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

[Yulia]

Did any of you see that World Rugby have said that Kolbe's charge down was illegal and Ramos should have had a second chance at it ?

I haven't. Do you have a link or something please? I actually thought the same when I saw it

It's all over the internet now. I first saw it on my phone; an article in Wales Online.
just Google World Rugby, Kobe Charge down and it should all pop up for you

 

[Reiser99]

And yet he was selected to ref a semi final. How bad must everyone else be?

I'll be watching this one from behind the sofa.
As much as I want England to win, I fear it could be a 20+ point drubbing if the scrum fails to get parity.

Unfortunately I don't see it being anything but, it's painful to say, a lots being made of Steward high ball quality etc, I'll go on record and say the sacrifice made to have him in the team in most other areas is too great, especially when he hasn't been as good as he was at it of late, really hope I'm wrong and will happily eat humble pie if proven to be.

 

[Gray_Mouser]

I might be delusional, but having watched both South Africa and England in Marseille at the opening week end, I'd say it might be a way tighter game than most people think.

I'm curious why you would think that. South Africa faced much tougher opponents. I think they will mop the floor with England. But we will know soon.

Steward looks buzzing, don't think nerves will be a factor there

 

[saulan]

Is that jeering because the referees were announced in the stadium or something? Yep.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

And here come the tears.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Theo Dan sang Queen then quickly corrected to King after, haha

 

[SG59_]

England singing like their loved one won't get released if they don't.

 

[saulan]

Pretty sure Farrell sang God save our Queen there

 

[Reiser99]

I thought so too. His mind is clearly elsewhere. Not sure if that's a good thing.

 

[General Melchett]

He did it in the QF too. Maybe he prefers Camilla to sausage fingers

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

Owen Farrell was singing God save the Queen. Hope that is his only mistake of the night.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Or Freddie, Brian, Roger and John

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Weird to complain about that, very clearly not supporting his weight

 

[ncurd]

Daly actually doing some good?

And BOK giving a ruck penalty! Not for off thier feet naturally despite the illegal jackal.

Ah, what was it actually for in the end?

Think they gave it for not rolling away...
