Yep, I see it in various forums. I got banned in one for calling it out regarding Northern Hemisphere who never do the rough stuff.

That moment of stupidity is costing this Eng team heavily

I thought Liam Giliomee's red card was a ridiculous decision. His eyes were on the ball the entire time and the only reason he didn't catch it because the English player jumped so high above him. Hope SA appeal the red card van decision.

I agree, I looked at it and thought he was competing for the ball, no way that is even a penalty.

The way it's been reffed the last few years that's unfortunately at least a yellow, often red. It's similar to the card our fly-half received in the first game.

EDIT: correction, Ahmed's red was in the SA A game

That was one helluva Semi-final game between the BabaBoks and England! Well reffed IMHO and the boys played aggressively and took all of the chances to score and put pressure. England definitely put up a proper fight but it seems as though our Boks are practiced in the devious Kiwi-art of playing harder during the last 20mins of every game.

Well done to the Junior Bokke!!! Should be a good final against the French.

If you're good enough you're old enough.

You'll see Noah Calouri (19) and Henry Pollock (21) at the 2027 RWC. Guaranteed.

Pollard is a shoe-in for 2027 unless injured but pushing 33 injuries, are sadly, not far away. Sacha also very injury prone. All things being equal it would be Manie, Sacha and Handre at the 2027 RWC. One of those injured, what you going to do? You could use Damien Willemse at 10 but then you're exposed at 15 and we don't have depth at 15...

Rassie is investing heavily in Moyo, most likely not for 2027 but definitely 2031...

Not selecting them (Jaco, Moyo) would be wasting a golden opportunity to blood young talent. Wales is as about as soft touch as you going to get in an international fixture.

Anyway, after Saturday maybe you'll have changed your mind...

I've watched Moyo. He is a good young player with potential but I don't think he is a generational player like Sacha. I also think Yaqeen Ahmed at the u20 imo has a higher ceiling than him. Rassie knows a lot more than me so I'll trust his judgement.
