[RWC2023 QF4] France vs South Africa (15/10/2023)

[Bada-Bing!]

What intensity, we go blow for blow.
Grâce à l'expulsion d'Etzebeth, la France va creuser l'écart.
This is clearly the best semi-final so far.

Best Quarter final so far.

TMO: "Ben I've looked at this for you and can confirm that Green 4 is roughly 5 feet taller than the player being tackled"

 

[Jer1cho]

We are in this. Yellow was so borderline but thats what I said would happen. We need more possession

This is actually a quarter final.

No wonder you're so bad at predictions. Can't even tell the difference between quarter and semi finals.

I'm thinking SA may rue carrying Pollard on the bench in case Labok has a mare. Those SA forwards arent used to and maybe not conditioned to play the minutes they're maybe going to tonight.

Atonio is 6'5. It's 3 inches difference. If Etzebeth can't get low on him then who can he tackle legally?

Very nervous

What Bullshit. Dont think these players arent conditioned. Please man.

 

[IT157]

I feel like Eben dropped to make the tackle, so it will stay yellow

 

[Grizwald]

What Bullshit. Dont think these players arent conditioned. Please man.

When's the last time SA had a 5:3 bench?

 

[OwenPB]

What's the story with the TMO tonight? Kriel leading with the elbow twice, both the DKO & the knock on from the kick for the first SA try, at least one neck roll that I've seen (and it's easy to miss stuff at the speed this game is going, breathless!!) , but still only 2 interventions: Possible offside on the try and the yellow.

You have a point sir!

 

[Stade Rochelais]

Il s'agit en fait d'un quart de finale.

Pas étonnant que tu sois si mauvais en prédictions. Je ne peux même pas faire la différence entre les quarts de finale et les demi-finales.

Drop and head charge only a yc, Faz will be practising that all week.

please man, like these players dont have franchises. Don't be ridiculous.

 

[Wichita]

Too bad we gave these soft tries, but we are still bossing this, the rucks are ours, the future looks bright

Kriel has got away with it all tournament

This is quite clearly a different level of intensity and pace to URC though.

I honestly think that if O'Keefe yells his decision enough times it's a signal to the TMO to shut up and stay out of it. That's the impression I got from the Etzebeth DKO.
