Last year it was Bismaark on Carter, now we have 2 incidents against Australia.

 Sharkbok of course the Boks are too physical for OZ and NZ who bear the main brunt. The idea is to get the Boks to hold back and hence these yellows. 
Now the Boks must be wondering if they are allowed to put in a hard tackle and  most of all on wee mcaaaw! Imagine what woudl happen if Vermuelen flattened wee mcaaaw. He would be red carded and banned for months!
I would say both OZ and especially nz who started all this are very intimidated.

 Yep Hasbeeno, a team that has beaten the Kickboks 8 out of the last 9 games must surely be intimidated all right.....

Boks & their fans are so stuck on the "smash em up rugby" that they forget the scoreboard. 
Rugby is a physical game by design but if your mentality is that this is 90% of the game (the other 10% being kicking) then you have your focus on the wrong thing.

Physical but not dirty. There was nothing wrong with Vermeulen's tackle and Habana's was at best and at a stretch a penalty.
