    Most exciting game of the day by far

    SdF crowd goes silent as France blow a 23-9 lead


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 128 ✭✭The Dagestani Eagle


    France cowards as always.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    They're over!

    What a win.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,078 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


    What a win for SA! Gutted for France, but from what I saw SA deserved that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,587 ✭✭✭Fann Linn


    Brilliant. French don't know what hit them.

    Incredible finish to a game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    Incredible bottle job from a French perspective but fair play to SA.

    This is a great example of why the change in laws to allow to kick to touch to advance the ball at the end of the game is brilliant.

    Jesus how did France lose that? Shades of NZ 2013. And Nigel Owens in the middle again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,218 ✭✭✭OldRio


    What a finish. Well done RSA but I do feel sorry for France.


  • Posts: 1,300 ✭✭✭ Nicole Young Cemetery


    The French look devastated.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,728 ✭✭✭Former Former


    There was a horrible inevitability about that. France just can't keep from blowing their own toes off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 79,356 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    That was some finish. France choked completely.

    Fair call France pinged for holding on, didn't need to pick and go as individual carriers, its their own fault.


    Pollard nailed the kick to ruin my France +3.

    Huge drama. Gotta feel for France though. To think all that came from a penalty for holding on near the SA line in the last minute of the game in which they were 4 points up. Terrible discipline from them.

    Great finish from SA but they also got bloody lucky. That penalty kick from their own line was stupid beyond belief. They were incredibly fortunate that France blew that.

    its fairly ignorant to be honest

    I’m sorry, but you’ve been trolling all day.
    Getting a players name wrong (who is fairly new on the scene internationally) is hardly ignorant.

    Ignorant is doing things like bringing up players eligibility over and over again ad nauseam.........

    Or this:
    France cowards as always.

    Jantjes nearly messed that up. Time was nearly up and he had the penalty kick to touch with the clock running down. Very lucky lad to not run out of time (Nigel was chatting away) and then he nearly failed to make touch.

    I thought Kolbe's disallowed try could have been given as a penalty try as technically the tackler went above the shoulder.


    3 great games today. This new format could make the autumn series very interesting going forward.

    Or this:

    If you knew your rugby , you would know who Cheslin Kolbe is-he plays for Toulouse who beat Leinster quite recently.
    I never brought up a players eligibility today?

    I find the mob mentality and back seat modding here quite unfriendly.

    They have put in numerous cowardly performances the last few years. If they win i have nothing to say. Its on them.

    You have followed me into this thread to gang up with another poster and you are quoting a post about Aki which was 100 percent factually correct, and you are asking me to leave?

    Don't really understand rankinhs system. Are Ireland too far behind NZ to overtake them even if they win? Does each match get a specific points score in advance?
