well it’s obviously hard to tell because the Boks won and therefore haven’t had supporters trawling through the game looking for mistakes. That’s why the loosing team always has more complaints.

For some examples though, SA had a huge scrum in the second half which they didn’t get a penalty from (we haven’t seen replays to see if there were any clear infringments but when have you seen a scrum get destroyed like that and not get penalised?), Kolisi’s yellow card could easily have been a penalty according to the head contact protocals, the penalty they went back for after the dissalowed NZ try was highly questionable. it looked like Eben made contact at the same time as Retalick’s foot hits the ground which means no penalty. If they don’t give this penalty then NZ don’t score a single try in the game and it isn’t close.

i have to ask though, what calls went against NZ? The penalty against Savea is arguable but not clearly wrong and Barnes didn’t appologise. All the cards for NZ were correct. I really don’t see what NZ has to complain about. They got very lucky with their only try and the game was only close because SA’s hooker got injured through an illegal clean out.

But how is having an additional 95kg forward such a safety risk? “Player safety” just seems to be a convenient excuse which doesnt hold up to scrutiny.

'Next step is eight-zero': Eddie applauds Springboks' 'bold and courageous' innovation to bench

There were a few long injury breaks.

A far from golden generation of forwards has left the All Blacks badly exposed

Ah okay, yeah I do remember him saying that. I thought it was an odd thing to say but didnt understand it as at the time I thought this was our official world cup squad.

So presumably he’s told the 4 scrumhalfs that they are still competing for world cup places and that one of them will be dropped should Pollard or Am be fit in time.

'Not ideal': Springboks name injured skipper for RWC but backline stars miss out as coach names FOUR halfbacks

But now that the squad has been named publicly surely they couldn’t just drop one of the named squad members for a returning player?

Or is Rassie far more ruthless than I think.

Imagine how good a combined Fiji and Georgia team would be.

What a strange and strangely angry comment. Rather disappointing to be honest.

I didn’t dog whistle anything. Yes I know the answer, but by only mentioning South African supporters I didn’t know if you knew the answer, hence my question.

Have some tea and relax.

The Wrap: Like Hillary at Everest Base Camp, Eddie Jones has a mountain ahead of him

I think they will take him without question if he stays fit.

He’s possibly our most talented player and worth taking a chance on

Surely this would be the case no matter which supporters were polled?

I saw endless complaining on here about BOK’s performance on the weekend.

Depending in how many of this weeks springbok side are drafted in to play the all blacks, this is probably the stronger of the two sides.

'Our plan from the outset': Springboks roll out second-string side for Wallabies with 13 stars to miss Test

What exactly is the insult?

World’s best tighthead lock?

Hmm, I’m sure Eztebeth plays 4 as well.

Very brave man walking through Sunnyside.

'Split squad', 'novice Bok 10': Why this is the Wallabies' best chance to 'exhume the Loftus graveyard'

It was clear, it was just that the broadcaster immediately cut away from the replay so the tmo must have missed it.

Because your comment said there were no headbutts. I have no idea why it wasn’t called, the tmo somehow didn’t see it.

It looked a clear red of it had been spotted.

Surprised AA didn’t get a red card for the clear headbutt

There was a clear headbutt from AA. The broadcaster cut away as soon as it was shown on replay. Go watch it again for the headbutt

Oh my God you can’t be serious.

Someone with a whiny Australian accent making negative comments about how any other country speaks?

Is it more or less shameful than the All Blacks selecting sevu reece?

Why should it be like a line out?

The kicking team has just as much rights to the ball. That isn’t the case in a lineout.

Poor baby.

The actions of a springbok shames all South Africans about as much as your childish and sad antics shame all New Zealanders.

You really need to get your eyes checked.

Also Gardner did check with the tmo if there was a need for a formal check. There was obviously no knock-on though so the try stood.

It’s definitely not kolisi.

My vote goes to savea or Jaco kriel.

Why Michael Hooper should have been World Rugby's player of the year

Kolbe didn’t play a single game after the lions series. Can’t even be considered

I probably agree on kolisi and Mapimpi but you’re wrong on Am and Marx.
Marx especially would walk into any other team and he’s been extremely impactful this year.
