Yeah, and it needs to get reffed. They have completely let it go for the last couple of years. I stand by my earlier comments about Willie Le Roux. He is WOEFUL.

The deliberate blocking for kick receivers is getting completely out of hand. Faf de Klerk just blatantly blocked our chasers. He actually put his arm out and literally blocked the chaser. Refs are completely ignoring it.

True. We have options though don't we. We're going to need to beat 1 or 2 northern hemisphere sides, so that might play out a little differently than SA's uber rush. Gotta say, I'm pretty happy with the loosies combo. Read and Cane are solid but Savea has taken a massive step forward lately...

This game isn't over. Besides.. it's only 3 games that matter. The quarter, semi and final. Lots of sides can string 3 good games together.

Don't think I've ever seen Willie Le Roux play a good game of rugby. Maybe once in 2013 something.

True. Perhaps for any other side in the world I would say no, AB's are capable of quick execution though. I just still remember the AB's deliberately beating up the B&I Lions up front in the 1st test. Thought they could try that.

Mapimpi got done by Reece. Reece and Bridge. Completely justifying Hansens picks.

Not by playing touch rugby that's for sure. Thought NZ would be a bit more prepared than this. Ideally, by beating them up front. Basic rugby stuff. Winning the forward battle, reap the benefits in the back. SA not easy to push around though.

Fiji.. you're gonna pay if you don't relieve your territory better than that. What? 30 seconds later.. points.

Throwing that ball in on his touch line was interesting.. Fitness is going to tell very shortly. Wallabies will get in comfortably.

Outrageously bad eh? He was literally about to let that go, you know.. where the guy 2 metres in front of him, dropped it onto the guy on the ground, who caught it, offside, on the ground and passed it back to him. The touchie is just as bad, he let a 1 metre forward pass RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM...

Well you're going to have to find a line somewhere I guess. I won't be watching if it's anything like what they coughed up for the u20's this year.

Yes. So what does that mean? I drop the dacks and touch my toes? I'm not allowed an opinion now? My point is that in the interest of player safety, that clear out didn't even resemble dangerous. You lot are all bleating because he put his hand on top his shoulder and threw him to the ground...

No, if the receiving team plays the ball before it reaches the 10 it is play on.

Meaning what? I see you guys like to argue clearly wrong stuff as well eh?

So you're allowed to play at the ball inside that 10, knock it on and still get the ball? New to me.

What did he say then? And what is the rule?

So you're allowed to knock it on if it bounces first. Mmm ok.

So now you're calling that a head high tackle? You sure it wasn't a "judo throw"?

Look, this is a game where 100kg+ bastards literally run into each other at full tilt. You think a 9 getting flung to the ground is dangerous. Get real. "Round the neck", he put his hand on his shoulder then grabbed his shirt. He didn't actually wring his neck. Sure give him a penalty, but...
