Excellent win for the Boks.
3/4 sh teams in the semi's, not too bad. Could have been 4 if Fiji stayed disciplined vs England.
 
Enjoyed the games over the weekend. All were great watches. Glad the Boks got over the line last night. We couldn’t deal with the physicality of the Frenchies and gave away the ball and territory as a result. Hopefully England doesn’t give us such a hard time so that the final is SA vs NZ.
 
That was one of the most intense games of rugby I have ever watched.

Watched a YT video last night and the one guy said SA had the ball in hand for 99 seconds in the first half and scored three tries.

ball in hand in the french half to be exact. Still an insane stat from a team that "doesn't score tries"
 
That is how you get out of jail, Boks can't play kakker than that.

I think we will have to make a few changes with fresher legs if we want to beat the AB's, I would even think about bringing in Moodie in the midfield in Kriel's place.

I stayed up for the game. At almost 5am I was pretty damn grumpy that I did.

Think we got a good old scare from that game, terrible 1st half and the kicking pressure plan didn’t work and we were too slow to change. Credit to England though. Play like that against the ABs and the score will not be pretty.

Good thing we can reset though.
 
For those of you that are so inclined: https://sshortly.net/PokerBet

Bet at least R50 on the Boks, or Proteas, or anyone in either of the World Cups and you go into a draw for R1mil - but if you bet on the All Blacks then you suck! ;-)

It's a HUGE weekend for South African sport, as the Boks look to become Rugby World Cup champions for a record-breaking fourth time when they tackle the All Blacks tomorrow night!

And with the Proteas all but set to secure a Cricket World Cup semi-final spot with a victory over Pakistan today, it's safe to say the DOUBLE DREAM is still on!

Don't forget, we’re placing ANYONE who places at least a R50 bet on either of the World Cups, on Pokerbet, in a draw to win one of THREE R1,000,000 prizes should SA achieve the impossible and win both.

Place your bet on any of the two World Cup markets before kick-off tomorrow night, 28 October, and you’ll be eligible to become one of three Pokerbet Millionaires.
 
Yoh that was tough to watch. Another 1 pointer. Amazing how our rugby team just finds a way. 4 times, incredible. Well done to the boks.
 
Have to feel for Sam Cane - harsh penalty (not that it wasn't the correct call) which definitely cost them the game.
 
Whoa, world champs again.

And this must have been the toughest route to a RWC for any team, we have beaten all the top teams in the world to win this.

PSDT was immense and showed true class when it came to the big event.

Well done to Siya and the team, I can now watch rugby peacefully for the next 4 years.
 
Did my patriotic duty:

Watching the game was an interesting experience, we were deep in enemy territory, not a single person in the venue was supporting SA. A surprise since we picked what we assumed would be a neutral venue.

Anyway, nice to see us win again.

Yeah it was only a yellow at worst. I thought the first yellow incident was much more deserving though and should’ve been upgraded so guess it balanced out in a way.

We didn’t have a proper hooker for the majority of the game which affected us and also we were down to 14 men for the majority of the second half as well so credit should also go to us for the defensive effort after so many close games en route to the final.

We had some good chances to extend our lead but couldn’t get the right kick for the drop goal to come off which would’ve killed the game. Typical final rugby and glad we came out on the right side of it.
