Congratulations SA.

Nothing!
Hahaha
Looking at the 2 semis, England should be big favourites to take the Rugby World Cup 2019.
@ grootblousmile:
MOTM.
Jérôme Garcès.
Much maligned before the game.
Did a great job.

Still thought he was against the Springboks in the match…
Well, I know that the Springboks cannot afford to give as much ball possession away against England, that is for sure!
@ McLook:
True,
The Boks have some excellent finishers, why not use them.
This game changed in SA’s favour when Pollard went for a couple of runs with the ball in hand, late in the match.
Not a pretty game at all, lots of errors both sides too…

The thing is, when the Bokke actually keep the ball, carry it up with the big forwards, run at the opposition…. then they actually look good.
Goodnight McLook and Groot.
And good luck next week.
England will try to strangle you. Rassie has some thinking to do.
@ grootblousmile:
Not pretty…………………………….but you are there. You are still alive and with a good chance.
Players who did not impress for the Bokke?
I think all the front row players worked had… no problem there
Locks worked hard
Pieter-Steph du Toit was a tackling monster, Duane Vermeulen played hard… Siya was solid.
Faf and Pollard were solid enough and Pollard’s boot at posts was perfect.
Damian de Allende stood out a bit, on attack and defence.
Lukhanyo Am was maybe a bit quiet.
Makazole Mapimpi and Sbu Nkosi did their jobs… saw little ball.
Willie le Roux to me was the worst performer in the whole Bokke 23.

Cheers Cane…. have a good one!
Think my choice for Man Of The Match is Damian de Allende.
Will be interesting to see the footage of the Press Conferences…
Warren Gatland will be devastated…
Rassie Erasmus will be relieved… but not happy!
The Springboks set pieces next week will have to be spot-on!
I am happy with the Springbok defence… except maybe out wide on the wings.
I think England will target the Springbok wings… to get around.
Jean de Villiers says that Handré Pollard needs to carry the ball more, be the threat he can be… and I agree.
In the FINAL… 1 more huge job to come… Phweeeew!
Schalk Burger says Rassie Erasmus is a masterful tactitian…
So, the Springboks lost their opening match against the All Blacks and thereafter Wales in this match was their toughest opposition…
England still unbeaten and they have had tough opposition in both the Quater Final (Wallabies) and in the Semi Final (All Blacks)… and they have looked bloody good throughout!
The Bronze playoff is on Friday, at 11:00 SA Time (Tokyo Stadium): All Blacks vs Wales
The Final is on Saturday, at 11:00 SA Time (International Stadium Yokohama): England vs Springboks
Good luck to you ! Wales did nothing as usual but put their bollocks on the table with that scrum choice ending with their try ! Bokkies will need a huge improvment if they want to have a chance ! Your luck is english overconfidence… did not manage to win the 5 nations while being over favorite a couple of times…
Oups 6 nations…
