Was it the same ITV commentator that was at the SA-Japan match? Can't remember, but he was annoying.

Oh god. The enthusiasm of these northern hemisphere/UK commentators whenever something happens against the southern hemisphere big 3 is awful. I liked Shane Williams as a player, but he should quit now as a commentator. Also the guy with him, no idea who that is.

Both are better than Skinstad.

So you're passing to kill each other now...

I'm not entirely convinced Scotland will beat Samoa, but they will start as favorites for sure for that match.

If Fiji pull this off, it will be the 2nd biggest upset in history. In other words, I can't see it happening.

Ah. I hope you're right, but I don't think Meyer knows his A team from his B team at the moment.

Not sure what you're referring to. Anyway, on Sunday called Scotland by at least 20 when they play us, and I'm standing by that.

Errrmmmm... Nope. ;)

This game is even trending on Twitter. Could guarantee that wouldn't be the case if Saturday never happened. The one concern Scotland will have: Japan are still in it.

Also agreed. This is essentially changing lanes. Should not be allowed. Something they could also do, is if a phase was started with a maul, or if the try was scored from a maul, that try does not count towards bonus points, i.e. scoring 5 tries but 2 were from mauls, no bonus points. Bonus...

I won't, and I got over it pretty quickly by looking at the scoreboard(i.e. way worse things to worry about). Most laws are a farce really, and solely dependent on what the refs feel is the most wrong. I.e. tackled player being "fetched" by a player who isn't supporting his own body weight...

I mean we got pinged for the ball carrier not being at the front - we actually made contact! It looked exactly like that.

Right. Didn't see much wrong with Peyper and Barnes.

He didn't have a bad game first up, but I'm interested to know why specifically you say this.

Probable Springbok team: 15 Willie le Roux, 14 JP Pietersen, 13 Jean de Villiers (captain), 12 Damian de Allende, 11 JP Bryan Habana, 10 Handre Pollard, 9 Fourie du Preez, 8 Duane Vermeulen, 7 Schalk Burger, 6 Francois Louw, 5 Victor Matfield, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Bismarck du...

And the country. The reality is we don't have better available. Our best team finished 7th in Super rugby. If we thought we can make a world cup winning effort out of that, we were delusional. I never expected us to go past the semi-final before the tournament started. It's time we're honest...

Yeah. Told him as much on his Facebook page where he posted the same drivel. I was just as unimpressed as he was on Saturday, but creating discontent among fans who regrettedly follow him on social media is uncalled for. Would have been more professional to wait for the announcement and see...

Struggling to see this "big shock" that this wannabe journalist is referring to. Pretty solid team, except for de Villiers, but we knew he was gonna play, so.

The so-called "journalist" now infers on Facebook that something was said by some players against Matfield and de Villiers, so they were axed. So my guess is De Villiers and Matfield would both be there. Apparently the biggest shocks are at midfield and lock. Pure conjecture, but I'm...
