The Rugby Thread

[Irishnev]

Zap said it last night about pedigree, Ireland don’t have it and I’d argue France don’t either but SA and NZ have it in spades. They win the big games and that’s why they have so many WCs between them

[kingfunk]

Hard to see past SA now, even more gutting for Ireland!

[Buzzo]

That pedigree shines through again.

Not sure we can top that. France were superb, but the desire from South Africa and the defence was just insane.

Wow.

[Irishnev]

I called SA from the start - unbelievable tonight, what a game…… even better than last night

[RichC]

Not a chance the final lives up to that

[Zapater]

Oh my ****.

[RichC]

What a match

Fair play SA for getting through that

[RichC]

Officials missed that

[RichC]

Great try that, pure power

[Buzzo]

Jalibert having a great game also.

[RichC]

DuPont is ridiculous.

This should be the final.

Both teams have been outstanding

[Buzzo]

DuPont is ridiculous.

[RichC]

That’s the best half of Rugby I’ve ever seen I reckon.

They cannot upgrade that to a red. For the sake of this game.

Absolutely

Two amazing sides going at it; do not want this being ruined by a red for what was an accidental head clash

[RichC]

By that logic the guy who was tackled should also get a yellow by virtue of his head being in alignment of the tackle and having a head above his shoulders.

It’s pointless arguing with me on this.

It’s an accident, there’s no malice or intent but that doesn’t matter anymore in the eyes of rugby. Do I agree with it ? No.

Is it the reality of the modern game? Yes

[Zapater]

Rules of rugby these days.

By that logic the guy who was tackled should also get a yellow by virtue of his head being in alignment of the tackle and having a head above his shoulders.
