Back to people on this thread and the average SA supporter always complaining about the ref.
I just read the All Blacks FB page and one of their supporters complained about the ref. He was flooded and schooled by his fellow AB supporters and one even told him that he sounds like a Bok supporter.

Agreed in all fairness the ref wasn't great but if the shoe was on the other foot we would be screaming... Ref did slow the game prefer a ref that lets the margin calls go although TMO checking tries and foul play a good improvement overall

Its a friendly warmup game. It has no knockout consequence. That is why they don't care. If we lost I don't think we would have cared as much. Because they played with 13 men and then 14 men most of the game is why they don't care as much.
 
Personally think that World Rugby is on a drive to get game into line when it comes to safety, and refs will be enforcing the laws to the max...discipline is going to be key.,, teams that use to get away with murder, going to find it tough going...going to be an epic WC!

Once they have safety sorted, they need to sort out player ears. Some of ears looked like boils.

Also haircuts. Some of those AB haircuts made Elton Jantjies look respectable.

The ref clearly didn't want to become a YouTube star thanks to Rassie this week.

This game is an example of what happens when the Boks get their fair share of the 50/50's...

Libbok 5/5, let's hope that's the performance to give him the confidence to do it when it matters..

Yea, very happy to see him up his kicking game. Honestly, some of those kicks also just slipped inside the uprights (think I counted at least two), so not overly confident, but definitely a step in the right direction.

Penalty kicks to touch were top notch and his passing game was on point (probably the strongest part of his game).

World Rugby must investigate, somewhere, somehow there is favoritism....

After tonight's Scott"s well calculated 5 second lets think about it shoulder charge in to the ruck, World rugby must get involved,.
 
Why would they? It was a reckless clean but not overly malicious. When the guy you cleaning is 5cm off the ground, how you going to get under him to clean? He shouldn't have gone in. Marx was nowhere near the ball but these guys don't have 5 seconds to contemplate. It's a dynamic, fast moving, high impact sport.

The yellow card was right upheld and not upgraded to red. Because it was his 2nd yellow or got red but it won't require a hearing, cause it wasn't a straight red.
