[RWC 2023 Final] New Zealand v South Africa 28/10/23 20:00 BST

My comms just said SA haven't been tested this World Cup even against Ireland....sho they lost against. Last week they only won by 1 point in the dying minuites against one the poorest England sides in living memory.

Boks should be pretty happy despite losing Bongi. Its unclear the ABs can do anything from open play and I expect them to tire first in these conditions (due to having to work harder in the breakdown). If Boks get 2 scores ahead this half I would make them 80% favourites (again in these conditions).

Saveas penalty looking increasingly harsh after that turnover

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Taylor's darts. smh.

 

[Reiser99]

Why aren't NZ kicking it out more? Put Fourie under pressure.

 

[Atmavictu]

Garbage so far

 

[die_mole]

Ireland infected NZ with their lineouts.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Why aren't NZ kicking it out more? Put Fourie under pressure.

Through fear of accidentally getting a 50:22 and having to throw in themselves

This tmo is doing my head in

Jobsworths

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's a red

 

[AlRums]

That one may go red

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

That's a red

Nah they will say he's falling

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Week 1 that could have been red. Week two onwards that'll stay yellow.

 

[Tooting Carmen]

Red card coming?

 

[Jimbo]

Yeah game over, that's a red

 

[ncurd]

That's a red

Some arguement for attempting the tackle and wrap but hard to see where mitigation is...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Very ironic considering Kriel got away with a clear red in the Boks opener, and then is involved in (likely) a red in the final

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Jesus christ.

 

[die_mole]

that will be a red with tempest in the bunker. He's by the rules.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

That's surely a red. NZ being their own worst enemy with frequent stupidity and poor disicpline.
