Head on head from Kolbe

Angus Gardner has had some howlers in his career but describing this as a "really good game" might be his biggest.

We've had a really good slop fest right here, don't go ruining it by connecting passes

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Can't wait for World Rugby to ban yellow lights in the booth after that

 

[Rinkadink]

Scotland being rode by officials so far.

Does anyone know who is in charge of the TV footage today?

Head on head from Kolbe

Because he is small it is okay I guess

I believe it's all World Rugby's production team throughout the World Cup

33-12 Springboks. I would fancy Scotland more against France and NZ who play a wider game. SA will be too strong and tactically savvy to give Scotland a sniff. I think they will do to the Scots what they did to us in the last RWC final. Relatively close at HT then SA to pull away.

I think so far mate you've got this spot on.

Scotland will do well to keep the lead to 6 at HT on this evidence

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Scots need to fix this territory issue or this score will keep ticking over against them

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Russell getting praised for throwing a pass to ground
"look at the space he's finding"
How about he finds a teammate instead?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Russell injuring himself putting a cheapshot on Arendse

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Gardner referees like a teacher during recess and Finn plays like a monster fueled 8 year old.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

One problem.... That wasn't a tackle

 

[Groundhog]

Christ I hope this game kicks into life. Russell is a liability today, he can't play this type of game. I do think the Scots have had bad luck with the officials so far.

 

[General Melchett]

Finn broken rib?

 

[TommiG88]

Some right bias commentary here

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Penalty only is fair,
Does feel a bit harsh that South Africa have gotten away with two head on heads

 

[AlRums]

Russell a bit lucky there

 

[Lé Ddanno]

**** off Whitehouse

 

[IT157]

Slow motion always makes things look way worse

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Slight irony is that probably doesn't even get checked if Finn just gets back up
