I must agree with French coach n staff, nz referee favoured boks. There were 2 knock downs , both worse than Aaron smiths and easy sim bin. Boks had hands on ball when off feet , frequently and Okeef told them, All penalties if game was Npc or super rugby.
French game was less feverish than when they played the Abs,
Boks offside .
Can I reader tell me if boks no 11 legally charged down goal kick attempt?
Cheslin won the match for SA by that chargedown.
How am I supposed to go to work tomorrow?

Incredible game. Shame to see it decided by the ref's ineptitude. Was the VAR drunk?
Ben Smith must be having a stroke right about now, and where is Nigel and his split personality accounts?!
Great game from the Springboks and the French Best game of the tournament so far!
What a game. Both teams put it all out there. Well done France for an epic match. My heart stopped twice tonight. Go Bokke!
