Three points:

Fiji giving the Welsh a real scare at the moment with Radraga killing it
So refreshing to watch a footy match where the ref is in control
The use of the video ref means we’ll be up till midnight. First half took 58 minutes!!!
 
With the advent of player safety and trying to negate the opportunity to being sued for serious injury, it astounds me that rugby scrums are still allowed to be so competitive. The force is incredible and I’ve seen many scrums buckle leading to one or two blokes having ridiculous pressures on their necks

I'm watching Wales v SA now and I think I saw what you're referring too... Welsh player with his head on the ground, neck bent... Two packs surrounding him probably a tonne or more of weight... If it collapsed it woulda been ugly

Unlike most on this forum I enjoy good rugby and appreciate the different skills required to league...but this final is like root canal therapy

Can't remember a final that isn't a highlight for those with insomnia
