Just a stark reminder to all that says Rassie went too far…
Gatland started this. As Stick reiterated. Rassie did NOT do what Gatland did: Gatland first of all questioned and asked explanations about Fafs tackle. That was fine, he can. That was what Rassie did showing all the clips. And remember in that A Game there were 2 lion infringements with no arms head tackles by the lions that was pointed out that went un punished. Where Gatland took it (that Rassie did not do) was saying before the match that the TMO is likely to be partial…. Gatland therefor placed a question mark on the integrity of the game before it even started… but that was OK???? And Rassie cannot rightfully point out officiating blunders that created marginal calls that affect the outcome of such a high stakes game….
The criticism against Rassie is more hypocritical and absolutely synical…
Gatland has rights as he represents the British and Rassie is out of line just because…. no, other reason…
I frown on all who disparage such a Rugby genius and legend. He will have the whole SA’s backing… but he will be frowned upon because he touches a nerve and he is the man who last won the RWC by emphatically beating England … oh yes and winning the championship in 2019.
So he has the Brits, the kiwis and the Aussies (because they feel the ref is an Auz… so how can he be slated) against him.
He has more guts and balls than any other coach has.
And yes, I agree he will feel a bit of a twat if the boys loose today against BIL. But I feel that the wounded Boks are the most dangerous and will make us supporters proud today. It will be close though. Again fine margins. I just hope it is fair for both teams and that officiating is fair and without blunders. And please, give Kolisi the respect he deserves.
May the best team win …convincingly…

Has Rassie's 'Kool-Aid' gone stale?
