@ hakwa, sorry bro April fools was some months ago.
That was a legitimate and bone crunching tackle from Bizzy Bone. It was more carters positioning to receive the pass from A. Smith that had him in strife, had he been facing frontwards not side on he would have been able to sight the defender, and thus not receiving the pass in a bad position. Did not deserved to be yellowed, great match up ruin by the ref once again.

Wow, Mozart, you are a freking genius. A breath of fresh air. I agree SA will be a tough ask for the AB. Im sure the SA team will look to settle the score. I hope not with fists and what ever else. But with high calibre rugby that they are obviously capable of playing. I am disappointed that SA feel this way. I have no doubt the kiwis would also be the same if roles were reversed. As you said nothing can be done. But this will only add to the drama and conflict of Springbok vs All Black rugby for years to come and maybe that's a good thing, in time anyway.
I will have no issue going down to SA on there home turf. That is the SA version of Eden park. Not many places AB have been successful. Lets see what drama may unfold next time.....on days of our lives.

Agree with you in this case. However, for us to have a chance there are some urgent changes to the team - which needs to be made.
Number one - we need a proper half back pair. Steyn was atrocious yesterday. His kicking game was typical - poor. Not kicking out a penalty kick under the circumstances was almost criminal. His aimless kicking was back to normal and by that means he handed over possession to the opposition. Poor in defence as well. Pienaar was really the pits - missing tackles, poor passing, aimless kicking - all was in evidence.
We need at least one speedier loosie and we need a proper lock partner for Etzebeth - the present two (Kruger and Van der Merwe) are hopless.
Then we need a tighthead prop and we do not need useless Steenkamp.
We need a proper full back that can tackle - not a dummy like Kirchner.
