My apologies. Ref has final say.

What made this decision particularly perplexing for me was that the large screen in the stadium wasn't on. So he was particularly reliant on the TMO, but still overrode his decision.

To be fair 9 times out of 10 he would have been 100% correct in overriding a decision made by Rasta.

That reflected really bad on Rasta
He was the ref's eyes in this instance with no big screen
There wasn't contact to the head first. First contact was below the shoulder.
It looked to me the ref misunderstood what he meant and then Rasta just went along with it, joke shop

Rasta was clear from the start: “There was contact to the head”

He repeated it during his long explanation and from there the Ref had no choice. Not once did Rasta say “Yellow” either.

It was a dreadful decision and should have been a scrum to Bulls only.

Not first contact though
I think that's where the miscommunication was

It’s not a Sci-fi movie. He said contact only.

So we're on the same page, good

While it was initially suggested a yellow card, referee AJ Jacobs decided on the red – stating there were no mitigating factors and it was hit to the head

.

Yes he did.

Social media is alive with it....suggesting that 14 Bulls beat 17 Stormers

Bulls topping on 27
Sharks following on 24
Stormers lagging at 20
Cheetahs with a game in hand on 17 so can overtake Stormers
Lions 16
Pumas 7
Griquas 4

Sharks at home against the Bulls defnitief favorites in two weeks time. To open it up.

As much as the Bulls are the log leaders etc, I like what I see from the Sharks. They are going to surprise a team or two this season.

None of the Stomps want to discuss the number 10 position?

From memory it is only the Crazy Old Man from the Sea who is denying the Elephant in the room.

The rest would prefer him at 12 or 15 or to let him play at another club to get to mature a bit

I would quite happily have him continue at 10...He can have some fair matches against the weaker teams and against the better sides we can look forward to some wins against WP....

Currie Cup Team of the Week (Round 1)
Bulls wing Kurt-Lee Arendse celebratesBulls wing Kurt-Lee Arendse celebrates

DYLAN JACK identifies the standout South African players based on performances in the opening round of the Currie Cup.

The first round of the Currie Cup brought dramatic wins for the Vodacom Bulls and Lions, while the Sharks were far more comfortable in claiming a bonus-point victory over a depleted Pumas side which was without 11 players.

In Kimberley, the Lions came from a 17-3 deficit to take a 20-17 lead against Griquas before the game was called off due to heavy lightning. Meanwhile, a 14-man Bulls side produced a brave performance and scored a late converted try to snatch a 22-20 win over Western Province at Newlands.

There are seven Bulls players in this week’s team, including wing Kurt-Lee Arendse, who scored a brace of tries, and centre Cornal Hendricks, who defended his channel very well and set Arendse up for his first try. Flyhalf Chris Smith also makes it in after astutely producing a last-gasp assist with a cross-field kick and then slotting the winning conversion from the touchline. There are three Bulls forwards in Ruan Nortje, who poached a crucial lineout near his own tryline in the second half, prop Trevor Nyakane and hooker Johan Grobbelaar.

As disappointing as the defeat would have been for Western Province, there were still some good performances against the Bulls, particularly from their forwards. Juarno Augustus and Ernst van Rhyn both scored a try each and were strong in the carry, while Steven Kitshoff was once again one of the most impressive players on the park for the Cape side.

Despite the 45-10 scorline, the Sharks weren’t at their glittering best against the Pumas, but Sbu Nkosi and Jeremy Ward both scored two tries each. Nkosi made an excellent impact as a substitute, with one of his tries coming from a brilliant take out of the air from a kick-off. Ward, meanwhile, scored both of his tries from good defensive reads, forcing the Pumas into errors near their own tryline.

The Lions could count themselves fortunate to have come away with the win from Kimberley as up until the final 10 minutes of the first half, Griquas certainly had the better of the game. Zak Burger carried his form over from Super Rugby Unlocked, while Gideon van der Merwe was a nuisance at the breakdown for Griquas. The Lions do have one representative in lock Willem Alberts, who was typically bruising in a tough encounter.

CURRIE CUP TEAM OF THE WEEK (Round 1)
15 David Kriel (Bulls)
14 Sbu Nkosi (Sharks)
13 Jeremy Ward (Sharks)
12 Cornal Hendricks (Bulls)

Completely different kettle of fish under JW....you just cannot criticise him.
By the same token Herschel Jantjies is really going backwards. So go figure.....maybe its the coach you play under rather than anythng else.

Armchair ride behind that pack. Even Nohamba would look good.

Never nice to lose, but to run the Bulls that close was a good effort. They are way out in front at the moment, so to be the second best team in SA for now is a good effort.

I'd like to see us catch up towards the end of the Currie Cup tho.
