[RWC2019][Pool B] Round 3 - South Africa vs. Italy (04/10/2019)

[Yoshimitsu]

That's all folks...... So stupid.

 

[big ginger 8]

That's one of the stupidest things I've seen on a rugby pitch and incredibly scummy.

 

[donmcdazzle]

Real shame because it just spoiled their best attack of the game

 

[User1245]

Italian number 1 should get a heavy suspension for that

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

17 getting off Scott free?

 

[Reiser99]

Can you give two cards?

Should have 17 is lucky too. He lifts the left leg too.

 

[Rinkadink]

FFS.

The bit that gets me more than anything is that SA were likely going to concede with that play and pressure. Blown. Only mitigation is that they both tried to lift instead of the usual one and other attacks ball.

 

[Reiser99]

Ridiculous though, no need for it at all. Even if the whistle hadn't gone the result would have been the same.

 

[donmcdazzle]

This is going to turn into a bloodbath here

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

A back row of Negri, Polledri and Steyn would genuinely be in the conversation for best on the planet.

 

[Yoshimitsu]

Willie le Roux has got the anti Midas touch at the minute.....

 

[Which Tyler]

Just reached the second half - Italy (very) lucky to have any props left - IMO that shoulda been 2 reds.

Unless either of them is a good Christian who wouldn't do such a thing, of course

 

[User1245]

The Italians have been very cynical. Not a very likeable team

 

[donmcdazzle]

The bok locks are awesome. Having De Jaager and Etzebeth with Snyman on the bench is ridiculously good.

Don't forget Mostert on the bench too.

'Likeable' isnt a competition any South African side is about to win.

Pot, kettle... black!

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Regardless of how far the Springboks go, surely Kolbe has World Player of the Year in the bag?

 

[User1245]

Mapimpi didn't even try to contest in the air...

What have this side done to be unlikeable?
