As an Italian I am ashamed of what Lovotti (and partly n. 17 also) did. There is no place for such behavior anywhere, let alone on the rugby field. I say sorry to our South African friends.
All good, Stargazer - the foolish action of one player doesn't take away the respect and passion of Italian Rugby. Also saw Sergio checking on Vermeulen after that tip tackle, showing great concern - a class act
Yes we have come through to the finals. Your Vanuatu especially Port Vila and Efate supporters are with you in this final and pray that will get the Rugby World cup 2019. As usal sit around bowls of our traditional kava. watch to night. Even England is also tough nad confidence you will make it. God Bless South Africa.
Should have been both Italian players red carded though... imagine if that was NZ vs SA, without a doubt both players would have been red carded and put on report with follow up match bans because both picked up the SA player and drove him head first into the ground. Here in NZ rugby is our sport and we see hard hits all the time but this one made me actually cringe and have serious concern for our South African brother, looked like a neck breaker
Honestly I have no idea what Lovotti was thinking there. They had an advantage due to offside and they were 5 meters off. They could have scored there and put them within one score of the Boks, and then who knows what could've happened then(unlikely, but, you never know). It would of least made for a more exciting match. It's these kinds of stupid plays that are costing this Italian team so much, and in this game it's as blatant as ever.
Italy played the man and not the ball...simple as that...there should have been a couple of yellows against them too...whats with the delayed shoving of the try scorer ?
@Alfa&Omega 00000 Much as they talked up the game, they were never going to win it. But yes, without the red card and the uncontested scrums, it would have been a better contest. Still would have ended in a comfortable win for SA though. Sorry.
Ivor Biggun Umm...in all honesty even if Italy didn’t get the red card they still would’ve lost to South Africa 🇿🇦 imo. Boks just have too much firepower for a team like Italy.
Yes I did . He is a awful commentator . He is one of twenty at least uo here in Ireland , England , Scotland ,, Wales . In all sports its beyond A Joke . They really are hard work .
yeah you might be on to something. i watched it yesterday but i can remember people scoring tries and then being pushed over out of play and players being held by their feet in the air and dropped. nasty stuff.
@Alfa&Omega 00000 Respect for a superior opposition. The Italians were shocking on the day & I'm not even referring to their performance. Too much off the ball & employing spoiling tactics. Lovotti & Quaglio should be cited for the "assault" (can't think of a better word) on Duane Vermeulen & both should receive lengthy bans. If you can't have respect for your opponents at least have some respect for the game & the laws that govern it.
He also steps the other way when required! Check out the other videos that focus just on him. The left then right is just because of where he happens to be on the field...
nathan van der Riet Potentially yes, I usually consider spear tackles to be horizontal though (Bokke had several big spear tackles in the game) so may have been some confusion.
Italy plated with zero class, where as SA were so calm infact, besides Messi and such ppl, if you give the kind of energy Italians did, in soccer, the other team would have retaliated and stooped to their level
At 13:45 apparently there is no blocking in rugby? Still learning but that definitely makes things difficult. Person with ball must be furthest up the field?
Indeed, blocking (obstructing) is illegal in rugby. It's not necessary for the person with the ball to be the furthest up the field - you simply cannot impede others from tackling the ball-carrier (not counting mauls, of course).
I was Also Very Surprised EBEN ETZEBETH DIDN'T GO IN AND CLEAN HOUSE . He was looking right at it . Ps he is one of my all time Favourite Player's . He is in my all time 15 along with Joost RIP. IV BEEN FOLLOWING RUGBY FOR YEARS . SOUTH AFRICA HAVE HAD SOME SERIOUSLY GREAT PLAYER'S AND STILL DO .
16:24 Notice the refereeing till the try - plenty of scrapy play and penalities (holding on the ball etc.) but to "play on" makes the game just brilliant. A good ref makes for a great game, not hearing a whistle is so amazing idk why. "AM scores at a walking pace" - yeah because the ref didn't blow his whistle and give them a little 'rest'
we only have 2 games against Japan and its 1-1. I prefer Japan so that we starting showing our brilliance on records, plus they are survivors and hard workers, i'm sure it will be a great game
We should face Japan unless they crash and burn against Scotland. We are also far more equiped to contain the Japanese than the Irish were. Japan also won't be as physical, which is good, because if we have to play Ireland, then Wales, then New Zealand, we will be broken by the final.
Remember this game. Only 17-3 half time, Italy had the chance to close the gap early second half to 17-6 or 17-10, then they needlessly get a red card from an absolutely ridiculous tackle. The SA player was literally vertical as he went down on his head. Could have been a much more interesting game without the red.
I do not have live coverage in Thailand of the match so I could only watch the extended highlights of 22 min. During those 22 min I saw the Springbok captain handle the the ball once and got tackled after 3 or 4 meters and once he was guilty of obstruction that cost SA a try. What is this player doing in the team? After the game during the press interview he got one question and looked pathetic.
Garry & Carlos I do not know what match you watched but No 6 was the one that caused the obstruction when Stef du Toit scored and in the 22 min I watched the captain made two tackles and he once handled the ball. I really do not know where these stats you mentioned came from.
Does anyone else think the obstruction call just before 14min was a bit tough? Not a terrible call. I've just seen much worse and deliberate obstructions not penalised.
@Dustin McCrindle maybe due to the player didn’t look like he was deliberately obstructing... but maybe a different camera angle would have shown different
10:13 50 metre break which should have lead to Italy making the score 17-10 but instead the Italian Prop gets sent off for an incident after the Ref blew the whistle.
@@devinerentalsltd8708 It might be that they became frustrated because they could not break through the Springbok defense (So far in the WC the Springboks have only conceded two tries). The tackles the Springboks were making hit their pride and these props thought enough was enough and wanted to scare the Springboks with a tackle like that no matter the costs. What this sap (the unlucky one) did not think of was the consequences towards his action. And they are... A reverse penalty. A red card. A chance of winning the game. A suspension. And a chance of winning the World Cup (which was very slim).
Obviously the chances are not great. But IF that should happen, a lot depends on bonus points. SA currently on 10 and would assume they get the win with bonus point against Canada, so they would finish on 15. NZ is on 9, but they are guaranteed 5 points against Namibia which would put them on 14 and Italy on 10 before that game. Thus of Italy beat NZ, and NZ does not get a bonus point, NZ will be out. No chance, but that is the scenario.
@@matto6195 only of Italy beat NZ with a bonus point for 4 tries, and NZ lose with a bonus point.

This Bok team is magical. It's not often you get a team you love every one of them, but this is such a team. My Boois!!!
16:24 to 18:00 is probably the greatest advertisement for rugby that I’ve ever seen. It’s beautiful madness and glorious chaos.
And still people say South Africa are boring...
I was thinking the same. I'm hooked!
I’d say 15:00 to 18:00
de Allende's pass under pressure is world class
South African players are so respectful. Well-deserved champion
22 minutes of highlights, there is a god...
George Hornsby hahah I know
Can we just talk about how good the Boks passing was??
Yes some superb handling in this game - in particular, the skills of: Snyman, Mbonambi, Du Toit and De Allende - Belissima

18:36 That one hand catch of Snyman from a lineout is Gold 👌👌🤾♂️
His hand is as big as a steering wheel..I'm not joking..signed my jersey when he was still playing for the Bulls
Well played from your supporters in Vanuatu. Will watch your progress to the Semis..Good Luck and God Bless

Mate, I think he's better. Habana never had a step like Kolbe does.
He is nothing like Habana though, a completely different type of winger
Kolbe is kolbe. Habana was a good finisher but couldn’t make something out of nothing like kolbe, and in all honesty had a disastrous 2010-2011.
Kolbe always seems to run for his life among all these giants - his success is sheer struggle for survival ;-)
@@oumasannie1 you are the sort of knobhead that wants to put a legend like Habanna down.
How dare you !
Italy played the man and not the ball...simple as that...there should have been a couple of yellows against them too...whats with the delayed shoving of the try scorer ?
I didn't enjoy seing Cheslin or Lukhanyo shoved, not nice at all.
That was a dreadful and utterly pointless tackle which led to the sending off. Sealed Italy's fate.
Think their fate was sealed when they left the change room. But yes, utterly ridiculous tackle.

Respect, yes. But not with discipline. A lot of penalties. This is how I feel. (PS: except the tip tackle. That;s just nasty).

@Alfa&Omega 00000 You are right, but idk it just doesn't feel a good game to me by their part
Kolbe is a natural to step left then right and score his try is the final exactly the same step.
