Feel like the boks will pull away in the last quarter.

Having said that, c'mon Wales!

Pretty sure all of SA's losses this year have come in the last quarter, so I wouldn't be surprised if the opposite happens. Just depends how fit Wales are.

Great game so far, that half time came really bloody quickly.

 

[phisheep]

Well, he used to be terrible at everything but he did keep scoring tries. Now, he's just terrible at everything.

No idea why he's still playing though, it's almost like having a schoolboy in an international team.

At this stage it is probably that we have nobody else left.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

C'mon Wales! I thought we were gonna get pwned, pleasantly surprised!

That's a good point. Hopefully Wales can go the distance.

Feeling confident for the game vs the French?

Nervous but fairly confident. This AB team knows what they're doing and how to win regardless of how well or poorly they're playing, completely different from the teams in 1999 and 2007.

 

[CCS]

Well that was a mess from Wales.

 

[30yearsofhurt]

He was in the maul at all times. Poor officiating.

 

[LiquidSolid]

Rucks are a bit of a free for all. I hate how players flop over the top of a ruck, pretending they're still on their feet when they're clearly putting all their weight on the tackled player or their arms.

 

[KingSnake]

He was in the maul at all times. Poor officiating.

That was also my impression.

 

[CCS]

Great kick after Burger was a very silly boy.

EDIT: Lots of drop goals today.

 

[KingSnake]

Wales seemed to me to be the stronger team until now.

Edit: even the decision to go for a drop goal here looks like lack of confidence from SA

 

[30yearsofhurt]

Amazing what being 4 points down could do to the Springboks style of play.

 

[kmag]

Wales look really tired.

 

[weekev]

Wales player down injured? Must be the first time this World Cup...

 

[30yearsofhurt]

Look at that 2nd half possession.

 

[weekev]

Look at that 2nd half possession.

Hasnt made a difference to the scoreboard yet though. Although could count towards the end of the game when an already shattered and stretched Wales team will be even more tired after all the tackles.

 

[LiquidSolid]

Wales need to stop kicking the fucking ball away. No surprise SA have dominated possession in this half.

 

[KingSnake]

Yeah, unfortunately Wales seems to lack the energy now.

 

[CCS]

Great response by Wales.

 

[30yearsofhurt]

A taste of their own medicine.

 

[weekev]

Yeah, unfortunately Wales seems to lack the energy now.

Scoreboard is still somehow about to be in their favour. Boks will feel robbed if they go out here.

Boks have not really created that many good plays in this game. They have 18 points on the board only because of some stupid mistakes on Wales side.

 

[pulsemyne]

Staggering defence from Wales. Just ripping the ball out of hands over and over.

 

[KingSnake]

Really, SA play until now is ruck, ruck, ruck, wait for penalty.

 

[CCS]

Wales have put in a monumental effort.

 

[LiquidSolid]

Really, SA play until now is ruck, ruck, ruck, wait for penalty.

I wouldn't go that far but yeah, every time they've made their way into the Welsh 22, they've either got a penalty or fucked it up.

Wow, Cuthbert actually did something.

 

[Omikaru]

This is a nailbiter! Can barely bare to watch!

 

[pulsemyne]

Urgh this is just.....urgh.

 

[30yearsofhurt]

Why are they taking Biggar off?

 

[LiquidSolid]

Why are they taking Biggar off?

Concussion test, he looked a bit wobbly after a tackle just before.

 

[KingSnake]

I feel a drop goal coming.

 

[CCS]

Welp.

 

[pulsemyne]

Shit. Ah well.

 

[30yearsofhurt]

Game over.

 

[Clegg]

That was an unbelievable offload from Vermuelen.

 

[chalkitdown1]

Wales just fucked it.

 

[kmag]

Well that's that. Pretty silly to get caught on the short side there

 

[ptolemy]

That offload was a thing of beauty

 

[KingSnake]

That was a nice try.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Taking off Biggar was a mistake. That handoff was brilliant but Cuthbert lol.

 

[CCS]

Missed conversion though. Can Wales find one more moment of wonder.

 

[Clegg]

Oh look it was an Alex Cuthbert fuck up on that try.

He had no need to step in to make that tackle. Lloyd Williams had the man covered.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

Shit

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Damn

 

[Omikaru]

That's it for Wales I think.

 

[30yearsofhurt]

That was a wrong call. Ruck had formed.

 

[Rin Tohsaka]

Rip Wales

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Sad for Wales

 

[pulsemyne]

Great match. Pity about the result.

 

[CCS]

Very sad for Wales
