Rugby World Cup Second Semi Wales V South Africa....

[ToraToraTora]

who's watching, can Wales do it? I think they can but it won't be easy. I'd love England v Wales in the final.

[Sqad]

I am watching it.
Springboks are the more impressive side.....but this is a one off match.........however, I do fancy Wales to win.

[alavahalf]

Wales .. they will win if it comes down to national anthems .. I am sure it will be close.
Batten down the hatches !

[ToraToraTora]

bit dull so far guys!

[ToraToraTora]

looks like both sides are trying to not lose rather than trying to win. Not a patch on yesterday.

[Ken4155]

Still anyone's game. Both sides look a tad pensive.

[Sqad]

Scrappy and far too much inaccurate kicking.
Ugly at the moment.

[webbo3]

quite a boring game, lots of kicking.

[alavahalf]

Think we have possibly seen the best game we are likely to see .. yesterday. Only a penalty score between them, so plenty time yet.

[Sqad]

Boks win and deservedly so.
Poor game, but in the semi's it is all about winning.
England should go into the final as favourites.

[Deskdiary]

Not a great game, but the best team won.

Penalties for coming in from the side in a maul absolutely drives me nuts - professionals should know better, so Wales have nobody to blame but themselves.

Brutal!

[sunny-dave]

What a terribly poor apology for a game - it’s a shame both sides couldn’t lose.

Yesterday was a feast of Rugby skills, today was a dire farrago - total poverty of ambition shown by both sides - an endless parade of (poor) kicks and naff all handling unless the (highly dubious) ref had already awarded a penalty advantage.

[brainiac]

That was as dull as yesterday was scintillating.
I hope that ref isn't doing the final. Maybe since it's England v South Africa, Nigel Evans will be asked - one of the very best.

[Old_Geezer]

Unfortunate but not unexpected.
Here's to an England win in the final, then.

[TonyV]

I only caught second half but Wales did have their chances.

[Sqad]

Tony....chances? chances to do what ? certainly not to score a try.
That is if we were watching the same game.

[Ken4155]

No doubt SA will use the same frustrating tactics v England in the final and that's something our lads will have to overcome. We will most likely start as favs but our record v SA isn't particularly good, standing at 25 to the Boks and 15 to us. Broken down as follows (SA score first); Matches played in England; 11-10, matches played in SA; 11-4, matches played at a neutral venue; 3-1 (including the WC Final in France in 2007). There have been just 2 drawn matches. Stats aside, if we can play as we did yesterday, despite negative tactics from the opposition, we can lift the trophy:-)

[TonyV]

sqad with score equal with a few minutes left. Think final score says it all.

[Sqad]

Tony...our point was about chances and i was responding to you post mentioning chances that Wales had.

Whatever the score and however close, I look back at the match and cannot recall ANY chances that Wales had......even HALF chances......even a disallowed try........NOTHING.

[Spicerack]

Boo-hoo.
