    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.

    Fair enough. They looked about as harsh as eachothers to my ( untrained ) eye.

    Nisbo thought so too.

    Yeah. Nisbo also thinks anyone with dark skin in a green jersey is Mapimpi, so...

      Frizzell was carded for falling over

      That's the one we were really dudded on, I think.

      "A rugby collision", O'Keefe said - and that's basically what this was. They said as much when they didn't upgrade it. And handed the Boks the early momentum.

      I didn’t know the law / focus area of not allowing people to fall on exposed knees etc - ITV had the Irish ref on call who immediately called it as an issue, Barnes then reffed it exactly as he said he should. He was actually concerned it would be red. The fact we didn’t know about it doesn’t mean it wasn’t reffed correctly

      Which law?

      If he'd done it intentionally, it would have been red. Accidentally falling on someone is an accident.

        That final play sort of summed it up
        DMac somehow breaks the field open. Savea (who was exhausted) wasn't clean, and nor was ALB.

        I may be alone on this but I would have played DMac a lot earlier.

        @nostrildamus I would have swapped him for BB at the end. Richie was playing well and when he was running alongside Telea they were creating chances. Great footwork from both of them.

          I think losing by 20 after the red card would have been easier to take. But SAfrica (except for PSDT) played a stinker after the first 30. Should have, could have, would have. I hate being so invested in a fucking GAME of sports, it's not like my life is in any way changed because of this outcome...

            It didn’t look 100% accidental to me, at very best it was very careless, I think they gave him the benefit of the doubt on review - ie found mitigation

            Edit Also, accidentally hitting someone in the head isn’t ok, it can be, but isn’t always.

            Anyway, I don’t know the law or how it’s been told to be reffed well enough so am only going on what the ref in the studio said

                yes Richie played well and was brave.
                I think the entire ABs should be thanked actually, 2 cards down, not their day, they came close and gave it their all.
                So I came back to my earlier concerns about BB, cards, and Taylor (who was good enough for the call up but I'm not sure he's our #1 hooker) but really, they played as well as expected.
                And as we all said, our kicking lets us down.

                  20d, and intentionally is not mentioned in that law

                  Dangerous play in a ruck or maul.
                  A player must not charge into a ruck or maul. Charging includes any contact made without binding onto another player in the ruck or maul.
                  A player must not make contact with an opponent above the line of the shoulders.
                  A player must not intentionally collapse a ruck or a maul.
                  A player may lever the jackler out of the contest at the ruck but must not drop their weight onto them or target the lower limbs.

                            That's the one we were really dudded on, I think.

                            "A rugby collision", O'Keefe said - and that's basically what this was. They said as much when they didn't upgrade it. And handed the Boks the early momentum.

                            I didn’t know the law / focus area of not allowing people to fall on exposed knees etc - ITV had the Irish ref on call who immediately called it as an issue, Barnes then reffed it exactly as he said he should. He was actually concerned it would be red. The fact we didn’t know about it doesn’t mean it wasn’t reffed correctly

                            Which law?

                            If he'd done it intentionally, it would have been red. Accidentally falling on someone is an accident.

                            It didn’t look 100% accidental to me, at very best it was very careless, I think they gave him the benefit of the doubt on review - ie found mitigation

                            Kitzhoff forearmed him in the face and he fell over didn't he? Watch it again, context is clearly optional for these officials

                              That final play sort of summed it up
                              DMac somehow breaks the field open. Savea (who was exhausted) wasn't clean, and nor was ALB.

                              I may be alone on this but I would have played DMac a lot earlier.

                              No, it was clear that the game was crying out for his skill set

                                    Yeah agree, that's the winning of the game and it was a mistake (no malice he just fucked up like all humans do on occasion) - why can't Barnes just say "I fucked up, lets have a Bok scrum here as a restart"?

                                      ok time to flush the dunny, thank the old timers for their splendid service, and move on.
                                      And congrats again to the Boks for winning a point in a row 3 times. Talk about dedication to the mission.

                                        Basically up until the red card, I thought Springboks win it easy, they were by far the better team, because they tackled the ABs backwards, won the kicking duel. Ever since the RC, I thought ABs had the upper hand. Very exciting game, though the quality was a bit shit, I guess

                                        Defence wins RWCs. The Boks take a 5 point advantage into every match simply due to the way they defend. No other team does the blitz D quite like them.

                                        As sorry as I feel for Cane as I like him immensely as a person, how can you lose your discipline in a final like that. A yellow is bad enough and can cost you the final, a red is unacceptable.

                                        If that was the case we should have won. They couldn't score a try against us and essentially won the game on a non penalty. 🙂

                                          That final play sort of summed it up
                                          DMac somehow breaks the field open. Savea (who was exhausted) wasn't clean, and nor was ALB.

                                          I may be alone on this but I would have played DMac a lot earlier.

                                          No, it was clear that the game was crying out for his skill set

                                          If I was to be super critical of the coaches, there was a window with 10 or 11 minutes to go where I thought DMac on for Barrett and the game might open up for us. In hindsight and with the 2nd Boks YC, it probably would’ve.

                                          Beaudy was pretty awful, under the high ball, kicking, decisions etc. I would have put DMac back there at half time

                                          He just went to pieces didn't he? We were lucky he didn't take us out of the running altogether
