TRY FUCKING TIME FINALLY
How much wetter is it today vs yesterday, because this is some of the most ambitionless rugby i’ve ever had the misfortune of watching.
Double checking to make sure this is a RWC semi final match… yep 😞
England didn’t play this negatively 4 years ago; and South Africa didn’t play this negatively last week. Hence i’m wondering how much wetter it is.
First time I see the English playing. Are they always playing this football-wrestling luke warm vomit?
Awwww were there not enough adverts for the poor wittle amewican? Or maybe you’d like them to have crash helmets and padding like a special needs kid at a park lol
Watching rugby for the first time this year, I genuinly like how it is shot with pristine picture and a real feel of both speed and intensity. This game was aweful for 60 minutes though
Was just gonna make one of these if there wasn’t one. But… GO BOKKE
Head: Boks by 20.
Heart: Boks by 1.
Arse: 399 - 170
Edit: LOL even a stopped clock…
lmao! What a great cricket match today!
It’s a super-saffaday.
Oh that heart 😞😞 great game
Were SA on the piss last night? Some shocking decisions. Blind side on that line out the pits
England. You’re on a game a plan, and you’re up for it. A master class at being an even bigger shit houser than SA with how slow this game is
Dumbass hypothesis: they’re all in the same boat as Heinrich Klaasen - never fully recovered from covid and their recovery time from last weekend’s exertions is longer than expected.
Well Klaasen had arguably his best knock ever earlier today
I think the medical staff wouldn’t let him come back out to field. And who could argue after that effort?
Ah shit. Just realised I forgot today! Been travelling, weather shit, father about…
Thank you @Fridge@lemmy.one
England playing some great attritional stuff
I know Pollard kicked the winning points, but I feel like the biggest impact players were Ox and Kwagga again
French crowd is cheering for England way more than I thought they would, even w RSA as reason for their exit.
Is it a french crowd anymore or have lots of England fans managed to get out there?
I have some (English) friends there and they’ve been pleasantly surprised by the support from the normally anyone-but-England crowd:
french fans are whistling every time Sa are on screen
true story a welshman came up to me in a bar, a wales tattoo on his forearm and said - I cannot believe I am saying this but i hope England win good luck boys.
LMAO was Farrell yelling at poor little billy
Kudos to England bucking the expectations! You know the Boks are going to be fired up in the second half. Expecting England to try and play it safe.
England is playing football at best, wrestling most of the time. No hand pass, no try, nothing. A boring game
Hand pass in wet nono. Kick good make mistake opposite. Kick point. Still lose by 1 though…Bokke!
OMGOMGOMG HERE WE GOOOO
It’s a shitty game. Springboks were real devels against France and now they run like my Granny. English team had regional level games all the way to the semifinals and now they are fresh like a morning catch.
This is some of the worst Rugby i’ve ever seen.
I am so pissed. Last Springboks game was a masterpiece. This is horseshit
What a final few minutes at least! Go Bokkes, I reckon NZ will tear you apart and the France, Ireland and Scotland games took too much out of yous though. Time will tell!
Yeah France definitely tore us apart. The unchanged squad definitely had an effect today
Wow what is happening with the hookers. Wet ball can’t have that much of an effect
Makes you wonder if these special world cup balls have worse wet weather performance than normal eh.
