      ​@xguilbert, just as the blind ben o'keef, very decisively made the wrong decision at the end, denying any tmo review, to give france a scrum possession when the france player was clearly offside and blocked the pass from faf out the ruck. ben o'keef was a completely trash ref in all regards. you cannot blame their loss on that one bad decision when there have been many other outrageous and downright terrible decisions against both teams throughout the entirety of the game.

It's so rare to see a game when literally every player was on point both mentally & physically. Marginal decision making was the only difference such as SA going for a tap & go set move leading to the Etzebeth try & then France opting for 3 points in a similar situation soon after. The intensity & discipline under pressure were a sight to behold. Great stuff, and what a RWC it has been thus far.

Fiji with a brave fight back against England but ultimately not enough and then finish the weekend with one of the most insane back and forth, game of two halves that there has ever been.
      Let's hope the semis and final can be as competitive and exciting. 👍

    Devastated really. I'm trying to scroll scenarios in my head of where it went wrong. Several places really. I think we - the French - offered too many counter attack opportunities and lost our nerves when it mattered. French social media is lambasting the ref but we just made too many mistakes against a fantastic side. I don't remember SA playing so well. So yeah, it hurts because this was our best ever side by some distance and the French federation had gone to extreme financial length to make things happen. In the end, it's a case of never the bride, once more. We get respect and admiration all over the world for our French flair but without the killer instinct, it's not good enough. This going to take some deep soul searching for me and possibly many French fans.

      You can see Mostert was perplexed but Etsebeth's yellow changed that aspect. Initially it seemed as if Kwagga and Vermeulen were confused as to who was at the back of the scrum.
      It seemed a bit befuddled but the Boks adapted.

Kolbie intercepting a conversion on a very debatable situation (watch the wide angle provided after the game). A yellow card against Etzebeth that could have become red remaining yellow. Couple more elbows to the face that we won't bother looking at, including on Dupont. Our players falling in the french side of the ruck when they can't compete anymore to slow down the pace. Sequences where the ref he's gonna tell us "release", "get away", "nooooo" 3-4 phases in a row, without penalty. Impossible for France to play their game. And finally we've done a bulldozer once we got possession in the french 10 meters to score a try and win by 1 point. Perfect night.

      Rugby's a funny game. At any moment there are probably about three infractions the ref could punish. Most he lets slide because, if he didn't, the game would be an unwatchable mess. This means that any losing side can blame the ref for calls that didn't go their way (just ask Rassie). This is especially true in such a close game, where any bit of luck, good or bad, would have swayed things. But, I think, in this match the number of calls that could have gone the other way was fairly balanced - whether you're South African or French or French pretending you're South African.
      In any event, I'm sorry France is out. They deserve to be in the semis and the tournament is poorer without them.

    What a GAME! Rugby was certainly the winner here. Gees, my nerves are finished! Well done Bokka. Well done to the French as well, they thoroughly entertained the world and gave us all a great game to remember. The first half - was some of the finest rugby I can recall. Certainly the best 40 mins of rugby at this World Cup. EPIC! Thanks for your awesome review as always mate.

    Pollard stepping up huge. Duane coming back from the hia was huge as well, bongi was getting a bit wild when chatting to ben, the team looked flustered, having pollard and Duane on brought some calm and we managed to execute from there. OX may the best scrummager in the world by the way, he changed the momentum

    Kolbe's charge down of Ramo's conversion attempt was game saving for the Bokke.

    Interesting , the Boks must have picked a weakness under the high ball for the backs. A great game to watch, and what a comeback by the Boks. Another final class game.
