Defence rather attack has been a feature of this tournament

Until now

Jesus.  Are England allowed to surrender before the humiliation?

Insane! Genuinely the best 30 minutes of attacking rugby I've ever seen!

What a brilliant performance from both teams of France and S. Africa.

Whoever wins tonight, will win the World Cup!

"Another good game."
After 27 mins of tonights game I've changed my mind the previous game was dull as dishwater

I’m not much of a rugby fan, but I do enjoy tasting the bitter tears of certain STWers

“That’s not going to age well if England meet either SA or France.”

I can live with that. Semi finals is no shame.

Well we still made it further than other home nations.

Best half of the WC, in fact the best 40 mins I have seen for years.

I don’t know which way it’s going to go tonight but it looks like the WC winners come from this game.

I reckon I’m pig headed but AA and TJ take it to another level.<br />Although I think I would enjoy their company in real life

Honestly, I'm even more of a dickhead inbreal life!!

This game though is great, no idea how SA are staying in it.

50:50 on Eben coming back on I reckon

Truly breathtaking 1st half. Couldn’t call who is going to take it. Big call coming up on the yellow/red. I want to to be a yellow purely so the game continues like it has. Etzebeths knock back could have seen him off already if he had got that slightly wrong. Microscopic margins in this one

Good work, well done.

Irish fans must be seething!!

Scotland fans get to still kid themselves

I am a bit pissed off but tbh we exceeded expectations in the group and then blew it. The numbers on the Welsh jerseys for the Argentina game were a great metaphor for our play. Started bright and bold and ended crumbling to nothing!

We've seen cricket scores this tournament, looks like we're heading for a basket ball score.

Am I right in thinking that Scotland are the only home nations team to have played against teams ranked higher than themselves so far in this World Cup.....?

I think so.  Depends on the argentina ranking I think

That was weird. I'm not sure some of those number quite made kick off. 10 was obviously an issue, not fit biggar then Costello trying to win the game but not experienced enough yet.
We said 2 years ago that Scotland weren't get out the groups.
Ireland were just outplayed.
Not sure any of the home nations would be in this match. France and SA would/will be impossible to survive.

Well that was a tense finish to the England game. 

I think England's biggest strength is in their kicker, sounds like 2003 again.

Shame about Ireland losing to New Zealand again, I really thought they'd win the World Cup this time.

Here we go SA slowing the game by getting medics on.
