Let me remind you all.

IRE 32 - 22 NZ

Things change quickly.

Barnes was good for 70 minutes but lost the plot the last 10 mins. Crowd got to him imho.

Also rather fishy French broadcast losing ref comms when a crucial try needs to checked.

Boks still need to execute much better.

Rigged is the only logical explanation.

I think someone from the Boks pissed him off because he started ignoring everything. France from the side. Double movement etc.

Think it might have been Willie, he was having a good game until the last 20 minutes but he made a few errors.. You could also constantly see him talking to the ref.

For those of us(me incl) who thought Danty might have been milking that head collision a little bit extra...

Speedy recovery lad!

How did they manage to do a scan that fast?

I don't want to downplay it because that was a horrible collision but afterwards he was smiling and reading txt on his phone. I would have expected to see some blood or swelling witch what French media is calling it a "broken face"

Hospitals open 24/7? Won't take longer than 5minutes to get an actual scan?

I recall seeing him on his phone as well. But depending on where and how bad the fracture is I can totally believe there to be no swelling or blood.

Sister was struck just below the eye socket in school during a hockey match and there was only slight skin bruising but she also sustained a cracked skull because of it. Also didn't affect her really. Doctor's advice was just to completely avoid any contact with the area until it healed up.

But yeah. French media probably milking a hairline crack with wording like broken face.

Although it still indicates the immense force of the impact from the collision.
 
Scotland vs New Zealand build ip at 15:15.

GPR | Saracens vs Northampton Saints on Supersport channel 246 if anyone follows that.
 
We came super close last night. We actually played really well. And played traditional Springbok rugby (no box kicks every five seconds) too. I see that there are many who are going "We lost again, Nienaber must go :mad::mad:"

We only lost by 4, and by 3 to Ireland. That's honestly not as shite as you might think it is (these two are some of the best teams in rugby rn). We almost beat the French last night with a man down...
Barnes lost his mind in the last 10 mins (I also liked how when he wanted to check with the TMO over the last French try, but the connection to the TMO was conveniently lost...).

We did well. Onto the next game...
