Got overrun in the end

I know I spoke to a Japanese person a few months back and said they struggle with physical sports and again it showed. Unfortunately they don't have enough grunts and its simply not in their DNA. But a marked improvement and I think if they more tier 1 rugby they'll only get better.

Got England vs Wales in the finals (biased Brit here)

They were dominating possession first half but South Africa just manhandled them in the mauls, cut down on the mistakes and killed them on lineouts. Japan should be proud making it to the qf but should have lost that game by 40.

I think we're gonna suffocate Wales. As much as i criticize the Boks for dumb tactics at times, the one thing we have and can do is execute under intense pressure.

Team selection is gonna be huge, Kolbe at Fullback and Cobus Reinach on the bench.


Also Erasmus takes forever to make tactical subs no matter how kak Faf is kicking those dumb box kicks.

Most of his subs are like for like, Cobus Reinach, Gelant, Nkosi and Willemse add a different magic and flair. I only ask for just 2 of them, Reinach and someone else.

Despite the bullshyt kicks Faf was MOTM v Japan with mapimpi a close second. It’s le roux’s selection that concerns me the most.

There's nothing we can do about that French Boer, Le Roux will never be dropped.

He's white, he went to Grey College, he's from Bloemfontein... Rassie cannot drop him. :troll:


There's rumors of Kolbe being injured, hopefully we can see Nkosi finally start.
I can't shake this feeling that a Le Roux fukk up will cost us the World Cup :francis::mjcry:
