Manie Libbok’s performance last night will go undercover because it wasn’t what many fans are used to from him. Because what he did so well was KICK. Not his goal kicking (but he did that well too), but his cross field kicks - they were unbelievably good. Accurate & efficient.

ERROR 1: All blacks knock on the ball, and it is missed by the referee and two assistants. ERROR 2: The right call is made, but the TMO goes outside the “2 phases” the the law allows for. Two mistakes made, but the 2nd actually fixes the 1st. So the net outcome is correct ✅

Rugby referees have one of the hardest jobs in sport given the pace of the game and the complexity of the laws, they’re always going to make mistakes. But when TMOs, who have time & replays, make errors like this, it’s unforgivable. That ‘error’ should never ever be happening.

I’m fine with Ardie Savea winning player of the year. But PSDT has been the best player this RWC.

Pieter-Steph du Toit with 28 tackles in the #RWC2023 final. At least half of those must have felt like being hit by a decent sized Killer Whale.

Seems like there are already people questioning Hendrikse's selection at 10. Here is one factor that may have influenced things: Tackle Success this season: Hendrikse - 118/135 = 87% Libbok - 65/101 = 65% Masuku - 65/106 = 61%

I have just noticed that the Springbok U-20’s forwards pack (vs Australia) in 2015 was: 1. Ox Nche 2. Joseph Dweba 3. Thomas du Toit 4. Jason Jenkins 5. RG Snyman 6. Jacques Vermeulen 7. Jean-Luc du Preez 8. Hanro Liebenberg Monsters. All of them.

A real shame that Shannon Frizell’s challenge on Mbonambi has ruled him out from both a RWC Final (2nd time for Bongi) and now an entire season. Rest up Bongi 🇿🇦

I have a feeling World Rugby are behind why we saw so few highlights of controversial plays tonight. Those “French TV director” comments may have led to some sort of action from their part because the highlights were very… neutral?

Summary, “supposedly” WR say: - PSDT should have got a yellow 🟨 - Penaud should have got a yellow 🟨 - Kwagga turnover penalty shouldn’t have counted but SA should have had a pen much closer to the polls. - Ramos conversation should have been retaken. Essentially, they even

The All Blacks are 3 from 9 against SA, IRE and FRA since getting obliterated in the 2019 World Cup. And have avoided England since that defeat. 33%. Let that sink in. A team made up of NZ, Samoa, Fiji and Tonga is at 33%? Apologies from Ben Smith fans will be accepted below 👇
