Williams is a freak.

SA are truly a champion team. So much of composure and fight shown by them. Easily the best team in the world.

Does Gardner breath between lecturing the players?

Technically he is ok, but he has zero feel for the game

France are shit

That may be right but at least he knows the crap time wasting tactics by the Boks that other refs don’t even say a thing.

lol

Come on angus grow a pair

The Springboks are the clearly the best side in the world in 2025.

France are abjectly poor and some of their players have given up.

France have gone backwards from this time last year.

Huge decision from Gardner

If that try had been disallowed then we would be down to touch rugby

SA impressive

France was shit in 2nd half.

Springboks will win the WC purely because they are blooding a young ten now before it’s too late.

It was silly of them to agree to play SA without playing another test beforehand, and they did look a tad disjointed. Having said that SA are just on another level atm.

The boks are well coached snd all of them know the hameplan.

WC is years away. England will be the favorites for the next WC by the end of next year

The French substitutes were below par. With 15 men on the field, SA should have won by +25 pr even more.

An impressive 2nd half by the Boks. France didn't know how to capitalise on a numerical advantage.

It’s a thing with the two “top” Aussie refs, - him and Berry coach too much throughout the game. Berry doesn’t lecture like Gardner the school teacher, but he’s telling players far more than he should.
