    Barnes would have given a scrum penalty there immediately to whoever!!

    Must have needed a breather!

    SA are ripping up their stereotype!

    Going for the scrum was a decision you don't see that often. Coupled with the blocked conversion and 6 tries, this has been an unreal first half.

    Kitschoff stupid. The ref was coaching him out of a peno and still held on.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,342 ✭✭✭Eoinbmw


    yellow no more!

    Yellow. No way red.

    Maybe just a penalty in hindsight.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,045 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Atonio was dipping when carrying that ball.

    Not sure that's yellow for Etzebeth. Definitely a penalty.

    These head clashes are so dangerous

    Gamechanger

    This is phenomenal.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,876 ✭✭✭ongarite


    That a red by the letter of the law

    Doesn't look that bad, crowd acting like he clotheslined him

    Yellow is probably fair by modern standards



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 36,957 CMod ✭✭✭✭ShamoBuc


    Deserved yellow, but no more.

    I don't think so



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 637 ✭✭✭Coolcormack1979

  • Posts: 2,457 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Big 10 min after half time. SA need to hold them.

    Late change of direction by the prop. No way thats a red but a rassie video would give fierce entertainment tuesday



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 79,532 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    Kinda turned his head into it. Yellow only.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,300 ✭✭✭Jacovs


    **** me.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 634 ✭✭✭CptMonkey


    He was bent at the waist so only a yellow for me.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,604 ✭✭✭ersatz


    Wow. Puts everything else we’ve seen so far in the shade.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,930 ✭✭✭Dick phelan


    I fear it will be a red when if it was France it would be a yellow.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 773 ✭✭✭supernova5


    must be up there as one of the greatest 40 minutes of rugby union games



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,205 ✭✭✭Enzokk


    I think he is in trouble here, Antonio is a tall man and he still hit him high, with force and I don't see a change of direction from Antonio. I think it could be red.


    South Africa playing like they always do, low percentage rugby. Kick the ball and play from the chaos. Try from a turnover. That run from the 22 was because there was penalty advantage, not because they are adventurous. Low risk rugby, a bit like a Mourinho masterclass in that Champions League semi, but France is not standing back. Will be interesting to see how the forwards go without a front 5 coming on. Now you have a lightweight hooker and only one lock from the bench.

    What a half! But feel in reality that France were far more dangerous.

    Etzebeth surely just a yellow, he was going lower which should be enough mitigation I think. It would be horrible if a game like this was decided by a card.
