Jesse Kriel dropped from the matchday 23 as Andre Esterhuizen comes in at 12 & DDA shifts to 13



No PSdT; presumably as a result of his red card. Haven't seen any reports yet as to how long he will be sidelined for because of this. Evan Roos makes his debut off the bench with Franco Mostert perncilled in at 7. A new look lock pairing then with Orie and Moeraat, ostensibly a rotational switch to give Etzebeth a break as he is on the bench.

The disciplinary hearing is tomorrow, Wednesday 16 Nov 2022.
 
So, Bristol Bears vs SA A tonight at 21H30
Not sure I want to lose sleep over this game after the tripe that was dished up last week.
Hopefully we play better.

Surely, we have enough firepower to knock down Bristol Bears, right?

They are struggling in the Prem but exactly like Munster which are struggling in the URC.

Sold out stadium also.
 
What is this news about Rassie being suspended by World Rugby again?
 
Censorship at its best. Wow. Rassie was a bit annoying and doing more damage than good but the fact that World Rugby is censoring it like this and handing out bans left right and centre. Dublin HQ working hard I see.

Absolute nonsense man. Agreed it was getting a bit much but this is complete rubbish. Its actually unbelievable
 
Lol prime example of rugby being so far up its own ass:

Match officials are the backbone of the sport and without them there is no game. World Rugby condemns any public criticism of match official selection, performance or integrity, which undermines their role, the trust-based coach/match officials feedback process and the values of integrity, respect, solidarity and discipline that are at the heart of the sport.

Yeah. It was annoying af but the fact that world rugby convened a committee quickly at HQ in Dublin and applied sanctions so quickly without even a hearing is concerning. It comes across as them trying to hide stuff and if anyone speaks out publicly against World Rugby or even hint at officials getting calls wrong = immediate ban or sanction.

No matter how bad the visuals were they were giving the card. Almost 10min gone just on that review.

Ref says no mitigation but the visuals you can't even see anything.
 
Well, we are officially the whingers of the world. That title used to belomg to the poms but Rassie has made sure that title is firmly in SA hands now for many years to come.
 
@SAguy Will say I'm negative but is the worst performance ever. Last week was better they actually got worse.

Downward trend. If this is the pool of players we have to pick from for the national squad there is NOOOO hope.
 
Rassie has doomed any chance we may have had winning the RWC next year. Refs, the world, crowds etc hate us more than ever now.

SA 'A' seemed disheartened and not interested at all.

We are the second most penalised team at the moment w.r.t cards, only behind the Wallabies but we've got more reds thos year.

Twrrible discipline. Du Pond was France's first card of the year. Ireland has 2 cards whole year. England 5.

SA and AUS sit on double digits.

I've seen less mistakes from primary school rugby than tonight. A shambles would be putting it mildly.
