Chiefs supporters.

@Machpants is that the first red card in a RWC final?

This post is deleted!

@MN5 And I am right. One big win every year doesn't make it wrong.

Yep.

[KiwiMurph]

The difference in quality of kicking game between the two teams is night and day.

[Stag]

I’d love to have Blackadder on the beach to bring on in the second half.

[broughie]

Dumb that the ABs put themselves in this position. Thought it would come from SB though.

The game is fucked with the rules as is. Understand intent to protect the head but I would be just as irate if this happened to the Boks. Game ruined. So if we keep it close a moral victory? I say fuck it and sportsmanship and go postal. Not normally my response but I am filthy right now.

Ben Smith had the only card in RWC finals history before the first YC tonight

Sami, SW, Paps , SB 6, TW go 8 forwards
Pick n go
This is Petone into the wind

We all know rugby is a card lottery. We are only 6 points down.

[Billy Tell]

SA are offering nothing. They ran it with intent once. Just have to play mistake free and disciplined rugby. Go thru the middle a little bit more.
