Pretty unfair, there's no way Mostert was expecting to have to make a tackle there. Just bracing himself for impact after being surprised by a ball carrier changing direction.

I presume you’re taking the piss

Nah man, why would you be expecting a player to use footwork? Not only that, you're advancing at a player that could well be carrying the ball when you meet, so there's no way you'd even think you might have to tackle them. Outrageous.

@Bones As soon as 14 came off the coach said ‘don’t worry, you’ll be back. Stay ready.’ Can see it in the body language. World Rugby created the problem and have no clue how to fix it

Brex should get a fucking card for that too. What a fuckface

Italy doing a good job of playing the plucky battler that doesn't really expect to win. They should be really pushing SA around the park, put them under pressure and make Rassie look stupid when he runs out of players.

If you’d just tuned in you’d think Italy were a man down

Not playing intelligent rugby

Oh, so that reasoning doesn't work now? I'm facetiously flummoxed. There was hardly even any force, Mostert went just as far back as Garbisi, you can see it in his feet.

Rassie doesn't trust his "B" props. By the 25th minute, both Steenkamp and Louw have been called to replace the starters. I don't know if Louw has 60 minutes in his legs.

I doubt that's the case - he just knows he can bring them back on later when there's an "injury".

Skinstad thinks the same as you

Led with shoulder, other arm tucked, straight to chin

If that’s not a RC I honestly don’t know what the fuck is

Ok now I'm genuinely flummoxed. If only that was the case when teams did it against black. Consistency, right?

Boks dropping high balls on an Italian contest. Knock on advantage to Italy and the Italian openside is again on the ball to win a penalty. He’s having a good game.

10-6 to Boks.

Kolisi off at the 45th minute. Snyman on because they need some size at the lineout.

If Italy can keep their discipline the Boks will start to play desperate.

Lynagh playing excellent

Tactics very good by Italy in these conditions. keeping the Boks pinned in their own half.

YC surely.

Straight off his feet when Italy were hot on attack.

Boks down to 13 men.

Italy take 3.

Boks 10-9

Argh, discipline Italy.

Another card coming. YC for Italy 8.

@ACT-Crusader said in Italy vs Springboks:

Argh, discipline Italy.

Taking that 3 could come back to haunt them.

14 v 13.

There was barely any contact but head contact nonetheless

A bit of Lynagh brilliance to get a try for the historic win!

Discipline letting them down.

More reviews than NFL

Careless entry into the ruck results in an elbow to the face but everyone thinks it’s a “rugby play”. So carry on.

Fuck Skinstad is such a biased cockhole. Ridiculous.

Am I behind or are you referring to the ruck clearout? Looked like a shoulder to me, but can't see a heck of a lot wrong.

Italy making very hard work of this

Sheesh Italy lucky there.
