    Honestly much rather be hammered by 20 points than to lose like this.

      I fucking hope Foster and Ryan come out and throw sour grapes.

      I seriously hope they won't.

      I fucking hope they do. We've been coping shit from fluffybunnies like Ireland, moaning and whinging, but fuck it. They got some real shit calls. If that were SA losing, the stadium would have been burned to the ground but now.

      Nah won't change the result. The time to whinge, in today's culture, is to whine before the game to effect the ref

      I know it won't change the result. But why should they lie down and cop that shit?

      Because it's pissing in the wind. Pointless, shoulda been whinging before about their water boys and stuff

        It reminds me netball back in the day. Play getting called way back because of some infraction that didn't hugely impact the game at the time

            Congratulations enjoy your day

            You should all be proud of your boys. Pushed us all the way despite never getting the rub of the green.

            I'm hugely proud. The forwards in particular were immense. Considering the start, the cards, the conditions, to fight back and finish like that was an incredible performance

            So close!

            We made you work for it!

            Fuck work for it. That game was in the balance until Barnes put us all out of our collective misery.

            That’s why we respect you, and, I hope, why it’s returned.

                  Cane was upright. He made connection with the head. The RC was the right decision given the directives, I’m afraid.

                  It was, but we are effectively sending players from the field for errors in judgement where they have missed their target, with no ill intent. I can't really think of another sport that does that and it hurts the spectacle.

                  @No-Quarter Bok supporter and I agree. A YC is appropriate, but not a RC. Perhaps extend the length of the YC to 15-20 minutes, but don’t eliminate the player altogether.

                    Rugby is a funny game.

                    We won the set piece. Had more ball, more carries, they made like 2 and a half the tackles we did. Made linebreaks. And we just couldn't win.

                      @nzzp yeah as I said above, I find this aspect most frustrating, I general play the TMO Will ignore knock ons, forward passes etc...but if a try is scored.he scours the game to find one to scrub it out.

                      I mean Barnes.saw that knock by Ardie, said it went back, let it go, so TMO has over ruled the ref (yes with the correct call) maybe justbhave spider cam and 3 refs sit in a room full of cameras and the whistle over over the loudspeaker...

                      I realise the game.would be even more stop start, but maybe need to go back to the days of the.ref asking for the input and they can only intervene on foul play.

                      Reminds me of that game when in SA when the TMO made a correct design but disregarded protocol. Now the balance has really tipped too far

                      "Dou you want more information, Nigel?" - "Yes" - "The last pass was forward". Remember that interaction, I think Jimmy Cowan was the passer or try scorer, and if memory serves me right, the TMO was a Saffer. In a game involving South Africa. Weird stuff

                        The one thing that I don't think we should let the coaching team and players off with is our poor discipline. We all knew this was a problem and has been a big problem over the last few years, so why have they not fixed it? Two yellows against Ireland and the cards today in the two biggest games of the year is simply unforgivable.

                        Cane was trying to get us up, and it kinda worked
                        Frizzell was carded for falling over
                        Savea was penalised for nothing.

                        Our discipline wasn't bad today. If cane is a fraction lower on a guy changing direction we're starting to put them under pressure

                            Well, I don't really know how to process that. I'm still gutted by the loss, but happy that we gave it a good nudge and scored the only try(s).

                            Card lottery. Knock on lottery. TMO lottery.

                            Jordan picked a bad day to have a bad game.

                            @sparky Shield Snorter BBBR was one of our best out there.

                              Were they smarter though? They got two YCs as well. So just as dumb as each other.

                              Still very surprised that the Kolisi one didn’t get upgraded.

                              For me the execution of two or three moments is what let us down. We were certainly good enough to put ourselves in a position to win the game.

                                Our outside backs conceded 16 turnovers - theirs conceded five. I think that's the nub of where we lost it.

                                Stats aye. I wonder what the turnover to possession ratio is?

                                  I have no problem with the outcome of either captain's card. Clear difference based on the framework and mitigation.

                                  Can you elaborate further ? How was Canes harsher than Kolisis ? ( i missed part of the latters as I was getting my third helping of bacon and eggs )

                                  Cane was upright, with reasonable force, direct contact. No mitigation.

                                  Kolisi had contact through the body, lowered himself a little, and the head contact was almost incidental like a whiplash.

                                  Seems they were looking for mitigation for Golden Boy.

                                  No mitigation for Cane for the sudden dip and change of direction?

                                    I think this meme is more accurate than the one with Barnes holding the cup.

                                    I don't think he was too bad, aside from that Faf knock on at the scrum made up call, but the TMO certainly got his share of the screen time.

                                    The only thing I'd really call Barnes out on was that he would call play it earlier for Smith than for Faf.

                                        What could we have done differently.

                                        I think Roigard on the bench could have given us what we needed at the death. I think we missed a few touches we would have liked to have again and I think we went for the corner too early when there were points on offer. Should Cane have made more of the forearm to the face. Probably squeaky wheel and all that. Finally I think dmac needed more time to work some magic for us. He looked dangerous with every touch.

                                          Oops sorry, we just had our all time worst player red carded in the final. What a big snooze!
