[RWC2023 SF2] England vs South Africa (21/10/2023)

[OldSchoolRugga]

I don't think Rassie would allow it, but the Boks need to avoid the mentality that all they have to do is turn up. If they do that they will lose.

They're way past that.

I'm not sure that the difference in a score will be that high tbh. Maybe we'll even see something like Fra:RSA as I think Eng will try really hard this time and RSA looked already a bit tired during the last match (imo).
Plus, scared to think what it will be like between fans of both teams after the match (I mean in a reality,not on this forum)

I think the kicking game is going to be huge for both teams, as that says out wingers bigger than theres so if kicks are competable then they will be targeted by out back 3, but we will be susceptible to being caught out wide and crossfield kicks i think.

What is the weather going to be like?

High chance of rain.

High chance of rain.

Hope we dont get demolished at scrum time then.

me too, if they can front up we must have a chance with Steward at the back hoovering up everything expertly, that's a good chunk of SA most potent weapons.

Read the other day that despite 275 caps between them Cole, George and Marler have only been the starting front row on one previous occasion.

Surprising. I never would have expected that TBH.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

George Martin is prob the one I'm most interested in seeing play.
To be trusted against in all reality the best Lock pairing in world rugby is crazy considering Borthwick had played him at 6 in his time at Leicester and since the Chile game he only played 30 minutes.

 

[Stade Rochelais]

The English Rugby Union reportedly wanted referee Ben O'keefe to be replaced, a request which was refused.

The New Zealander will make you bite the dust, you will taste it and join the French in their revolt.

Final: South Africa - All Black.

Cheers, that will teach me to not read it properly.

Don't be hard on yourself, you are, after all, a product of the English education system.

High chance of rain.

We have a high chance here in Paris all day and up to now there was no real rain. It's really windy, not to say stormy, here though, might impact the kicking.

I'm burning my 90s springbok jersey and my Joost van der Westhuizen autograph if the Saffers lose this.

 

[Grizwald]

I had always just assumed Kurt-Lee Arendse was a young lad 21/22. Didn't realise he was 27.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

South Africa are playing England today in rugby and cricket. How often does that happen in World Cups on the same day ? Almost never ?

If the way the cricket's going is any indication, its going to be a very long 80 minutes.

Let's hope so. I've got 16 beers lined up and ready to **** talk throughout the whole game like prime Mike Phillips.

Wow, i thought the same as you, or like 24 at the most.

We will require video evidence of this should it happen
