As a Springbok fan a draw is nice.

For my Superbru come on NZL you need to win this.

Ooooooooooffffff that AB victory is going to be mired in controversy! Didn't have the sound on at work but did the ref actually call the Auzzies to use it or lose it??

Time wasting and I think the ref was very bold to enforce that law.

Agreed not sure how much time you have to take a penalty 60 seconds ? Will be interesting to hear from the experts afterwards.. I would be fuming if it was the Boks but stupid Aussies probably threw away our chance to win the Rugby Championship now

The ball is only out when it's out. Half of his team wasn't even looking.
And the ball is only in play once he kicks it, where was he going to kick it
Ref stopped the clock with 45s to go, told him once he blows the whistle he needs to take the penalty he will start the clock
Whistle blew and he took time waiting to play the ball
