Hmmmm Libbok's kicking is reminiscent of the Nov international between SA and Ireland. Very poor goal kicking.

Boks putting their foot down.
No-look kick. Beautiful
Gorgeous try. What a crossfield kick.
Now this is scary
Flipped the switch for 10 minutes. Top class.
Not really. The IRB has been changing rules and interpretations nearly every years in my lifetime, it's nothing like Football. The issue here isn't the rules but the lack of consistency from certain refs when it comes to things that are obvious and very often things that have not changed in decades.
This is why I’m surprised they haven’t gone with Willie at 15. Libbok is dynamite but his place kicking is suspect. Maybe they feel Faf is a good enough backup place kicker
We need to stay switched on here. A Scottish try is going to open it back up
Scotlands lineout self-destructs again
Too many pens now. It’s become a set piece and pens game and Scotland can’t play this game
Talking about laws and refereeing, anyone else is amused by the fact that nearly every scrum should lead to a penalty against the team feeding it? It's very rare that the scrum half doesn't launch the ball to the second rows.
Great defense and physicality from South Africa. Not giving Scotland an inch
Scotland look done. SA utterly dominant in rucks.
Scotland's lineout has been abysmal
Only Ireland is at their level in that department.
It'll be a huge battle. Ireland may consider trying to protect Beirne for it.
The Ireland and South Africa game will be incredible. Think Scotland have just lacked the physicality to compete here, but they haven't embarrassed themselves at all. Think Ireland and France have it though.
There's just an inevitability when Scotland try to go through phases and just end up losing metres each phase. A turnover just seems inevitable.
SA look ominous as feck.
Fabulous run and a fantastic last ditch tap tackle.
Worry for Ireland is that as well as facing SA, Scotland now have to beat them so will throw the absolute kitchen sink at that game
This has been about as comfortable as possible for SA.
God I love a good tap tackle.
Scottish lineup a right farce, jesus
That was always inevitable. A consequence of this stupid fecking draw. If Scotland had won we’d have to play SA in must win mode. The gulf in quality between the two sides of the draw even more obvious after the Argies shat the bed yesterday.
Great win in the end, Libbok needs to work on his kicking, we should have been well more ahead, but good start, on to the next!
Just looking at replay of no look kick. Such a pointless skill. Looks cool, I guess. Why though?
Because he’s a bellend.
Does seem to be a skill almost exclusive to bellends.
I feel the same way about people who type without looking at the keyboard. Ok, we get it! You know where the letters are. Big deal
Fcjk kff yoi wsjker!
Bellend test failed
True, can’t dispute that
What’s going to happen tonight then boys. Fiji start with Tuisova and Botia on the bench, to the massive relief of Wales
Surely they have to now rescind Tom Curry's red? More or less identical incident in the Japan vs Chile game and a very similar one in the Scotland vs SA game, resulting in a yellow card and no card respectively.
No chance. You don’t fix bad decisions by reversing a good one.
Those choirs are ruining my national anthem enjoyment
They’re awful
They just killed the Welsh anthemHopefully Wales gets a good stable opening performance. Probably the lowest expectations I’ve had going into a World Cup - just want to see us play well.
