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

[Which Tyler]

Remains yellow - FFS!

 

[IT157]

Remains a yellow card.

Correct call. Would have been a harsh red

 

[dirty harry]

Being tall isnt mitigation, but it is a factor. Rugby is alienating more and more potential fans and potential players.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

So Eben gets away with it.

Yep, this world cup has been a disaster for any claims to care about player safety

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Or consistency.

 

[dirty harry]

Kriel has got away with it all tournament

I've only seen one penalised this RWC and theres been plenty

 

[Horacito]

better for the match tho

Poster you quoted didn't think it was even a yellow card

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

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

Sharks and Stormers have played in knockout of Heineken though. while not exactly this pace SA should have some players who have been just as exposed as the French players.

 

[General Melchett]

Zlatan gets a 10 minute rest

Right for the wrong reasons - is still right.

How else do you think I graduated?

 

[Horacito]

Zlatan gets a 10 minute rest

Eben looks like the kind of guy who would send a signed jersey back to kobe bryant

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Mauvaka is having the game of his life.

 

[Grizwald]

Wouldn't have taken Labok off.

 

[Which Tyler]

And another knock-on ignored

 

[Jimbo]

Offside line?

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Zlatan gets a 10 minute rest

That's better than calling him Bruno.

I've been critical of this RWC 3 uncontested pools, bad red cards, bad no cards, ref officiating has been a horror show, and now apparently rugby fans boo everything lol

Not to mention ITV as h only option, World rugby's aggressive attitude toward video usage...

Not only has this RWC not progressed the sport, I'd argue it's taken it a backwards step

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

I don't see what the Boks coaches are seeing in this match so far is going to result in penalty opportunities for Pollard. Faf an upgrade though.
