No try

by Taylorman Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:20 pm

man...only fingers in it. gota say France have got the run of these. Looks inevitable though...

by Artful_Dodger Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:21 pm

What an effort by Huget.

by Bullsbok Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:22 pm

Wayne Barnes is the biggest tw$t that ever got involved in the great sport of rugby mad

by Taylorman Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:23 pm

I tiought he was having a good game personally

by ME-109 Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:26 pm

Nicolas Mas....legend....what a player.

by ME-109 Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:29 pm

What a load of rubbish by Barnes. Clearly biased towards SA....usual Anglo stuff.

by **Galted** Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:31 pm

Watching Ruan Pienaar playing in slow-motion while everyone else plays at normal speed is a bit like watching The Matrix.

by ME-109 Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:34 pm

Barnes just making it up now...

by Scratch Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:41 pm

Hope Alain rolland is watching

by quinsforever Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:42 pm

how was that not a dive backwards by habana? thats pathetic. do we have players throwing their heads back to get someone yellow carded whenever their feet leave the ground?

by The Saint Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:45 pm

Really?

Yes Bryan Habana decided the best thing to do when i'm being lifted without the ball is to to bang my head backwards and risk injury just so another player can get yellow Shocked

I just said that but someone deleted it..must be Biltong cos he doesn't like people complaining about the Boks...

The sad thing is that the Boks don't seem to have a clue attacking wise....also Barnes is helping them all night...

Best dive all day....9.9 in gymnastics

by Taylorman Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:47 pm

very unlucky...massive bounce on a dead pitch? crazy...

by RDSguru Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:49 pm

Scores anyone?

by ME-109 Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:49 pm

Red card no?

by Scratch Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:49 pm

ffs why would he dive, he was flattened by a prop who picked him up and tipped him over.

by Bullsbok Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:50 pm

What was the silly frenchie slapping JDV for in the first place. Then acts suprised when he gets a reaction. Stupidness

by The Saint Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:50 pm

If you want geriatrics take a look at Pape crying over a simple face-rub.

hey bullsbok i'm a 100% neutral here. look at the expression on his face, he's looking for the yellow immediately after he threw himself backwards. worse than ashton's dive if you ask me as he's actually trying to get someone yellowed rather than just a pen. just goes to show one can't risk lifting the player off the ground at all as the default interpretation currently is yellow/red.

Yeah, and really really stupid of Louw. Wtf was the point of that?

by Scratch Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:52 pm

Man of the match….for his tackling and overall impact on the game. The pitch.

by ME-109 Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:52 pm

FFS...no.20 clearly went for the head even though Dulin slipped....

by **rodders** Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:53 pm

Allez les bleus!

by ME-109 Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:54 pm

Strauss clearly did not come in from the backfeet....

to be fair, with the slip and hegith of dulin it was either head or ankle!

You'd think Louw would have learnt his lesson, he got binned for the same offence versus Wales, and gave the croud a cheeky smile whilst sat in the bin Wink

. So really, it was beyond stupidity.

by **Notch** Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:56 pm

This hasn't been the best day of test rugby in terms of quality, but I have high hopes for Ireland vs France tomorrow.

Like the AB match France finished strong again and had their chances. SA's defence was too strong and they took their chances and went close on others. Deserved win.

Not even going to predict how France will go 6N as they did this last year and ended up last!

by ME-109 Sat Nov 23, 2013 9:59 pm

Jeez...they say NH rugby is boring...only one team tried to play expansive rugby....SA were just there usual selves. Only reason they are good this year is the forwards have all added a few Kilos...

I have absolutely no respect for players who deliberately goad reactions from the opposition. Pape should have been punched for his efforts , he knew excatly what he was doing.

by **Biltong** Sat Nov 23, 2013 10:01 pm

How the hell Meyer sees anything that can help SA in Ruan Pienaar is beyond me.

If you look at the dictionary for the explanation of the word pedantic, then there is a picture of Pienaar.

It frustrates me to no end seeing this guy at the back of a ruck.

I don't like to see it in rugby either, it's such wendyball behaviour.

by The Saint Sat Nov 23, 2013 10:05 pm

And how anyone could think Habana did a backwards dive when he was tackled off the ball I really do not know.

but he's so good for Ulster Biltong...thats the main thing.

Thought the Boks controlled play well actually and something needs to be done about these pitches. This one looked like the plough mailfunctioned and when manic. You cant play test matches with that kind of footing.

Scoreline flatters France.

Oosthuizen was my motm, dismantled both looseheads he came up against.

Whether Habana dived or not ( How he was meant to dive backwards then smash his own head purposefully on the pitch is beyond me ) doesnt matter. He shouldnt have been getting lifted off the ball in the first place .

Well if you are talking about an arm wrestle then you are correct. If you are talking about a rugby game then.....I don't think so.
