[2015 RWC] Semi Final 1: South Africa vs. New Zealand (24/10/2015)

[Dirty Ape]

Well, inaccurate and indisciplined at the breakdown. The set piece work has been pretty good - especially the lineouts.

 

[PacDuran]

Anyone else think that Read and Conrad Smith should both have been yellow in the first 15 minutes for high tackles? Read defs was a yellow on 6 mins and Conrad Smith shot out of the line and smashed a guy high around 11 mins.

Anyway the spirit of the Northern hemisphere is strong in this match. SA are playing fantastic defensively. All Blacks making a hell of a lot of mistakes, their back line is non-existent. They get nowhere then grubber. Repeat constantly.

Not a great match to be honest.

Pretty impressed by the saffas defence I knew it'd be good but they've been near perfect so far. I do feel other than the D and being able to draw a penalty theres not much else of substance to them.

Come on boys! Keep your focus!

Sloppy 1st half, SA defending well.

Kaino was stupid.

Why are we kicking so much and wtf at the execution.

Typical NZ resorting to Drop goals.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Smooth from Carter!

 

[austingtir]

So why is that not a yellow for Habana?

 

[KeyboardWorrier]

Yellow for sure

 

[wayevs]

Bloody silly habana

 

[Tony Manx]

Because he tripped himself up and fell onto him?

Scudder milked it though!

 

[TommiG88]

How was that even a pen? Skudder was slowing deliberately.

Damn South Africa's kicking is appalling.

 

[Tony Manx]

Barrit is a goid move in these conditions!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

SA are losing this ATM.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Good try.
