Scots have played a dirty disruptive game. We should be able to handle it better though.

Taking the breakdown for granted will land you in trouble.
Also we need to learn to play the ref better.

But all and all some good character shown by the boks and a good experience builder for the mass of younger guys.
 
We were shocking. No cohesion and our basics were not up to standard.

Wales deserved it on the day.

I reckon that's a very well coached Wales side. They out smarted us for most of today, got in between our backs and never allowed them to settle into any sort of rhythm.

Their 15, Williams, was superb and probably the difference on the night. Kolbe who is equally devastating on attack just wasn't afforded the time or the space while we kept kicking the ball down Williams throat. They counterattacked well and their defense for the most part was resolute!!

Anyway, it's a good Welsh side. They beat Argentina 25-20 in their pool game, the same Argentinian side that beat SA 2-1 in a warm up series played in Argentina prior to the JWC, the same Argentinian side that just beat Australia 22-15 in the play offs at JWC, the same Australian side that lost to Ireland 19-15 in the pool rounds.

There's very little between the top sides this year, possibly the most tightly contested championship in a long time. England is a very good side too and they could upset NZ tonight in the other semis.
 
Wales would be spent by now though and a lot of injuries tonight and against Argentina earlier in the week. I reckon they going to battle to get up for a final.
 
Feeling just a bit better now after baby All Blacks also lost in their semi final against England.

England vs Wales in the final.

We beat England so I'm quite happy with the result tbh. Now we face NZ in the 3rd place playoffs? Eish... Don't see us beating them...

What pool are you playing in?

Energade and a local bloem pool which I got invited to.

The bloem pool code is: yetiyoga

Sure the captain will let anyone join, but this pool is proof once again my super rugby performance is the exception that proves the rule!
