    Tonga really need to pick better younger players that show some promise, and coaches who can get the best out of them.

    Libbok looks are a really good 10. But can he goal kick?

    @DaGrubster One has to ensure a certain level of deference to their betters by the ‘south sea islanders’

    The SA coaches I imagine. It was a rhetorical Q but thanks for taking the time to answer anyways.

    Shoulder to head, saw him coming, never got in a position to make a legal tackle so no mitigation. Genuinely baffled by that one

    I’m guessing you’ve never played rugby?

    You looking for people like you to join a club?

    Am guessing the alleged racial slur wasn't?

    Respect to Tonga!
    The Boks have one of the best defensive systems in the game and really pride themselves on it and Tonga ran in THREE tries.
    And while the scoreline doesn't reflect it, I though they gave the Boks a good examination.
    Good luck to them for their final game!

    Sadly, Mapimpi is confirmed to be out of the RWC with a fractured eye socket.
    Feel really sad for him - he gives 100% all the time.

    Will be interesting to see who they bring in to replace him.
    The standby list currently reads:
    Lukhanyo Am (Centre)
    Lood de Jager (Lock)
    Joseph Dweba (Hooker)
    Thomas du Toit (Prop)
    Jean-Luc du Preez (Loosie)
    Herschel Jantjies (Scrumhalf)
    Evan Roos (Loosie)
    Gerhard Steenekamp (Prop)

    Be interesting what happens here, on field was penalty only wasn't it? Yet clearly it needed another look. Now he has effectively got the same injury as Dupont, which was 12 down to 6.

    Roll the dice time?

    Irish and Scottish fans wrecking SA fans heads who thought SA had already qualified for the quarters after their win.

    They're pushing the scenario where Scotland take the lead next weekend and with both teams having scored four tries, it's say 36-22 to Scotland with 5 minutes to go. Ireland need to score a try to get the losing bonus point and qualify top of the pool.

    OR concede another one to lose by a margin of 21. All 3 teams on 15 points and H2H doesn't separate them. PD would put Scotland top of the pool ahead of SA and Ireland, with second place going to Ireland by virtue of their head to head with SA.

    So, to answer my own question: Lukhanyo Am is being called up.

    Happy about that although how is he supposed to get game time before a possible QF...?

    @taniwharugby

    It looks fairly obvious on the footage on my phone.

    Of course I am not a pro lip reader but others picked up on it!

    With their bench, I would've called up a hooker

    @Machpants Fourie as been much better then our backup hooker (Dweba) will be with a motm performance. Fourie has been the Stormers best player now for 2 seasons.

    I'll back @DaGrubster that it could easily be as reported above. I'm not a lip reader. But without sound it could be anything.
