But Du Toit took him out in the air...he was looking at the man the entire time, whether he dropped the ball or not is neither here nor there no?

Agreed.
Wales need to play more ball in hand and go through more phases to move this big SA pack around.

Re: RWC19 "Stuff"
Kick chase is key. So far the Welsh haven’t been at their best on this front.
Not a bad half time score for Wales...South Africa have bossed the gainline and to only be 3 points down is a decent return.
Re: RWC19 "Stuff"
Welsh 9 is having an awful game, takes an eternity to do everything.
Garces has missed 4 high tackles by our reckoning, I’ll never understand how he has been given a semi final above Barnes, it’s ruining the game
Re: RWC19 "Stuff"
A classic French refereeing performance imho. Still it is up to both teams to play to his interpretations. Think Wales will be delighted to only be 3 points down and if they can stay within a score they can still win this. If SA can get 8 points in front I think they go on to win.
Re: RWC19 "Stuff"
If it is an England Wales final, could we all agree to let Barnes and Owens do a half each, instead of allowing ineptitude of Garces, Poite, Peyper etc
Re: RWC19 "Stuff"
optimist - the way Moriarty kicked his foot up - I think he is very lucky. Very unatural position. If he had connected with a SA player - I think that would have been red.

Agree. He is inept in many areas of the game. Barnes would have been a great choice.
Re: RWC19 "Stuff"
On the plus side at least this semi final has a decent commentator
