RWC SF: England v Springboks

@Bones said in RWC SF: England v Springboks:
@Rancid-Schnitzel why can't he take the bottles on the pitch? Is it just the lights are quicker?
He’s done the water carrier bit, he’s done the support staff in the backfield directing play, his done the videos, he’s done the HIA rest periods. Some of it is tactical and some of it mind games imo.
Either way, he’s bad for rugby.
@Catogrande didn’t world rugby change the laws to stop coaches from being the water carriers?
Now he uses his micced up medical team and physios to loiter around play shouting out tactical instructions that the coaches observe from on high. NFL meets rugby. No wonder the Boks want to slow the game down. They want their 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th downs
You have to hand it to Rassie and Nienaber, they totally think outside the box. They push the boundaries constantly. Constantly seeking the edge to give their team maximum advantage. The fact that people are questioning the way the HIA process and whether the Boks abuse it is testament to them both. Neither of them care about their legacy. That is what other people write. They care about winning, as that is what is ultimately remembered. For good or for bad.

The dream for us would be this one going into sudden death extra time and drop goals at the end.
Lotsa red cards
@Machpants BOK and the bunker to give reds to Malherbe and Etzebeth. You can crank up the conspiracy theory klaxon if that happens
-
Picking this one to go close. Think the Boks may be a bit complacent against an unrated England team who show signs of coming good,
-
Probably only a matter of time before he uses carrier pigeons.

Geez even we were doing that a decade ago in like level 6 club rugby. Even put up scaffolding for the camera to record games which the coach would stand on.

@Rancid-Schnitzel I’m ahead of my time obviously

He has been using lights for probably 10 years now. When you have a specific instruction as coach for example that he definitely wants you to kick for posts, and it’s one colour. If he definitely want you to scrum another. Quick and easy.
-
If the Boks don’t win this and win comfortably, I will be very surprised. If they are able to create any sort of space, they actually have the width game to make England pay on the scoreboard.
If England can control the pace, they might keep it close.
England have always been my second side, so I’ll be cheering for them, but I am feeling not so optimistic about their ability to stop the wave.

Works a treat at under 12s.

@Bones use that a bit at free State then down at the stormers and then nothing for awhile again. Not sure where the plan started or even how well it works. He seems to be using it sporadically Pretty sure it’s not every single decision that requires a light. But I guess his ass is on the line as coach as well so if he really feels they need to do something then you get... The light...

It looks like it is gonna be a sea of Springbok Green in Paris this evening.
