[2015 RWC] Quarter Final 1: South Africa vs. Wales (17/10/2015)

[merlinux]

wow, exciting game. good call on wales for the droppy. I like both teams but I hope Wales will come out winners, with a bit more of "welsh flair"

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Congrats to Wales at your half time lead, but whingeing about the ref already? Are you New Zealand supporters in disguise? Anyway let's hope for a cracking second half.

Corrected that for you.

SA choosing to play minimal rugby - they will have to step things up in the 2nd half. Has the ball gone past de Allende in the backs?

 

[shtove]

No. The laws should be applied. A forward pass is illegal so should never be allowed.

I only saw one forward passed missed, and the receiving Saffer got bundled into touch. Most passes delivered by a running player travel forward from the point of release - you have to take account of momentum.

Anyway, chaos at the breakdown. Neither of these teams is winning the RWC.

Lol

 

[profitius]

Cracking contest so far. Big test for the Boks coming up.

 

[KeyboardWorrier]

I think Wales will tire and SA will still win with comfortable 10pt win.

 

[welshpete]

I think Wales will tire....

This probably isn't the issue, we may throw it away, play badly or just not step up, but fitness usually isn't a problem...

 

[TheOvalBall]

Seriously doubting the Boks ability to win this game. They are so poor.

I would not describe it as cracking!!

Workmanlike but far too many mistakes and SA are worse after than before the break!!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Depends if you count failed crossfields

 

[Redcatstorm]

SA is getting on top here

- - - Updated - - -

if he keeps missing kicks this might get interesting

Pollard's got the yips at the worst possible time.

 

[KeyboardWorrier]

Wales getting very tired. So tired one has gone to sleep on the field.

 

[Tony Manx]

Not a chance of Wales tiring more than the Boks....they have being monster training for this for years!!

Pollard's miss-kicks are now a serious problem for the Boks and not sure how anyone says they seem to have more control. They have had more ball but they have done little really with it!!

I have to say you do a fantastic job living up to the username.

 

[overtheborder]

Wales are showing great determination here, and I don't mean in the patronising way used to describe a team who aren't expected to win. Still a chance here.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Gareth Davies is such a gimp, he'll cop a much deserved slap one day.

 

[Redcatstorm]

Consistency is key good reffing for once
