SA tackling has been superb; 1st player going low and jackelers to fast in after/ABs too slow to support.

I think Carly's right. Steyn was just running at him, he was never shaping to charge the ball.

So close to intercept, they're probably call that a yellow. The fix is on.

All Blacks within striking range and currently have the momentum. Boks are going to have to dig deep.

Piss off ref. That is not a deliberate knock on. That’s absolute horse shit.

Sorry Sefrica. Those last two penalties have been abysmal.

Jordie recovers from his life threatening leg injury and kicks the penalty.

Mehhh. Under the Laws it was always a pen. But I think there needs to be a difference when it's there as opposed to in your own 22.

Such bad reffing and TMOing - screwing with a really entertaining international match.

Again, I agree with Carly. Shooting out with one hand like that is commonly a pen up here.

De Allende is already at near maximum extension when making contact with the ball, he's not in a realistic position to gather it, he's simply being disruptive.


Mehrtens is just being a cranky old man.

Not Carley’s fault but the choke tackle rule is such anti rugby bullshit

It’s a knock on. Not a penalty. You NH types are dicks.

The ref is correct. The laws are stupid.

No. It's clearly a pen under the Laws. But any talk of yellow was ridiculous.
