The 2023 Rugby World Cup official thread

That first half an hour of Manie was a **** show unfortunately. Pollard can play the whole match as Manie's confidence will be shot after being yanked off the field after 30 minutes.

Manie looked like he hurt his hand if I recall. I think that is why he came off.
His kick for goal was good. Just we need to find out who decided he kick to touch. Need to PK that guy.

He looked rather sheepish after the camera panned to him after being subbed.
Hy mis seker maar sy pa'le.

Well. This game wasn’t stressful at all. Now I need to find heart pills

Again directly related to the conditions. Their number 2 nearly threw in line out in to our scumhalf! Both sides were struggling with this aspect.

Didn't look like it, but the wind must've been stronger than expected.

He hurt his hand, because he couldn't catch properly lol.

Not beyond him to play the whole game.

Pollard looks good enough for 80 now?

Nothing wrong with Libbok getting some experience on the field.

Eben also looked out of sorts today.
Itoje is a world class spoiler though. A freak of an athlete with his long arms.

He also likes to play dirty, that itoje knee on de allende's neck is prime example why I dislike him as a player....

Anyway, if we manage to win this cup it will be thoroughly deserved.

He can get it outside a world cup knockout match

Against NZ in a RWC final.

I actually don't mind us going for the corner early on in a game. If we can get a bit of momentum from the lineout we either score or we force red zone penalties early on which keeps the opposition on the back foot for the rest of the game.

Hope we go 6-2 for the final.

We can if we get the starters right.
VdMeulen has had his time.
Wiese needs to start and we need van Staden back.

If he was a better kicker he would've been asked to go for post.
Pollard is just miles ahead of him at this stage and Willemse would be a better bet as a replacement flyhalf.
