Referee team absolutely bottled that call against Le Roux.

100% a red. TMO was deliberately misleading to say he landed on his back. It was his neck first.

 

[Bardon]

Yeah it looked pretty bad. He's landed on his neck there. But after the first test I can see why the referee would be reticent to give another red card in this series. Also what the TMO said guided him to yellow.

Nice try from Marshall there. Team didn't panic and we've come away with the try. Every scoring opportunity will be crucial for us today.

 

[Bardon]

The scrum is a real worry for us so far.

 

[Bardon]

Wonderful kick from Jantjies for that try.

Big momentum shift, It will be interesting to see if the Irish can recompose themselves in the 2nd half and swing the momentum back in their favor.

 

[Bardon]

Yeah there's a big quarter coming up for us. We need to take control back early in the second half. We're not very good at chasing a game so we need to get back ahead and try to pull away if we're going to win.

We tend to get loose when we're more than one score behind and give soft turnover/intercept tries as we attempt to force the play.

It's a good game so far. We should have put away that clean break. Marshall and Olding are doing really well in midfield but we have to make the most of their line breaks.

 

[Bardon]

Earls is a fantastic runner but there's always the worry, like there, that he'll get pinger for holding on in the tackle.

 

[mst]

Errors. They are looking promising but just cant finish the moves.

 

[Bardon]

Ross off, hopefully Furlong improves the scrum.

 

[mst]

I thought they were in then! de Klurk try saver

 

[Bardon]

Great try saving intercept there. From our point of view there's too much nearly so far in the 2nd half.

 

[Bardon]

Scrum problems are sapping our momentum.

Scrum problems are sapping our momentum.

In combination with just not converting the chances on attack its making it hard.

 

[Bardon]

Worry for us there. Been on top but SA land the long range penalty. Nothing for us. SA will have another purple patch and they'll score. So we've probably looking at needing at least two more tries.

 

[mst]

If they lose, that collision summarises the game thus far.

 

[mst]

They seem to have lost their composure and direction.

 

[Bardon]

We need something different. Time to look to the bench I think.

 

[Bardon]

We just need one score and suddenly everything is right with the world again. If SA score now we'll fade away.
