    First half was much better.


    The first 30 minutes weren’t any better.

    :D

    Saffas have no scrum half replacement with their 7-1 bench split.
    Could be a huge issue if Faff gets injured or binned.

    Should already have been binned for deliberately taking out the NZ wing imo.

    NZ throwing this away with their tackles, and throws.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Saffas lying about the hooker sub - claiming it's tactical when the whole world can see it was injury enforced.

    Lots going the way of the Boks at the moment.

  • Game over with that red card.
    This sport is becoming all about the TMO, inconsistent decisions and not the rugby.
    Can’t be arsed to watch any more.

    Sam Cane's yellow upgraded to red.
    So many decisions have gone in favour of the saffas this tournament it;s unreal.

    Should be yellow for Etzebeth - blatant lazy runner killing the attack.

    1 or 2 bleus in the stadium seemed to agree with you there DB... 😂

    Kolise yellow, looks worse to me than Cane's.
    From distance, far more force.

    Commentary team called it the same to be fair.

    Try about to be disallowed

    This final really is showcasing the absolute worst of Union at the moment...

    Was surprised when Barnes said no knock on to be honest.

    Must say the last 10 have been rather spicy...

    Well on the night SA deserve that...

    ABs playing like...well...England...

    Wayne missed the illegal turnover, called it off the foot which it wasn't.
    Yet again the Saffas get the key decision at the end....
  • And the third, one point, get out of gaol free win….

    They had a crucial one go against them for the AB’s try as well though. The final pass looked very forward.

    Good lord this empty feeling might be worse than the end of the tour...

    Less all encompassing, but for much longer
