Indeed
and even worse assistants!
It is rather annoying. It is not so much about the penalties we have conceded but the incidents that have been missed on the Irish side.

Well... 16 man Ireland won it....

Current world champions.
No, it demonstrates sport. If we were playing Uruguay then yes perhaps we should be concerned that we are debating the result but ireland completed the grand slam this year. They are not Uruguay.
No, they weren't. We were refereed out of the game. Every indiscretion of ours was picked up yet they got away with most things.

No they were not (the ref made sure there was no fair contest) and we are still world champions and we will remain that until the next world cup.

Hmmmm how interesting is this conversation by the "experts", Naas and John, re Ruan coming on for Morne! 
Now... we have been told to not let this become a versus thread but they just confirmed what some of us have been saying all along. Morne is the kicker. Ruan is the man to make the breaks.

Who won the game against France ? Or was that the singing bit?
Years ago I would have placed money on the game that we would have won the game handsomely. Today we sort of made excuses before the first kick off?? Brian O Driscoll did go through us twice as well.
Naas and panel also said that we did not play well. Playing like world champions?? We lost line outs and tactical kicking?
The panel decided that ref had a good game?
We are the champions of the world (as Sung by Queen)

Sorry but while the refereeing was rubbish (although do remember that Owens didn't spot the blatant high-tackle by Pieterson, which would've resulted in a penalty and yellow card), I think the Boks were too predictable. They made a few game-breaks, but generally we were tied down by the strong Irish defence. And we seemed to be kicking away possession a lot.
Yes until the next world cup. Let us hope that we put on a far better and impresive show then. How about ARG beating Scotland 9-6 ?
Yes we could have finished with only 14 players on the field. So a bit of luck on our side there.
