What an amazing game. As a Frenchman I am twisted among many feelings: - First comes awe. The level of intensity and the level of skills we saw last night was just amazing - Pride. I am proud of our team. They showed what French rugby is and played it to the perfection (almost). - Respect. South-Africa were amazing. I was seriously scared each time they ran forward with the ball. So much power. - Frustration. A bitter taste stays in my mouth when I see the few South-African fouls which were not spotted in key moment such as the turnover that led to the last penalty (the contester put his hands on the floor prior to contest which is illegal), the weird interception by Etzebet at the beginning of the game (i'm just surprised there was no TMO check there) and the many times Boks charged elbows forwards. This being said, there might have been the same on the French side (let me know if there were) and we would have won if we had not missed the few kicks we missed. Well done South-Africa and thank you for the show.

[@bolsnot4520]

Not going to contest your observations. This French team is still young they will develop into a formidable unit. All the best.

[@michaelbaxter7452]

Since you asked for some points : - it felt like the TV crew were only showing south African replays to try and paint a bad picture for the ref , never showing French mistakes. - many times I saw France clean out a ruck from the side, especially in the last play of the game I saw a clear one from Danty. - skew lineout throw ins by France that weren't called was frustrating - often after a tackle the French player would get out of the way of the ball but cleverly put themselves in the way of key cleaners - when we played against the all Blacks and lost the last time Aaron Smith passed the ball deliberately into our players and it got penalties but when we did it today it didn't count so that was frustrating from the ref. - when Pieter Steph du Toit got send off for an HIA I wanted to see how he got hit but there was no replay so it just gives the SA fans this feeling that - the Eben yellow we felt could have been a LITTLE harsh because he was very low for a man his size and the head contact was so SMALL, there is so much more head contact that itsnt even called yet the TMO thought that one is important , just felt wrong

Both teams played their hearts out both deserve the win. The fans looked like they had a great time and both sides so humble in their comments of the game. Good to see.

[@MC-cg2rr]

By luck you mean, the referee?

[@mashi9]

@@MC-cg2rr no, cause both sides can have countless points in the game where decisions didn't go their way. So don't even wanna bring the ref into this cause that's just a hole we'll never come out of. By luck I'm talking about which team just gets the points when they get the opportunity. If France got their conversion after the try, that Kolbe charged down, could've been a different story. How often do you see a successful charge down, could be luck in that. The same way that if we also got the attempted drop kick by Kolbe, could've been more points. Unfortunately that's just the game and blaming the ref when we know we both got bad calls against each team would be unfair. It wasn't biased towards any one team.

Let's be honest. We were outplayed by a brilliant French team last night. To be outplayed like that and still win is nothing short of a miracle. In hindsight that Kolbe charge down was the moment that saw us through. But all credit to the Springboks who held on, who kept their belief when the French gave us little reason to believe we were going to progress to the next round. I was there in 95 in the pouring rain in Kings Park when the French came within a centimeter of knocking us out of the World Cup. We went on to lift the trophy. May last night's match be a similar omen for the Springboks because the French came within a millimeter this time of knocking us out. My heart is still pounding.

To be fair the referee called a few things against both teams that seemed controversial, but at the end of the day he's human. What a great game of Rugby...

[@agustinenzoa4447]

Go Boke from Argentina!!! So proud of my national team and to be amongst the top 4 in the World. Rugby Championship rulez!! Go Pumas!

[@colettebutler3700]

Amazing game from France they can be so proud! Love you Bokke thanks for pulling through for us - I'm going to have to name my first born after cheslin kolbe after the way he played last night!!😂

[@davidhallas4940]

France were amazing well done to them, rugby won

[@bradleyrhodes8906]

As a Saffa i really thought we were going to lose after the first 10 mins. Even i underestimated the fight our lads have. I feel so so so sad for France as they deserved more than going out in the quarters. But congrats to the Boks and condolences to France, could've really gone either way and this should have been a semi or a final

[@donaldduck2139]

was an awesome game....tit for tat...if the game went on longer I think the lead would have just kept changing. . . but only one can win congratts S.A

[@GeoffTrades]

You find true gentleman around the game - irrespective of who you support. The French supporters showed such even-handedness in their reviews, especially given the rough calls which ran against them during the game. Well done lads, you can hold your heads high - one of the best games of rugby I've ever seen. (From a Bok supporter)

[@chadtyers]

The french fans are beautiful people. As a South African fan i would like to see france win a world cup. They really are a fantastic team💪

[@ezrolly898]

The last game when we played France in the autumn internationals and lost is still my favourite game of all time. The only game in living memory where i actually felt good with the loss.

[@ZaraMurphy1001]

The ref wasn't fair to us, what is he talking about 😂

[@djjjewelz]

Love the fan reactions love being a rugby fan wish I was in France

[@france4me117]

Proud of France and yes, they where absolutely magnificent, but at the end of the day, 1 point and the Springboks advance to the next stage. I still say, France is the Best ever xoxox

[@braddaynes6885]

I'm sure it's heartbreaking to go out by one point at home, but the French can hold their heads up high. That was rugby of the highest calibre and truly could have gone either way. That game will echo throughout history as one of the greatest ever played. I know that I speak for all South Africans when I say that the French have earned our respect. Vive la France!

[@peter4health]

one of the best games I have ever seen. Quality, determination. Left a great legacy, whoever won or lost, the whole game won there.

[@Pihasanddunes1]

The Irish and French fans have embraced this world cup as a kind of poetic odyssey, as is their nature, with a sense that rightness will prevail. This weekend the All Blacks and Bokke have each completed another day working the office or the farm, where things are of the earth as much as the emotions. That they have done so with a sense of style (the ABs brilliance in creating Jordan's try, and the proud Bokke history of do-or-die epitomised by Etzebeth's crashing though against the odds) is a sign that their more grounded ways are no less poetic.

[@mikekelly5869]

Is that you Eric Cantona?

[@MrDude-ht3rv]

I’m a South African & Bok supporter all the way but man do I Respect the French players, they played extremely well & they have extremely good players. But well done to the Boks I’m proud to be a South African

[@Zaran812]

Let's go Springboks!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@stephenpike5858]

The difference was Colbys charge down to save the conversaiton. Never seen that before - what a player.

[@rnburley]

What a game. France you can be proud. 9 out of 10 game stats you dominated. The tenacity and sense of belief this bok team has though. Wow! It's a true travesty that Ireland and France are out so early due to the horrible pools.

[@angieleemans8316]

We won.Thanks Bokke it was challenging with French fans...

[@CathyBrown-yh6tk]

France played a brilliant game but we South Africa wanted it more❤🇿🇦

[@amandadassonville4043]

You might tel Libbok that. Those 2 points were crucial. And he missed it.

[@williamjohnpacker1563]

1:45 😂😂😂 At ve end of ve day I had breakfast haha I miss South Africa
