This game is kicking us to boredom. Whoever wins it's not going to be anything but pain for them next week.

Forward passes in this game too. It's such a shame that THE basic rule of the game seems optional now.

Want SA to win, as think Wales have a better chance of beating England.

Yes, it’s weird that forward passes aren’t being called immediately by the officials.

It’s the most basic law of rugby

Morning Axl. Are they going to play every match in Yokohama, the Tamworth of Tokyo?  ;)

Morning mate. Haha. The Tamworth of Tokyo!

I guess the main matches are being played there because they didn't finish the Olympic Stadium in time. Or something like that.

Mon South Africa. I don't want to live in a world in which Wales have won the World Cup. They will be unbearable.

That is a good point that I hadn't considered! I was at uni in Aberystwyth and remember the 6 nations days. You're right; unbearable.

Fucking awful game, it's a throwback to rugby from before professionalism.

SA are good at what they do. But what they do is very limited.

Wales need to try less crash ball. I think they have a chance with faster rugby.

2 defend and counter teams was neved going to be exciting but de klerk has kicked poorly which has stopped them pulling ahead.

Boring game indeed. Yet i hope Wales get through. That would be the first final between countries from the northern emisphere.

This is like a different sport to yesterday. Surely England will just swot either of these turgid twats aside?
