Mopar Madness and Superbee are worldclass Twonks
That's also true. The game is very fast paced there
My score was SA 67 - 15 Portugal. Got close. RG Snyman was a beast. The Bok attack stuttered with Libbok, (as usual can't kick)but when Sacha came on, it became very fluent and what a slippery candidate. He is the future flyhalf for the Boks. What a player. Mapimpi back to his old self, hattrick well done.
I have repeatedly checked and there was no head on head. That red shouldn't even have been a yellow. That was very harsh. Portugal didn't stand a chance but they really tried the whole 80 minutes. They impressed me. They will see top 10 by the next WC.
Overall good game for the ref. Allowed it to flow but a few mistakes for Hollie. Guess blowing a Bok game was very stressful for her, so giving her a break.
Sacha is a natural 10. Playing him at 15 is a waste of his talents.
SFM at 10 and DW at 15 for the win.
SFM was born to play 10 for the Boks.
Maybe he forgot his glasses? Mind you, given his general comments, he probably watches rugby with a white stick. Or maybe a Bok stole his girl? Heck I think his GF would’ve fallen a guy who made the Grifoons wider pre-season squad…
I live in your head
Good first half. Portugal just go missing on defence.
That red card is the biggest load of bollocks ever in the history of refereeing. What a joke.
The TMO is a doos.
I’m not really interested in continuing a pointless and petty thread. Let’s holster our peashooters.
I want to know why you’re saying there was no head to head contact, because I want to know whether I overlooked or misunderstood something.
If you go to “samstone” “imgbb” “com”, with fullstops inbetween (sorry, just trying to get around the rp censors) you should see three screenshots, before, during and after the tackle. The middle image shows, imo, clear head on head contact. What do you see?@Zaan is also welcome to weigh in.
I’m not interested in a flame war. Not even in a skirmish. Turdflow and his band of blind persons provide more than enough of that. I’m interested in genuine rugby discussion. And when we disagree so radically about something where we both looked at the same video, my question is what the hell?
Please look and tell me what I’m missing.
Agreed, what a joke!
Well there was zero head on head contact. So I suggest Holly wear her glasses in the second half.
How can yiu watch this game
What?! There was direct head on head contact. AE should fkn learn to tackle. If he’d gone in six inches lower we’d still be at 15.
Hi. How do I watch on this forum?
Same
great to watch
Hagh
Bloemfontein stadium. What a vibe!!
