[RWC2023] South Africa vs Scotland (10/09/2023)

[saulan]

Libbok needs to just go on a hike and never come back.

And that try is why he shouldn’t. We just need someone else doing our kicking for poles. He is one of our best attacking threats.

 

[Jer1cho]

Now we hitting the rhythm

 

[Rinkadink]

Hopefully they are not dependent on the TV producer deciding to show them a replay!!!

 

[TopTen2003]

Horrible position for Scotland now. Suffocating rugby from the Boks- beautiful kick from Libbok and superbly executed.

 

[Bluemoon]

For the neutral in this game, I’d been keen to see Scotland get a try here.

Cue Scotland throwing a dreadful line out haha.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ok the scrum is doing what I expected now

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

I actually have no idea how a front row managed to scrummage with a hooker so much taller than both of his props. The dimensions just don’t make sense.

 

[Rinkadink]

Ok the scrum is doing what I expected now

Clear hit n chase though... then ref coached SA to advantageous engage as Fagerson was told to remain passive and hold.

I'd swap props anyway but ref clearly has his mind made up.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Apology time

Nah. His kicking from hand was never an issue. He sucks kicking from the tee though.

 

[paulg1506]

...why are they not checking that?
It was very similar to the Chile one earlier

Because it's not England

 

[AlRums]

The commentator needs a red card or shooting

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Ox and Trevor aren’t world class rugby players but they are world class scrummagers. Smart move to include them for World Cup type rugby.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The burst of acceleration from KLA to put two Scottish defenders, one of them a backrow, on their arses was a perfect display of physics
You'd expect someone of his size to be launched into the stands by the tacklers

[AlRums]

What a kick

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Credit where it’s due; that was outstanding from Finn.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Had forgotten Russell was playing before that kick.

 

[Groundhog]

Anyone still think Scotland are giantslayers?

 

[Jimbo]

Anyone still think Scotland are giantslayers?

Tbf I’m not convinced either Ireland or France can slay SA particularly if obvious card incidences are ignored.

 

[g6mcg]

Refereeing isn't the reason Scotland are losing, but I find it very hard to watch SA after Rassie's rant. Any generous calls make you wonder.
