Recall how the anti Rassie Brigade went ballistic after this loss. Of course when you point out to them the role play by the ref which collapases their vitriol they get into a overdrive of indignation!
Clips regarding crooked/incompetent refs are proliferating on You Tube!
clearly not a try, the guy was on the ground, shoulders pinned, and then used his legs to drive himself over.
However, I've seen many tries like this being awarded over the years. Players use to hit the ground and then get pushed over the line which is then deemed a try.
Remember the old rule whereby scrum where awarded if the ball is on the ground and the team moving forward got the ball. Probably same logic here.
That said, the rucks and break down area needs sorting out. However, we saw Eben been awarded a try when he jumped off the ground.
Exactly, but we are expected to accept these incredibly poor ref decisions. No complaining please these incompetents/biased refs are doing their best. The whole world can see the mistake and they have all the technology to at least get crucial decisions right but don't.
Then a man like Rassie steps up and points out how bad it is and gets crucified even by supposedly Bok supporters. Sorry but I don't for a second take these hapless creatures seriously !
p!$$ poor, but R00! says this is as good as it gets.
He is regarded as one of the best refs in the world even though he is biased.
Yes kingcorn Ebens try was also another example of poor refs but more importantly it shows that on average both sides gain from this poor standard of refs.
Poor standard and sad really from the guys with the whistle.
clearly not a try, the guy was on the ground,
How so. If anything, the video replays do not allow to conclude clearly that the player is on the ground.
Would be great to be enlightened about that. How so clearly this guy was on the ground.
Had we played good rugby, we'd have won. That's the bottom line everyone wants to avoid, because it's an uncomfortable truth. This is what Erasmus reduced us to, becoming a team of whiners, and not grown adults taking personal responsibility. I wonder if the likes of Damian and Steph have ever felt bad after their shambolic performances. What kind of ego is being fostered in the Bok camp? We saw it in Pollard's snarky remarks about critics of their diabolical performances. Erasmus has poisoned Bok rugby, and it seems we need to purge not only him, but those he has corrupted along the way.
The only enjoyable thing from this clip is where they invite you to ‘comment bellow(sic)’. They certainly were a bunch of sour grapes bellowing. These ‘slick’ Harrassmiss okes expose themselves every time.
Who is Alucard? Anyway, when your team is dropping balls, head-butting opponents, throwing forward passes, mistiming runs, exhibiting poor skills, making the wrong decisions, running into dead-ends, flopping all over the ruck... you have bigger problems than the referee Beano. You have coaching to do. So, stop pointing the finger elsewhere, and get this team up to standard.
"Who is Alucard? Anyway, when your team is dropping balls..."
LMAO!!! Who the fook is Alucard and why does he pretend to be a Lemur?
I think you need to stick to your prescribed dosage Db.
There was more than enough opportunities for the Boks to win the French game....we did not capitalize on those opportunities.....Fact....the Same counts for Irish Game.....stop using bad excuses to cover for the Short Comings of R&N in Gameplan, Abysmal players Selection, lack of Structured Attack Coaching, not enough player Depth and the general lack of Professionalism + Transparency....what utter nonsense to call us Haters when we actually want better for the Boks!!
So no answer.
