Rugby World Cup 2023

To be fair NZ are trying to play all the rugby in this game.

Game on.

Tight game throughout. For most of it, they just cancelled each other out

To win the quarter, semi and final by just 1 point shows how good and disciplined the SA defence is.

Rugby is going down a strange route where defence is wining games, the skill and guile of gifted players is being lost by the use of bigger and bigger players not looking to score tries but get a penalty.

The majority of tries in tight games are scored by forwards off the rolling maul, SA have won 4 finals but not scored a try in 3 of them.

The difference between Association Football and Rugby Football is you pick up the ball and run with the latter…unless you want to win.

I think if Kane hadn't been sent off NZ would have won, I think the red was a tad harsh especially when you see the angle of the tackle.

Agree Steve the Kiwi son in law is not happy, i thought the 1st yellow was more accidental than foul play although i accept SA lost their hooker as a result of it.

Union tackling is going to have to go back to when we played and hit the man around the thighs/waist the higher tackle to prevent the offload will be left to RL teams from now on.

The yellow for the NZ player Frizell was a joke, proven when the TMO confirmed that Frizell had accidentally fallen on Mbonambi's leg and the yellow wouldn't be upgraded to red, so if it was ruled as accidental the yellow card should have been resinded, imo.

It was clear when they showed the replay that he had fallen accidentally.

On another note, they shouldn't be replaying "incidents" in slow motion in my opinion, slow motion gives a false impression of the incident.
