From what we;ve seen I can;t sse Wales or Saffas beating the winner of next week;s SF between poms and kiwis.
Unless boks change their game plan up in a week and stop the incessant box kicking I cant see how they will be a competitor.
France deserved to beat Wales today but poor reffing from Peyper gifted the welsh the win.
Anyway - here we are... 2 weeks to go
Reds an elbow in the face deserves a red card surely.
Red they hve to play this way they dont have the talent to do it any other way. If they changed their game plan they would have been killed today.

Don't be a doos.
I was more worried playing the French in the semi and for SA W ales is a better chance to go through to the final.
In the whole of the series thus far there were only 3 tries scored against the Springboks, It was not the same in 2015. Despite all the foul-ups by De Klerk and Le Roux and the non--productive display coming from the bench other than Marx, they still won and I would say that they are likely to beat Wales and play against the All Blacks in the final.
That was the same saying in 1995 and see what happened.
Only one hard game so far and you conceded two tries in it. Get a grip Clevermike, you played Namibia, Canada, Italy and Japan... hardly the stuff of nightmares. On the face of it this team is about as good as the last world cup. Not much has really changed. Still a dinosaur power game.
no beeno red wasnt the issue it was the knock on strip thwt led to try close to FT. clerly went fwd and cheating peyper (kiwi stooge) called it backwards... any idoit could see it was forward.
Boks brawn is good i dont deny but think poms or kiwis will have enough firepower to absorb it and score off counter.
Pollard missed a few kicks tonight oo could be costly v the big boys...
on form poms or abs will win... but never know

There were elements in the English - Aussie game that bothered me and I do not think they will beat NZ in the semi. Japan played a completely different game from what other NH teams play and I think the constant butchering of tries against them was due to that difference, The Springboks are used to play Wales, the AB's and England and I actually hope England beat NZ in the semi - which is highly unlikely. England like in 2007 will not beat SA should they get through to the final.
.
for me I cant seperate poms v kiwis... they are two very good teams with depth in the right places.
Saffas... if... they beat wales will make a decent GF... but jsut cant see them beating poms or kiwis... on current form.
If wales win - I expect the GF to be a 30+ loss to them especially if wales v kiwis as gatland is a stooge and will kowtow to his new masters... i think rob schmidt sort of did the same.
best outcome for the neutral audience is saf v eng final
Bokkies are easy to beat ad thats why we have a winning trend. The big three of the 6 nations play faster rugby than you, ball in hand rugby. You lot cant keep up with it and we can match your pack or better it. So you have no advantage against us.
We will see won't we.........................
We will see won't we.........................
A winning trend? The last four matches were 2 won 2 lost. The two games won by England were -
* in a dead rubber series where Erasmus made some team changes experimenting with players that would at best on test level be dirt trackers; and
* a game where the ref buggered up badly and made a statement afterwards apologizing for what happened during the last few minutes of the game by not penalizing Farrell for an illegal tackle and thus preventing an easy penalty conversion.
OK - changed my mind...
IF saffas can beat the boring ass welsh who shouldnt be in the SFs... then Saffas godo chance at beating either poms or kiwis... hopefully the poms beat the kiwis as SAF v POM will be so much more enjoyable for everyone....
God I love this forum...it's a mud throwing contest with great views and opinions...The POMS will lose badly on Saturday because Eddie is an Ugly arrogant cunt who deserves to be stitched up so he can never fuck again. Most Kiwis feel this way believe me..
.... especially the ABs.
Can you feel the hate?
most aussies who care about hansen think he should take the oscar for toad of toad hall in the up coming wind in the willows remake... doesnt even need makeup.... possibly a bit too fat tho...
talking about makeup though... wtf is with raelenes black lipstick.?!?!?
LOL...I can't work out if Hansen is getting fatter or the barber is getting closer...either way him and Eddie would go home alone in a bar full of desperate gays...Trannies...Prostitutes and ugly drunk women.
haha i did notice he went the japanese style man bun short sides the other day funny as...
Yeah im back eddie in for the ladys he sort of has a japanese look to him... - hansen can have raelene....................ewwwww
Irony......let go of the anger TraD2D2...you seem to be quite levelheaded when you're speaking instead of ranting.
You could have fooled me...and a lot of other posters...I think. I understand why you took issue...as long as you're having fun it's all OK I suppose.
We Saffas fight more amongst ourselves than we do with other nationalities...I suspect Aussie vs Kiwi might be similar to our "provincialism" and infighting...and it's fun to watch.
