World Cup

Another classic brewing. What a game SA have visited 4 times beyond the French 10 yard line and scored three tries. This is worthy of a final as was the AB match of last night

Both late games (yesterday and tonight), compared to the earlier matches, is like watching the under 15 before the 1st teams come on.

These games should have been the semis but thanks to the IRB for the lopsided draw

James Small's hand supposedly under the ball with the French forward over the line...I think Derek Bevan was the referee...

It pelted with rain on that day...I wrote an Economics exam that Saturday morning and then watched the match that evening...start delayed and every effort was made to get the game started because, if the game didn't go ahead, SA would have been out due to suspension/s arising from the Battle of Boet Erasmus against Canada...

Come on Bokke !!!!!

Phew that was unreal. Real deal for the French who also gave it everything SA players showing their class by not celebrating in the faces of the hosts.

Get in there Bokke :woohoo: :woohoo:

I've perspired out a kg or two even though I didn't play !!

Four great quarter finals....

Yip, unlike England who celebrated beating Fiji like they already won the WC.

You cannot teach class...it is learnt by observation / following examples of others and some choose not to learn...

SA and France have only ever met once in the World Cup and that was in the 1995 rain drenched semi final where the French were cruelly robbed of a winning try near the end of the match

I think that tonight will be pay back time

So close...
