Your contribution has been absolutely terrible in this thread.

As for Owens, if anything he has been terrible Samoa's way. A knock down which looked as if he didn't have intent to intercept, probably a yellow card. Owens has made countless errors both ways, but the crucial ones have been while Samoa were attacking.

To be honest I don't watch Rugby to see the Nigel Owens show and his unnecessary and irrelevent talking. Owens needs to learn rugby is about the rugby and not about him.

Cracking game of rugby, the ref wasn't Samoa's worst enemy. They were. Their forced passes and ill discipline.

Who was the touchy, the new Cobus Wessels! Anyway, Smit was definately yellow card, he made absolutely no attempt to intercept that ball and they had an overlap. Some line ball calls going against Samoa, I thought they deserved to score there.

Fuck Wales, I'm happy playing South Africa, they looked pretty horrible on attack. We'll cut them to ribbons if they show up like that, simple double round stuff was meddling the bokke defense. If you rock up intending to defend Quade and co. like that they are going to get romped. Bring on the Quarterfinal, hopefully no Habana, no Russow, no Hougaard. Just one fat set of forwards for our backs to step through.

You are assuming of course our lame forwards would be able to get enough front-foot ball against their 'fat set of forwards' for our backs to step through them...

Don't agree with the red card, but you can't blame the ref. Brussow did a massive Greg Louganis - that shit ain't welcome on the rugby field.

From the touchies point of view, it looked like Williams punched Brussow in the face and knocked him down - once again, also not welcome on the rugby field.

Williams = DUMB. Brussow = UNWORTHY OF TAG OF RUGBY PLAYER.

Shame for both players, as both are brilliant.

Pietersen should also have been carded towards the end there for slapping down the ball out of the Samoan's player hand while he was on the ground and offside when Samoa were attacking their line...

Owens ruled it a knock on... bah...

@matty-k..... bias aside, have to concede that Smit is no Habana or de Villiers, but there was a definite attempt an intercept, clearly not a deliberate knock-down. It is obvious that Owens was caught up in the moment trying to balance out the red card. Go figure....

@chief....not my intention to entertain you on this thread, (you could pick your nose for some meaningful contributions!!), besides the palpable fear of a resurgent bok team (bar the obvious injuries) , as well as the obvious bias towards them here on mustard and olive-green.com, should serve as ample entertainment don't you think? Lol....
