What was pedantic?
Saffers getting pinged as well.
I'm just wondering what Enz thought was pedantic? It was just after the Brodie clearing past the ruck pen for me, but different streams are at different times.

Reckon Pearce has been pretty damn good at the moment. Brodie needs to stop giving away blatant pens, or he'll find himself in trouble.

I’m pretty sure it was Brodie entering from side. Which 9 times out of ten gets let go for the attacking side if we are being honest!

Just from the side, yeah, I agree. But he went over a meter past where the player was on the ground as well. Just too blatant.

Harsh in that scrum would have been a penalty for going down to a knee, after moving his feet :lol:

Wish I could find a neutral commentary team sometimes. Would be nice not to have to listen to English commentary on England games too quite often (though I'd want it to be bok/nz/aus commentary, not home nations!).

UK/Sky kiwi commentators questioning every call that goes against the ABs is very balanced and makes for awesome viewing 👍

I thought Barrett and Bridge were good under the high ball. Failing the exam so far

Boks need to improve their kicking rather than stop I reckon. Although I guess more running would show if they can do that. The ABs defence is bloody good normally though, so kicking could be the better option, just needs to be good kicks, few too many sloppy ones.

Boks first up defence looking a bit questionable at the moment, ABs with some great footwork and carries breaking that line.

Pollard having a mare out there.

Can’t believe I’m saying it, but I’m glad we have Elton Jantjies on the bench today.

Correct call given the laws.

I still hate that law though.

Much better rugby from the Boks. Etsebeth, Fat Frans and Kwagga playing well. Holding thumbs for a working bom squad.

Jordie playing a blinder, defusing a lot of high ball and kicking all his goals.

Twilight's a silly time to play test rugby in Qld with the quickly changing light. Big issue in the first half, not at all in the second.
