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

[austingtir]

Just another example of Mccaw's greatness. This SA player tried to bite his arm. The boks player should get a week on the sideline.

I'll link to the planet rugby thread as I'll get banned if I say what I really think about this.

The best comment so far:

Brutal. Look how he blatantly does that thing that he did there.

 

[KeyboardWorrier]

I doubt it. There are probably a lot of other people who don't know much about rugby that think he's ****e.

 

[ncurd]

Need further angles on that and slo mo. Can't tell if hes elbowed him or not if he has to the head (as it looks like it could be) can't see him playing the final.

Since when did this thread turn into a BOD-NZ-wtf one?

Oh gosh it's so much worse now that I'm sober.

I shouldn't have stopped drinking beer

Prob shouldn't.

At least Sa did soo much better than what was thought after the Japan game.

Nothing in it IMO.

 

[KeyboardWorrier]

It'd be disappointing if he was found guilty, where other teams *cough* Wallabies *cough* have gotten away with 'dangerous play and misconduct' multiple times.

Well the Aussies would wouldnt they. They better be careful because they still have a tough game to play tomorrow and maybe the NZ media can play this game aswell? Pocock might try to bum some player halfway through the match and we'll have the video evidence of it.

I would say that he will be lucky to get away with that.

McCaw will probably be cited

I both doubt it and sincerely hope not!

 

[KeyboardWorrier]

To me, that looks bad. Very bad.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

He might have intended to do it, But he has done it in a way that I just can't see a citing panel finding it guilty (If it goes up to them).

Does he hit him in the Head? Louw doesn't seem to make any reaction to it.

 

[ncurd]

I think that's what needs to be adjudged the vine is too quick and too head on to get the depth perception to know where Mccaw struck Louw. Until I've seen more angles he'll have to be given the benefit of the doubt.

South Africa were to the All Blacks what Wales were to South Africa last week; except we couldn't score a random try from an up-and-under.

If people really thought South Africa were good, you're deluded or euphoric. Watch the game again. I don't think I have ever watched such a one-sided match where the points differential was so narrow.

You were Good compared to how you played against Japan.

I think when SA selects Du preez at half back you pretty much know they are going to play like this in a crunch match. The difference between SA and Wales though is Barnes wasnt helping SA in this one because his breakdown control in the SA vs Wales match clearly favoured Wales.

Why on earth would he be cited for that? What Law has he transgressed?

The ball was out so no offside, or coming in the side, and he ran a direct line to the ball carrier, then followed him.
