Live Thread - Springboks vs France World Cup 2023

The chip kicks are worrying. Willemse might need to stand a bit closer to the advantage line

Interesting penalty. Libbok.... Mr Deer in Headlights. 

DELELANDE!!!!

Boks looking confident ball in hand

Those chips are working well yes.

Skew Bok lineout. Take note Beanbag. 

Wow, both teams are taking risks and don' t mind open play.

Bok try. Skew Bok lineout not called. Again. 

DDA over. I'd just kick it high on France, second try we get from high ball shambles. And it wasn't even a good kick from Libbok, as in looked like he slic ed it.

Libbok better than Pollard? Really? 

Not an arm wre stle so far all attack an little defence.

No conversion.

Try France, it is a hard game

Kolisi? Hmmm

France sustained attack, penalty, quick tap, over in the corner.

Terrific by Kolbe!

What a charge down!!

Ramos conversion is charged down by Kolbe. That was quite something.

Ramos this time secures the high ball.

Wow Kolbe, a try fest. Both teams looking good

Bit of an elbow in Dupont's face from Kriel there on the fend.

Wow, Kolbe!!

This is bizarre. The Boks with 3 tries despite playing favella rugby. 

Kolbe through chasing the kick.

Boks feeding on French mistakes, nothing wrong with that.

Nothing wrong. Yet, we aren't doing anything. That's a problem. 

But yes, strange game. Very open, little structure, everyone is having a go. 19-12 Boks.

Not the game I was expecting, entertaining game so far.

France one good bounce away from being in again.

France have been the dominant team, but the Boks are counter attacking

Wow, very different game from yesterday!

France gonna put it behind the Boks all game it seems. Lineout 5.

The short box kick landing 10 metres outside our 22 caused the Baille try.

France over. Power bashes and the Boks couldn't keep them out.

Dupont disrupts Reinach.

Flabherbe flubs.
