Twice lucky now, but these things do have a habit of evening out!

It is evening out if the neverending onslaught of Saffa complaints on various forums since the Bismarck du Plessis sending off are anything to go by.

Mistakes like that may well stop him being picked for the bigger games, especially with Williams showing up so well on the wing this game.

The versatility of the SH back line is something to behold!

The draw's been really harsh on Romania. If Spain hadn't got points deducted during qualification, then Spain would be playing now and Romania would be where Portugal are (in terms of grouping, not geography).

Re: Rugby World Cup - other team/games and general chat
I think scoring 100 points on someone is a sign of disrespect and simply shouldn't happen. Just sit back and play D for a while. Clearly if a team is behind by 70 points they really shouldn't be out there. But still show some respect to the men and women who know they will be getting blown up for 80 minutes.

I think deliberately sitting back and playing defence is patronising and an even bigger sign of disrespect.

Aus are frequently offside, but if Brace doesn't call it then they'll keep doing it. Up to Fiji to adjust.

No clear release. It's a Fiji penalty all day long. Horrendous officiating for that decision.
White is lucky that's only a penalty as well, no attempt to get low into that tackle.

Not often you can say that if you combine Fiji's place-kicking with SA's running game you'd have quite a team.

Show me where “not a lot in that” is part of the head contact protocol? There was head contact. There was foul play. It was a low degree of danger.
Either World Rugby need to ensure that the refs apply their protocol, or they need to change it. The current state is unsustainable.

Normally you let the person coming from deep take it as they have more momentum and a better view.

It looked like over the shoulder on a player that was dropping.
There have been some contentious pens and cards in this WC but that was not one of them.
