So Antoine DuPont has a fractured cheekbone! Changes the landscape massively! Could be that they have lost their first choice 'brains trust' and I think that will be a massive issue for them

Love the RWC though.

You have to wonder what the French management were thinking leaving such an important player to them on the pitch when 54 points already up.

Hopefully, like Brad Barritt, they can chuck a steel plate in there are he can come straight back (assuming no concussion issues)

Soon be time for the No. 1 team v World Champions. Marker down for the best team in green. How will Ireland handle SA's power? Time for Ireland to show their mettle.

What a brutal brilliant half of rugby

Is the TMO on holiday today?

Considering Ireland couldn't win a line out for 20 mins, they've done well to go in ahead. Looking good against SA's "blitz" line. Let's see what happens when SA bring on pack v2.0.

The South African was tackled in the air and pushed down by the Irish player. Any other game thats a card.

Looked like he was brought down safely


Atmosphere sounds amazing


These two will surely meet in the final again

What a stunning brutal game , outstanding defence by Ireland but SA let them off a number of times with a good number of missed opportunities

SA will need to take on France now then - Ireland prob NZ

If SA didn't have Weghorst on kicking duty, it may have been a different story.
