He’s got that islander density. Like they put Lomu on a hot washTele’a is unbelievably hard to stop, isn’t he?

Well I will believe it when I see it. I just believe that at this level with the speed of the game it’s very difficult to avoid this type of collision.It probably won't. It's just unfortunate that you are currently watching the World Cup that's truly taking it in it's full effect so a lot of players just aren't tuned for it, since they've played the way they have since childhood.
By 2031/35 they'll all have been brought up with the new rules and ways of tackling etc.
Sports continually change and you don't see the clear change until you watch games decades apart. Unless you genuinely feel this the final straw, then it's will happen, there's nothing to wait to see.... you had 2 fantastic quarter finals with players who are trying to re-wire their muscle memory with new rules and no reds in either, so yeah, it can and will end up working.Well I will believe it when I see it.

I think you can though. All Kane had to do was get lower before making the tackle. Muscle memory means we’ll see a few more of these but most teams/players have adapted pretty well.Well I will believe it when I see it.

I don't think they've dominated, South Africa were on top for most of that half, but credit to New Zealand for keeping the score this close which means they're in it still given the individual talent they've got to break the game open in a moment.Shite weather and red card spoiling this as a spectacle, which is a pity. Still gripping to watch but so many mistakes. Fair play to NZ for taking it to SA with a man less and dominating most of that half but they’re gonna run out of gas soon enough.
We are limping. Losing our only hooker in the squad makes it a lot more even than it should beShite weather and red card spoiling this as a spectacle, which is a pity.

They’ve dominated the territory and entered the SA 22 much more often than SA have entered theirs. At least that’s how it’s looked to me. I’m sure there are stats which can tell us for sure.I don't think they've dominated, South Africa were on top for most of that half, but credit to New Zealand for keeping the score this close which means they're in it still given the individual talent they've got to break the game open in a moment.
Yeah more or less. We've softened to accept how football is... I mean the Beckham documentary truly highlighted this to me, Simeone barely makes a meal out of the kick compared to what Neymar would do now, yet the reaction to it was identical. We'd accept that as a clear red if it happened today, with absolutely no vilification of Simeone, or at least no way near as much as he got.I think you can though.

they’d sterilise curry’s whole family for that.He headed the ball first it looked like, will that save him?
Hahaha I was thinking the same@Pogue Mahone you got your dive pass, and it nearly resulted in a try
He dipped though. I think this will be yellow.Headbutt! It's a yellow, but that could be upgraded to a red card against Kolisi if we go by the same standards as they did with Cane.
I don't think the bent knees is enough mitigation, he's got enough time to adjust a bit more and he doesn't (imho)Feck sake Kolisi, but hopefully there mitigation there to keep it a yellow.
