Would be interested to see a high shot replay. Kolbe is quick, but defenders often jump the gun at such times. they were showing it on french tv now, he was a good few meters ahead when the kick motion started. He still had to get the kick, but we all remember Cruden’s successful rekick vs Ireland....

Unfortunately for South Africa I think they have picked a 23 of old men who just played a tough pool round. They needed some of their younger players in there. The average age of the Bok pack is 32. Frances is 28. New Zealand and Ireland's were 29. I think 32 is too old. I am saying that for years ...

They choked in so far that they couldnt stand up to the occasion of knock out rugby once again. This time even despite being the no 1 ranked team in the world.

I think Reiko might be more evidence that the 'no dickheads' policy is out the window
Can't stand him. No doubt he is guilty of something the way he walks away. No class.
What about Rieko though?

What a fantastic game. Impressed by NZ, got their shit together. They had one month to play themselves into form after the France loss, and they did. Sam Cane was the best I have ever seen him play. Wayne Barnes had a good game, no complaints. I said that NZ did not care about the opening game and ...

Is it doesn't work then the kick and chase paring of Faff & Pollard come on.

So they had to take willie as well as a playmaker. I would have preferred another forward on the bench instead of him. Not quite happy with that bench tbh.

Germany is big on NFL. They’re having two games this season as well. Germans have played in the NFL. Plus I'm sure the german NFL Europe teams got good crowds before it died off. Define 'big'. They watch it, as do people around the world. The super bowl 2023 had 1.7 million viewers in free tv. The ...

But I suppose if you applied football criteria, this one is clearly missing until the opposition player intervenes. So would go down as an OG Not an OG for me. Just consider it a deflection. What if a runner tips a ball during a charge down but it goes over, or a ball that is missing wide of the po...

This one is clear, it is not an own goal but merely a deflection. So what happens if I would dropkick the ball through my own goal posts in general play from the field of play. Normally nobody would do that, sure, but what if? Or, imagine a goal line drop out against heavy wind, and the wind blows t...

Yes, it is crap. Even with a proper draw it would be. Make a tier 1 tournament and a tier 2 tournament.

The thing is, no matter who comes in, he won't walk into the match day 23 for the knock out games anyway, not having played pool stage rugby and trained with the squad for weeks.

Would Ireland be blamed for poor sportsmanship if they do this though?

Honestly, I don't think they should be. You couldn't expect them to sacrifice a potential world cup just to be nice.

Nah, they should not of course.

Why they dont start with Duanne in 8 is a mystery. They needed a 7. PSdT rested and Mostert semi rested from bench as lock cover rather, so we only really have Duane for 7. Kolisi is a proper 7. Well not a classic openside for sure. Made his bok debut coming from the bench for Arno Botha, at 7
