Horrific from Eben Etzebeth. Is this really the image World Rugby wants for its game?
Probably an accident
Not worth the wind up. Be that objective Bok fan that condemns thuggery

Hard to know when people are taking the piss or being serious at times but
Eben is a c*nt and deserves a lengthy ban
Anyone who votes Eben in the Fern TOTY is a c*nt
No ambiguity there

Bizarre behaviour coming onto the field with his team comfortably in control, being a 140 cap veteran and doing that ?
I might visit the Eben Facebook page and see how the rabid SA fans view the situation.
A long ban could end his career.

The Saffa's I follow on Twitter are really pissed off with Etzebeth. Think he's acted like a complete thug and damaged the team's reputation.

Here's hoping. Given the quantity of cards they have been getting lately for dangerous play, I think there's a chance they make an example of him.

Interesting. The FB group I used to follow ( I think it’s been shut down ) was full of the worst kind of SA munters, if it was still around I’m sure there’d be going on about the Welsh guy eying Etzebeth in the fingers….

I like to give someone the benefit of the doubt, but after watching it again he deserves the red. Read somewhere that it was retaliation for it being done to him that lead to the fracas, but that is not the way to respond.
Yep, ban him. No place for that in the game. -
@MN5 plenty of folk on SM pointing out other stuff (where a welsh hand was on his face but nowhere near the eye) as a way to try and justify it, and then the trolls with a pic of 4 RWCs...social media is a cesspit, but can be amusing.
What a brain explosion, that should be minimum of 12 weeks.

Sad day for Rugby?
Impressive day for Rugby?
A reality check.
Wales are way, way off. Only terrible All Blacks defence allowed them to paper over the massive cracks last week.
The Springboks are one of the very best teams of all time.
Wales are missing a few of their 1st XV. The have no depth. This week’s team would struggle to beat Tonga! They are a step down from last week, which made them cannon fodder for the Boks.
WRU should hang their heads in shame for arranging this fixture outside the official window. Heads need to roll.
It just seems like a massively pointless exercise.
Just indicative of how out of touch the WRU are, they knew full well what could happen but they didn't care. They could've arranged a game during the first week of November (when England played Australia and Ireland played NZ) against a lower ranked side but would rather make an extra few ££ by playing SA but throwing your players under the bus.
All four Welsh pro clubs are also playing this weekend, so the union has fucked them over too (again)My Welsh friend was apoplectic on FB this morning with a rant expressing this and many other points about the WRU, so I assumed it was a bad result, but jesus, ouch.
Eben should be banned from all rugby for enough time to make it not worth giving him a contract.

@MN5 scoreboard should have been pain enough.
Maybe the Welsh guy asked him to do it so he wouldn't have to look at it.

Yes.
You sign away a lot of your rights when you run onto a rugby field, but not all of them.
The civil authorities can always step in if they are not satisfied with the self-regulation.
In this particular case, i'd say the deciding factor would be if he had a permanent eye injury, and what action the rugby authorities took. -

Eben has always been prone to over the top reaction. Too bad, that he didn’t just punch the guy out. Dumb dumb dumb. The result will probably be that the instigator will get away scott free.
Tarnishes a great autumn season for the boks and makes a lot of people think the worst of the team. Sadly.people love to pile on, the team doesn’t deserve that.
