Good Luck to The Mighty Springboks tomorrow.
WRS will be calling for Wales and my heart will be with South Africa, fondly remembering 2007 and my rugby hero Percy Montgomery kicking your team to glory…(and looking mighty gorgeous in the process)!!
Percy tells me he is going to Japan for the final (Yes, my hero actually messages me occasionally) so I hope it is for an England v SA final that he gets to see!!
Enjoy the game all…!!
I am nervous for this one!!
Freegin French referee, Garces…. Springboks chances are less with this tool on the whistle!
@ grootblousmile:
You should be, no Percy to kick for points!! 🙂

What is the GENERAL feeling in the UK, who will win this one?
Players getting ready to come out onto the pitch…
GO BOKS!
Players out on the pitch… all looking nervous…
Should be a moment of silence before the Anthems, as was the case yesterday…
Anthems up next…
Welsh Anthem up 1st
The way the teams play many expecting a big kicking game. Thing is when Wales decide to run the ball with their backs they are dangerous, so wonder if they might try this a bit more as a surprise element.
South African Anthem…
Formalities done… let the game begin!!
Going to watch 1st half then have to head out so will try avoid the result and watch the rest later, hope its a good one
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the Springboks!
Bokke turnover scrum, Welshman held up…
Hope Rassie has spoken to the ref about his lenience in the high tackle area, especially needs to keep an eye on Moriarty who has history for dirty play.
Let’s see what the 1st scrum delivers…
Gosh Wales pack is listed as 16kg heavier let’s see how scrum goes, it collapses…
2 Reset scrums…
@ grootblousmile:
General feeling is that this should be a well matched game although the Springboks are always a scary side to face!! 🙂
Super play by Faf, come on BOKS
Wales penalty, holding on by Willie le Roux
Good exit kick by Faf de Klerk…
Good securing the ball by Am, noticed against Japan that he was good at going in at the breakdown and helping get turnovers
Wales scrum, up and under knocked.
High tackle by du Toit goes unpunished by the ref who is strict at the breakdown but not with the high tackles
Phew forward pass lucky, see if Wales run it they can gain ground
Wales dangerous out wide… easliy around Nkosi… then a forward pass by Wales.
