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?

@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.

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

[BerniesCorner]

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.

@taniwharugby In the men’s RWC Final. An English woman got a RC in the women’s final last year.

I get that Cane should have been smarter. But it’s the lack of consistency that f&*ks me off. Similar has been seen in this tournament without it being upgraded to a red. So much of this seems subjective. And when the opposing team gets away with something of similar nature you realise the game is cooked. You just can’t have the pinnacle of world sport blighted by lottery-like decisions by unaccountable nobodies in back rooms. It’s a joke.

[The Irishman]

Looking at the red card in real time, it really looks like fuck all. Slowed down of course gives the ref no option. But its disappointing that the biggest game of the world cup is all about Barnes and the TMO.
