RWC 2019 SF2: SA vs Wales

[Blue]

Willie will play his best game from now on.

HE is due, and he owes the team a better performance.

I do not think he has been as bad as people make out. Two bad passes last week but he was good under the high ball. He has to improve marginally to look a lot better.

Wales are going to pop high balls onto Sbu's wing early on to test him. They would not have treid that with Kolbe but might see it as an opportunity now.

 

[Blue]

Would still have had Kwagga instead of Louw. He covers wing. But Louw's work at the breakdown when he comes on is what gets him in. He has this knack of stealing a couple as soon as he comes on.

I haven't felt this nervous in a long time.

Cant see the Springbokke winning this. Wales have to much experience and have our number for a few years now. Wales by 13.

I just wondering how much Wales way of just hanging in there and scraping in a win will be a factor. Though I imagine the Boks have got this, I do think Wales are pretty mentally tough.

 

[John S]

I think the Saffa's have it too, it will be a tough close game looking at the teams. I just hope the refs don't fall for any of the Welsh gamsemanship at scrum time.

Wales will be all too happy Kolbe is not there, I feel they may underestimate Nkosi so I tip him to have a good day.

Welsh back row to learn what it's like to face an in-form PSdT.

Kolisi finally getting up to speed as well.

Personally I would have liked Steyn at 15 even if just for the first half. When Wales kick, get the ball to him and let him make some drop goal attempts. Even if he misses, the point being sending the message: "Are you sure you wanna do that?" And pinning them in their half as well, since that's usually what Wales do, they pin you in your half and grind.

Die tannie moes vanoggend haar eie onderklere was in Lagos. Ek hou maar net die mockers gelukkig.

Can the Springbokke pitch up and beat the two NH giants? Dunno, still in shock after yesterday.

Hell YES.

Just do it Bokke!

 

[Joe Blow]

What are we thinking? The Boks too strong up front or Wales have a decent shot of winning the whole shooting match on the back of the 6Ns?

 

[Teh Other Dave]

Serious question: do you reckon Nick McCardle changed his name after listening to the 12th Man in the 90s?

 

[Derpus]

Le Roux fucking shit up already

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Get the feeling that whichever team gets to 3-0 will immediately shut it down and play pick-and-go's to run down the clock for the remaining 60-odd minutes.

So far they're trading penalties.

Not exactly vintage Blitzkrieg Paremoremo Jailbreak Polynesian Basketball here. More like cardiganed old codgers quietly dozing in the reading room while serving out 99 consecutive life sentences

This is totally turgid stuff

 

[The Honey Badger]

Commentators tough on Wales.

The best 2 attacking plays were both Wales down the left side.

Just endless aimless box kicks from Boks
