Extra time then sudden death then penalties
Maybe bring the penalties right now...

by tigertattie Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:22 am

No card for the intentional knock down?

by No 7&1/2 Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:22 am

Sudden death may be sweet release.

Handy at this time of year. Saves a few pence on the heating bill

It's a semi final on a knife edge. What more do they want?

Great stuff.

by Guest Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:24 am

Awful tackling from Wales. Absolutely awful.

by mikey_dragon Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:24 am

Biggar’s defence shocking all game. That’s probably the game now.

by **RDW** Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:25 am

WE HAVE A TRY - THIS IS NOT A DRILL

by tigertattie Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:25 am

My word. Look what happens when someone runs it

by Heaf Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:25 am

tigertattie wrote:Ken ownes steps off his line every time.

It’s so clearly obvious but the assistant ref does nothing.

Another thing they are ignoring ... officiating is poor both ways. Might just as well throw the ball straight to the 9.

by majesticimperialman Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:25 am

AT LAST. some one as scored a try.

by **BigGee** Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:25 am

Wales suddenly looking a little bit tired

by Geordie Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:26 am

England will tackle better thsn that.

by whocares Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:26 am

That was poor defending in that 10 channel but a try is a try ... Biggar could have been replace at HT.

We’ve looked tried since the Georgia game!

by tigertattie Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:27 am

I think even some welsh fans cheered that try

For the sake of rugby a try was needed

by **BigGee** Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:27 am

16-9 SA

Surely wales have to score a try now to get back in this, SA will continue to squeeze them

by mikey_dragon Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:28 am

Shocking ref.

by Heaf Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:28 am

Very poor defence ...

by Guest Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:28 am

Adam Beard is on...... see the Boks quake in their boots!

by tigertattie Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:28 am

Cross field kick anyone?

by Scottrf Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:29 am

beard off, Beard on.

Du toit looks dazed

by Heaf Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:31 am

Wales will probably still nick it - they are the come back kings after all ...

by **BigGee** Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:32 am

I think SA will be happy enough to give away a penalty there

by Guest Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:32 am

Noooooooo! Take the points you fools

by tigertattie Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:32 am

Scrum???

That’s silly

by **BigGee** Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:32 am

Wales go for the scrum, early to roll the dice

by Scottrf Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:33 am

BigGee wrote:I think SA will be happy enough to give away a penalty there

Well yeah. Again, no need to kick away the pen advantage. Put it through hands out wide.

by Guest Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:33 am

Forward pass???

by Soul Requiem Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:33 am

At every breakdown South Africa are playing the ball on the floor and finally there's a penalty for it.

by **BigGee** Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:33 am

Well maybe it was the right call!

by tigertattie Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:34 am

Try but still silly.

The scrum got mashed

Nope. Hands backwards.

I’ll be honest I thought that looked forward, or is it just me?

by lostinwales Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:34 am

Its like they didnt want to trust the backs without the penalty safety net.

The forwards were getting nowhere, just waiting for that penalty

Who cares, try it is

Never say die Wales, they always beleive

by Soul Requiem Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:35 am

Flat very flat.

20 odd phases was just waiting for a handling error or a turnover though. Worked out in the end.

by nathan Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:36 am

Game on

by tigertattie Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:36 am

One of the SA forwards needs to clatter Tomos. Very ruck he tries to taunt them to come early

by whocares Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:36 am

Brave call from Wales and deserved try

by lostinwales Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:36 am

The penalty shoot out is still on..

by Soul Requiem Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:36 am

Pretty handy when your back up full back is the best kicker in world rugby.

by **RDW** Sun 27 Oct 2019, 10:36 am

Huge decision to go for the scrum - completely vindicated!
