Jesus, Greenwood, Etzebeth might be a big lad but if he's got no base to brace from of course Itoje will give him a shove.

Waiting for the replays, but that looked ugly from Faf on Murray.

Do not think that was intentional by Faf...but he might get a card

Murray should be off for a HIA too.

Been very disappointing so far. Maybe the expectations were unrealistic, but he's had zero impact when carrying the ball.

Hands up everyone who's surprised that after Rassie's meltdown and attacks on the referees rather than looking at south Africa's ill discipline, SA's discipline is somehow even worse this week

At some point the message about NOT TACKLING HIGH might sink in to some of these thickies.

I'm getting fed up with this being about ref decisions. Please can we see some rugby

Have to say the only replay we have seen of the Faf one suggests it requires a closer look.

Seems like absolute horseshit over the Faf 'tackle'.

That’s a yellow there for Fluff De Klerk?

Special type of thick by Etzebet to drop that maul.

His tackle technique is a menace to anyone around his height. I get that he's often the shortest bloke in a contest, but needs to learn to adjust. Or not if officials continue to not to sanction him properly...

I don’t think it’s been that bad. It’s building pressure and one of these teams is going to buckle badly just after half time.
