Penalty wales!

 

[mark_s]

penalty, kickable but with whats going on who know if he will get it

 

[Nusadan]

Should have been a penalty to Saffies as tackler didnt release before trying for the ball...

 

[potjiekos]

Another Wayne Barnes special! You go boy.....

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Shit!

 

[maxdacat]

17-16 still

 

[Nusadan]

Bugger

Miss, like almost every other kicker this RWC

 

[AngrySeahorse]

And thats what happens when you fart arse around at the ruck...

 

[potjiekos]

Brussouw.....superb!!

Will mean change in tactics to going for a line out rather than for goal instead...for the rest of the RWC, I hope!

It must suck supporting Wales all the time - they should be 10 ahead

 

[maxdacat]

Scrum wales. Last roll of the dice.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

And Wales commit bloody no one to that break down, the defence blunder letting in SA for the final try the difference.

 

[Nusadan]

Saffies got out of jail there...

So we come back to that 'missed' kick. No doubt the media will be all over that one!

I think the Assistant referees won't be refereeing again.....

It's a shame it has to end on this note

 

[potjiekos]

Relief!! ....A win non the less....... Well done Wales, worthy opponents!! Spirited performance in wet conditions.....

 

[cyclopath]

Well done , SA, I guess. Escaped somehow from a game Wales ought to have won by 10 I reckon. I'd die of heart disease supporting Wales. How did they not win that? Kicked away a lot of good ball in good field position. Love to see another angle of that penalty kick. Touchie probably had the best position, so maybe shouldn't be too harsh. If Matfield and JdV gone, added to Bakkies, and factoring in that Smit has to play most of each game, the Bokke have some issues.

There is a trend emerging here that teams aren't kicking the penalties needed to win. MAybe it the ball, maybe its the weather but it aint happening. Everyone will be trying to work out whats going on with the kicking but there maybe some tactic adjustments in order.
