Christ almighty. That’s a big red that’s he’s shat the bed on.

Pathetic. Kolbe's so, so fortunate.
Biggar's dive is pretty ugly...
Based on his comments right at the start to the captains Le Roux is incredibly lucky not to go. Credibility gone.
Curry lucky also. He escalated the situation.

That sound is a ref in a second test in SA v BIL series for a second time in a row bottling a SA red.
Gouger in ‘09?
Yeah.
Ach probably keeps the game a contest so there is that.

I wouldn't complain, but he was right there from the start, Le Roux came steaming in from miles away.

As an aside, when SA had 15 against 14, the first thing Pollard did was to hoof the ball away.

Something a lot of hookers do now. Much like being offside at the kick off, it's something the officials seem to have given up policing.

Ref said he landed on his back, so he didn’t see the replay too clearly.

Someone steams in, barges him in the back, catching him unawares and causing his face to smash against a teammate, and that's a dive?
Do you go to the same opticians as Ben "he landed on his back" O'Keefe?

Lions playing really well. Making tackles, contesting lineouts, forcing Bok penalties. Impressive display so far.
Boks need to get their act in order quick.

Yep, the hooker runs in and elbows him in the back. Biggar may have milked it a bit, but he was clearly fouled.

He was pretty quick to get up when the ref ignored him. Got the arms stretched outwide in indignation.

You are playing a set piece to set piece game centred on hoofing the ball away so
- missing pens
- not catching high balls
- losing lineouts
might have a bit of a drag on the success of that route.
