[RWC2019][Pool B] Round 1 - New Zealand vs. South Africa (21/09/2019)

[TheOvalBall]

Don't like this play from South Africa. Constant barging forward with the forwards, and the AB's defense is holding. That way of playing will get old really fast.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Aaron got away with that one.

 

[CymruRygbi]

New Zealand do look slightly jittery at the moment.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

SA’s rush defence causing ABs all sorts of problems.

 

[General Melchett]

If South Africa win this then Ireland v Scotland almost becomes a dead rubber

 

[Deleted member 53362]

Boks look ******* good

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

If South Africa win this then Ireland v Scotland almost becomes a dead rubber

Yeah, can't see New Zealand beating either of us if they can't beat SA.

 

[Reiser99]

Still don't get how Sam Cane is not off for a HIA if he got a knee to the head. Still inconsistent in how the rule is applied.

 

[General Melchett]

How good is de Clerk? (rhetorical)

 

[bushytop]

Unless the Boks are just super-humanly fit, I could see them gassing at 60 if their defence remains this good.

 

[profitius]

NZ under pressure but it's early days yet.

 

[CymruRygbi]

Oh my God Pollard what the actual fu...

 

[Ddanno]

God I wish De Klerk was English

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Would have thought the advantage was played there. SA probably would have preferred the scrum, and definitely after that kick.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's a quality kick considering the pressure

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Must be a yellow.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Yellow card?

Edit: yep, fairplay to him for making sure he's got the right guy.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

20 minutes of relative dominance thrown away with one mistake.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Just shows what happens when you don't convert your points.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Amazed that isn't a card
