I watched the Bokke play in a pub in LA. I was surrounded by French supporters that had to deal with my shouting and table banging. I was the only supporter wearing a team jersey and I grabbed the bok logo when won and banged my heart in happiness and pure relief. Well done boys. I’ll watch the next game in another pub in Toronto next week. Go Bokke.

[@thomasorif3653]

Just to clarify a few things about the ref issue : Im french and that question from the French reporter was quite scummy. Dupont never said the "ref was bad". They said the following : - They admitted they thought the quality of the officiating didnt live up to the quality of the game, but that it wasnt that bad either - Then proceeding to say that, even if they were mistakes, Ben O'Keefe should never be targeted personally, and that there is an entire team of TMO behind him that didnt facilitate his work - That they would appreciate if further questions would not go on this terrain, as they dont want to criticise the ref - That whatever mistakes might have occured, it went both ways and favoured both FRA and SA alternatively - That wathever mistakes might have occured, they take nothing away from SA's win They were extremely fair and measured in their terms and they never wouldve mentioned the ref if the topic wasnt brought up in the first place (by that same reporter btw!!)

If there is a team and players who did not deserve to lose a game … it is this French team! Unfortunately only one team can win - and by luck of a bounce of a ball or Kolbe blocking a conversion ….

Still have a semifinal to deal with..settle down

[@duPreezLouis]

Yes, let's first beat England. One game at a time. England is not going to roll over and die

[@lukebaker3633]

Who would have thought that eng would be the only side reping the n hemisphere in the semi's. It's always going to be tough against them but they definitely not at their best atm

So sad..stupidly.I am crying.even if there are so much ugliest events now.....but it need a winner, you are the winner,Springbok..bravo. You went in Corsica. I have seen the Springbok in particular Kolisi. He is a very nice person. He played with the kids, they enjoy with the ball and he have funny mood. Many took take photo with him. I hope that you spend good time in Corsica. Now Kolisi head is on Corsican flag. We love you...good wishes for the next game until the final ... Go on and win. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🤝🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 🕊🕊🕊🌎🌎🌎🕊🕊🕊

A controversial comment about South Africa's quota system: why does every South African team have to have one mandated player - Percy Montgomery, Jean De Viliiers, Faff De Klerk - with flowing golden locks of blonde hair?

All aspects of the way the coaches and players approach rugby should be the blue print for the running of the whole of South Africa. Integriry, dignity, respect of others. Over riding ones own ego for the good of a bigger picture. It is truly beautiful and inspiring! 🌈

[@duanekuru4157]

Got on a plane when it was 19-19 all near half time. Had to wait 90 minutes before I could switch phone back on and see the result!!!! Amazing result as a K1w1 I know for 2 proud rugby nations like the NZ v Ireland it's the smallest of margins separating the top 4. Well done SA commiserations France. Good luck in the semi. See you in the final.
