Hate that SA physio who always gets involved. Know your place, woman!
She will have Rassie in her ear all game, but always too close to the action.
@MiketheSnow
Mi don’t know should have been YC and possible PT
SA second try
No way Moody was supporting his own weight in the turnover
And hands beyond the ball
@DaGrubster Yep, I got that as well. Pretty clear.
@Jailbreak7
A mate pinged me to say that he said it.
I have it on my phone but not sure how to upload a video here
Yeah he says 'fuck off you black.....'. Pretty obvious lip reading.
Le Roux is a tool, even Kolisi had a go at him earlier in the year for being a dick.
@Canes4life if thats the case, you'd have to see a ban coming?
@taniwharugby no of the commentators mentioned it but if it surfaces on social media I'm sure he won't be able to hide from it.
Well, 3 or 4 of us have seen it from here. Presumably a tongan heard it with many more seeing it around the world.
So, nothing will happen then!
@DaGrubster yeah I just meant no one has mentioned it on the broadcast. I'm sure it will be dealt with after the game.
Shoulder to head, saw him coming, never got in a position to make a legal tackle so no mitigation. Genuinely baffled by that one

I’m guessing you’ve never played rugby?
Not since this head contact law has been consistently refereed all season until the World Cup
So many no-arms chop tackles are ignored when defending the try line so why did Cronan decide to interject for that one?
Re the head shot stuff, It’s so weird to watch as a NH fan, all year the interpretation would have been as per Luke Pearce’s reaction. The Aussies seem to have totally different interpretation (it was Aussie officials who cleared Farrell) and Aussie TMO disagreed with Pearce who then changed his decision
Ah, I misheard. Fair enough. I don’t understand what the mitigation was based on the decision making protocols though.
Tonga really need to pick better younger players that show some promise, and coaches who can get the best out of them.
@DaGrubster One has to ensure a certain level of deference to their betters by the ‘south sea islanders’

Libbok looks are a really good 10. But can he goal kick?
Who cares?

The SA coaches I imagine. It was a rhetorical Q but thanks for taking the time to answer anyways.

You looking for people like you to join a club?
Respect to Tonga!
The Boks have one of the best defensive systems in the game and really pride themselves on it and Tonga ran in THREE tries.
And while the scoreline doesn't reflect it, I though they gave the Boks a good examination.
Good luck to them for their final game!
Sadly, Mapimpi is confirmed to be out of the RWC with a fractured eye socket.
Feel really sad for him - he gives 100% all the time.
Will be interesting to see who they bring in to replace him.
The standby list currently reads:
Lukhanyo Am (Centre)
Lood de Jager (Lock)
Joseph Dweba (Hooker)
Thomas du Toit (Prop)
Jean-Luc du Preez (Loosie)
Herschel Jantjies (Scrumhalf)
Evan Roos (Loosie)
Gerhard Steenekamp (Prop)
