Any views on the fussiness or otherwise of the nominated referees for the 2 semis? Really want to have a crack at the bookings market SA/NZ and would be very confident with Owens in charge but not seen enough of Garces to have much of an opinion. Help appreciated
Seems you have an unerring interest in referencing me Viz, So I will just repost that said in your other references to me.
More strawman statemenst Please quote where I said 'Springboks guaranteed a yellow' ... and if I implied that was I clearly wrong.. couldn't buy a Yellow for Reids infringements repeatedly , plus a high Tackle and a NFL pass..[is he the new invisible McCaw]
I did Lay because the price was wrong and I play Price vs probability of outcome.
Clearly I am wrong about the 'conspiracy' as a NFL pass from Read for a try is allowed by Linesman & Ref alike for another Forward pass try by NZ. [Conspiracy your word, teams seem to have very degree's of latitude, is my strongest assertion, good luck with creating a strawman arguement to knock it down]
TMO calls an intercept try back for a Bok advantage...
NZ must play in the final... The others arent good enough to beat them AUS may give them some of a game.
In the end Hapless Boks cant kick out of hand & play in 22 as Carter admittedly cleverly kicks the leather off into the corner at every chance, thats my summary.. Proud of what SA achieved and properly put the frighteners on them upfront in the 1st half, till death by a hundred corner kicks.. maybe your own nations ineptness feeds your ire & sarcasm.
I'll back Green & Gold vs AB's way more times than the white rose.. who were an utter rabble in this contest. Major book up substantially, a mere £100 loss today all very satisfactory thank you,result confirms 1.40/45 would have been more accurate, good trading all around, thanks, seems you thought so too?
Go wet yourself with the awesomness of New Zealand & Richie McCaw's legendary staus as will no doubt be gushed with all the superlatives next weekend. when they lift it.. Rugby is a business.. before a sport, NZ have another charmed win, that few will question again.

It wasn't a charmed NZ win at all. If the Boks had been pinged 13 times, I think NZ would have won by double figures.
I think SA just weren't good enough. Not a lot between the teams, certainly not a lot to make it a 1.26 shot. Seems like neither of us profited from the match. I kept my green on the other two results, but would take the lay every time.

NZ were pinged more because they were forced to infringe more in the front up contest in the Match which they lost first half hopelessly and avoided damage with a kick to corner strategy that kept them in the 22 of boks all 2nd half with lineout steals just about nullified a slowly exhausting defence only Pack.. if Boks gave 13 pens away they wouldnt have been dominant..there is no point to the statement. If we didnt play whole 2nd half in our 22 we might have won.. despite forwradpass try.. pointless statement.. They cheated at the break down because they were losing that battle.. they won others like the kicking game.
