    People were talking about the Japenese fitness levels, look at South Africa, the size and fitness of them. All legal and above board.

    Should Kolbe be penalised there? He dumped a guy over his shoulder, with no ability to control how he landed...
    Other guy was the tackler so no.

    This is exactly how we should have seen out the pool game against Japan

    After 8 line outs and 8 mauls we get the try, from the halfway line.

    Joe Schmidt would be proud of this second half performance by South Africa. An exhibition of a suffocating display.

    This could potentially turn into a high scoring game for SA before the end. Japan look out on their feet.

    Sayonara Japan. RSA on a real push here. Could be a painful loss. Probably not as bad as Ireland yesterday mind lol.

    Probably a hiding now

    Not the most creative team, but certainly effective and efficient. Rassie has done a stellar job

    Interesting one v Wales. Don't expect it to be pretty, and probably low scoring up the jumper stuff, but I reckon it'll be very tight

    You know, an England-Wales final is not out of the question.

    Felix Jones, only Irishman left in the World Cup, who would have thought that a few months ago.

    The covering Japanese player could have made a tackle there but instead ran all the way up to him and tried to grab him round the shoulders. FFS. Schoolboy stuff.

    One part of that equation has a possibility close to zero! Reckon we may be back to the first great match of this RWC.

    Do SA team not like Kolbe, maybe they can't pass off left hand.

    Putting things in context, Ireland would have beaten neither of the teams in the this match.
    Been a great game and high tempo power, Ireland's slow position kicking would have been eaten up.

    Jesus, I am going to have to watch Wales in a world cup final, kudos to Gatland, the master of the long game.

    This could be a bit tragic.

    Valiant attempt by Japan.

    That had to be one of the worst cover tackles I've ever seen
