      ​@xguilbert, just as the blind ben o'keef, very decisively made the wrong decision at the end, denying any tmo review, to give france a scrum possession when the france player was clearly offside and blocked the pass from faf out the ruck. ben o'keef was a completely trash ref in all regards. you cannot blame their loss on that one bad decision when there have been many other outrageous and downright terrible decisions against both teams throughout the entirety of the game.

    Congrats to Bokks!!!
    As french, it's now usual to take massive sports blows historically (3 WC finals loss on rugby, last one against Argentina on football), but at least, it's always in some kind of dramatic unreal fashion. Something to be recording in the books.
    Until 55th, i was confident, i think we were the best team, by little inche.
    After usual Saffas second wave, we were doomed and finally beaten fairly.
    At end of 80th, Bokks were better.
    And at the end, NH fails again.
    We failed again as French, with maybe one of our brightest side of all-time.
    I feeled for Irish yesterday, exact same context, same result.
    South always prevails.
    Blacks are still here. World Champs are still here.
    We're out. Ireland is out.
    But even if history shows again NH was tamed by SH, it will be remembered for Ages.
    Congrats Bokkes. Pass this french hurdle on her own soil was massive feat to do. You did it.
    For me, pressure was to insane coming into this WC.
    I still believe one day French will become world Champions, absolute dream to wait at least 4 years more, but Irish want to claim either, Australia will coming possessed by new spirit coming to their own WC, and as always, South Africa and New Zealand, both GOATS of rugby will be still here to wait us at turn..
    We trash talk England, after last 6N, they're still here. We're not.
    We wanted hypothetic revenge against Argentina (football^^), they're still here. We're not.
    We're wanted cross path of ultimate All Black form as 2011 mirror circle. They're still here. We're not.
    Harsh reality.
    Good night for all rugby fans all around the world.
    Congrats again Bokks.
    Allez les Bleus!!!

It's so rare to see a game when literally every player was on point both mentally & physically. Marginal decision making was the only difference such as SA going for a tap & go set move leading to the Etzebeth try & then France opting for 3 points in a similar situation soon after. The intensity & discipline under pressure were a sight to behold. Great stuff, and what a RWC it has been thus far.

Woki and Ramos definitely were way, way below the standard they'd set over the last year. But kudos to the Boks' scramble defence.

      I don't think they have control over that. I think it may rather have messed with how and when they planned to bring on their substitutions. They had to adapt and it worked out.
      You can see Mostert was perplexed but Etsebeth's yellow changed that aspect. Initially it seemed as if Kwagga and Vermeulen were confused as to who was at the back of the scrum.

    Devastated really. I'm trying to scroll scenarios in my head of where it went wrong. Several places really. I think we - the French - offered too many counter attack opportunities and lost our nerves when it mattered. French social media is lambasting the ref but we just made too many mistakes against a fantastic side. I don't remember SA playing so well. So yeah, it hurts because this was our best ever side by some distance and the French federation had gone to extreme financial length to make things happen. In the end, it's a case of never the bride, once more. We get respect and admiration all over the world for our French flair but without the killer instinct, it's not good enough. This going to take some deep soul searching for me and possibly many French fans.

      Australia v Fiji I enjoyed watching more than the opening game I think. That game wasn’t the same as the other top 4 clashes but I’m bias as I love Fiji.

    Interesting , the Boks must have picked a weakness under the high ball for the backs. A great game to watch, and what a comeback by the Boks. Another final class game.

    Pollard stepping up huge. Duane coming back from the hia was huge as well, bongi was getting a bit wild when chatting to ben, the team looked flustered, having pollard and Duane on brought some calm and we managed to execute from there. OX may the best scrummager in the world by the way, he changed the momentum

    Two Cents: Love your analytical style and insightful commentary.
    I agree, it must have been one of the most exciting and tentative rugby games I've ever watched. Congrats to both sides for literally 'putting their lives on the line' and daring to take decisions which looked either risky or ill-conceived - both of which, made for compulsive and thrilling entertainment! Go Bokke...
