We must just score try’s. That’s all. To hell with officialdom and compliances. Just score the f’ing try’s. I need the Boks to do this.

SA will score tries but then the referees will go 13 phases back to see some-one getting their shirt pulled and will penalise for obstruction or tackling without the ball...
The TMO interjections are a bit much in this World Cup but more glaring is what they don't / choose not to see...and it was sad how they refereed Tier 2 teams when they played Toer 1 teams...their default position was that it must have been the Tier 2 team that infringed...

NZ fans must be worried then as Barnes was the ref in 2007 quarter final against France. That was a poor performance from Barnes with NZ fans claiming “ cheat”

I remember a forward pass to the winger that enabled France to score that the refs didn't / couldn't see...

NZ have dropped winger Mark Telea from the game against Ireland.

Fiji's Levani Botia, “the demolition man”, used to work as a prison officer playing for the wardens’ team.

The Boks are training with background noise to prepare for the "hostile" atmosphere they will face against France.

.......hostile frogs and a blind Kiwi.....:ohmy:

Taken a clean sweep SH @ 40/1 but won’t happen as they want an all NH final Ireland v England or France final

I wonder who got the Tender to do the numbers on the Welsh jerseys.

So why is that Welsh player still on the pitch? Yellow at least for that.IRB so desperate for all NH sides to get through. SA might as well pack up this evening and head to wherever they going after the WC.

Think you will change your tune after that 'unbelievable' mistake on the Argentinian player hitting the Welch guy with a shoulder to the head - and not even a penalty given by the incompetent referee replacing Peyper - anyway I think Wales could rightfully have a case on that incident, but to be fair they made too many mistakes and Argentinia imo deserved the win in the end :dry:

Chances are good that England will be the only Northern Hemisphere team still standing after the weekend.

The Welsh player was on his way down when the Argentinian player hit him so no red, no yellow and no penalty.

“Not every head contact is foul play”

Ireland-NZ...cracking game...
