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

[Reiser99]

I thought you could play the scrum half's arm, but not knock the ball out of their hands? Surely a penalty.

 

[dirty harry]

WR want to "protect" the ref.s, and control the stream these days.


Most of the replays we want today would "influence" the ref in France's favour.

If they really want to protect the refs they would make the laws reasonable to blwdi implement!

 

[Atmavictu]

Some real bad pro South Africa referees

here we do a Dupont loop

And hes off his feet laying on the ruck! Why is that not a penalty?

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Fourie has been their replacement hooker since Marx got injured. He mostly plays back row but has played hooker in the past.

That makes sense. Then if Mbonambi goes off then Fourie goes to 2 and Smith to 6.

no penalties today

how did moukava get into open play so quickly?

 

[AlRums]

I thought DuPont's injury might mean he wasn't going to be at his best for this game. How silly of me.

I was thinking he's a bit gun shy, he seems to avoid contact if he can, but he's still playing well

 

[Booboobang]

Jalibert is a very fun player

 

[Saintjay]

No replays of a lot of stuff going on...

Why is that all of a sudden?

They stopped French tv producers taking the ****

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

That makes sense. Then if Mbonambi goes off then Fourie goes to 2 and Smith to 6.

Surely Mbonabi has to play the whole 80 mins now Smith has come on for Vermeulen.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Took an age to call that.

 

[Ferrari333SP]

These breakdowns are heavyweight boxing matches

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

WTF!

 

[IT157]

1st half was sensational.

Second half more of a slog.

Still an intriguing watch.

 

[Saintjay]

Wtf was that jelly bear

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

The tempo of this has come to a standstill. Feels like every break in play is taking 5 minutes to resolve.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

what the hell jalibert

 

[Booboobang]

Like I said, Jalibert a very fun player, not always for the ways you would think
