Like Liam Henderson, these quarter finals have delivered

[Sloop67]

I'm out of breath just watching this game

[cabbageandribs1875]

13 mins to get some points in the 2nd half, poor game


anyway 25-19


25-29

28-29

[Jones28]

The incessant music is really annoying.

[Jones28]

6 mins left, SA lead by 1 and look like they’ve got the momentum.

[cabbageandribs1875]

we've just watched the 2023 WC winners












imo :)

[CropleyWasGod]

England the only unbeaten team.

[Bishop Hibee]

It’s quite unbelievable a ***** England team has reached the semis. I genuinely think South Africa will destroy them.

[cabbageandribs1875]

another great rugby side knocked out at the QF stage

Hopefully France win that bronze

You had me . It's been a long rugby weekend........

To be fair, the 2 QF in Paris should have been the SF.

[cabbageandribs1875]

two guesses for which participating country had fans fighting amongst themselves























well, maybe just the one guess required to be fair

Can’t see anything other than two pretty straightforward wins for ABs and SA. England possibility but will need to up their gear several levels. All blacks by over 25 South Africa by 15 to 20.

England have done really well and will be a force again soon. But SA are so powerful and clever. Charging down a conversion successfully and opting for scrum after the mark were two moves I'd not seen before.

Think England have been pretty poor and only just beaten both Japan and Fiji. Think with the quality of player they haven't been great however if they put their best foot forward certainly have a chance. Can't see it though.

I’m nae rugby expert in any way but I got the impression they’ve been pretty fortunate and are not in the same league as SA, or New Zealand.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i just mucked up my bet, because i was running out of time i accidentally chucked £25 on an Argentina win at +18, when i actually wanted to put it on NZ at -18, very fortunate to cash out 90 seconds into the game and get my full £25 back


missed out on putting it back on now it's started though, ah well :)

[cabbageandribs1875]

some lovely rugby from the all-blacks

17 mins 3-12 NZ

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Long night for Argentina methinks.

[weecounty hibby]

NZ are the absolute masters of doing the simple things well. Only 2 pens that half as well I think. Amazing discipline when defending. On a wet night, with a wet ball they are passing it like it's a sunny night and they are just playing touch. The greatest sporting dynasty without a doubt

[Jones28]

NZ making it look easy.

[cabbageandribs1875]

never in doubt ;)


99.3% of the worlds population want a NZ v SA final, 50% of the 0.7% wanting England in the final are NZ fans


i'm sure of it

[Sloop67]

England will try to keep it tight tomorrow, they will try to stifle South Africa and to control possession then kick downfield and win penalties or get drop goal opportunities, they're a long way behind The Boks and the ABs but sometimes that doesn't mean very much, hopefully South Africa will be able to counter England's game plan

[heretoday]

The NZ kicker was a bit offline tonight. That could be crucial in a final against SA whose Pollard is the best in the world.

South Africa are the absolute masters when the game is played tight and physical. It's been there trademark for years.

England will be lucky to keep it to a respectable distance. South Africa, Ireland, NZ and France are all way ahead of the other nations. A shame that the way the draw turned it they weren't the semis.

Pollard hasn't been starting for SA in their big games though. Libbock is their first choice ten at the moment. Libbock isn't a great kicker either with Faf deklerk taking over in one game I watched
