Rugby World Cup 2023

[spectateur]

Referee was 6 foot away looking at the Argie scrum half and still missed the ball being knocked out of his hand until the TMO told him, bizarre really.

The ref seemed hard on the Argies.
Perhaps a french or Irish ref would have been a better choice.

Haha I'm a saffa. So just checking

I'd do the same. He's been dodgy all WC at his place kicks

Sadly , my team, Wales , are out but it means I’ve really concentrated on the other teams with great interest. It’s hard not to believe that SA are now favourites ( I know, sorry! ) certainly the strongest 23 of any team in the world . It should be a cracking game tonight

Taranaki beat Hawkes Bay 22-19...fantastic game!!

Looking forward to the Saffers vs mighty England game. Hopefully a more even match than the other semi final...which really needed an Irish referee to make it more competitive. My head says South Africa but I always have a soft spot for my country of birth and will be hoping England's low swinging saccharine chariot might Ben Hur its way into the final.

I thought every game had a kiwi ref?

Yeah we find it uncomfortable being Favorites, just like Everton haha. We seem to prefer adversity

After watching the Protea's bum the English in the cricket, the bokke will definitely be spurred on tonight.

Let me see if I can remember some Afrikaans...

'So, wat dink jy my seuntjie? Kan die Engels span in die mielies gaan kak?'

I think that sounds right?

 

[edge]

England to kick there way to victory.
Hopefully

 

[Walken]

Saffers have got their ref back from the quarters, stitch up

 

[Tommy Chong]

And so... It begins.

 

[Bagpuss]

Decent start.

 

[Billy Dean]

Come on England. I don’t understand what’s happening but it’s exciting
