RWC: Springboks - Samoa (30-09-2011, 20:30)

End of the day Williams deliberately hit him in the face which is worse than hitting someone on the arm for not letting go of your shirt. So red is the right colour

Watch it again mate.
Brussow hit Williams in the head and neck multiple times first

 

[Darwin]

Can someone explain to me the rightness of Tri-Nations except money making ?

Can anyone please explain why you haven't been banned for your constant trolling?

SA should have to have 8 in the scrum too.
Owens should knowing the 4ucken rules for gawds sake

 

[monkeypigeon]

Yup...experienced leader should start ahead of Bismark in every match. *sarcastic cough*

It was the arms. Anyway Williams was on the wrong by by grabbing Broussow's shirt whilst on the floor

Argh Samoa just aren't up to the top teams levels and who can blame them with the schedule they've had.

 

[JW.]

Brussouw has gone down in my book, he milked that and so did every SA waving there arms after every f*cking thing, you're supposed to be physical.

Samoa are awesome!

If he was "punched" in the face it would be a different story. But "hit" could be anything. What about that tap around the cheek dished out by one of the Springboks in the first half? (can't remember who it was)

It was BOTH- watch it again.

That wasn't malicious. The tap was to antagonise. Williams's hit was in anger

 

[Seaton]

People blaming Owens need to grow up
You're seeing what you want to see, he isn't pinging one side more than the other
I want Samoa to win a massive amount, but I can see that that Owens is doing well this match

Owens was justified in giving the red because he was told that Williams struck Brussouw "in the face" - he didn't see it so has to trust his TJ

100%

Saffas going crazy here, want Owens head on a platter. Who is the touch judge that recommended the red? Been a lot of handbags and ill temperedness in this game unfortunately...

 

[D0m3]

Pietersen put his hand on the ball while he is on the floor in the ruck at 1 meter from the try line. Isn't it foul play?

 

[Riekert]

Samoa vs SA what a cracker of a game. Congrats to Samoa they had a great game!!!!!

 

[FlukeArtist]

South Africa were very lucky.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Gutted for Samoa, really would have liked to see them go through
Just need to be more clinical and finish their chances, they're so dangerous with the ball in hand but get within 10m of the try line and their attack just breaks down

It was hardly a hit he pushed him in the face really after getting belted around the head, neck and arms. He was in the wrong hanging onto his shirt, but that was never a red card, touchy got sucked in by Brussouw acting like Cristiano Ronaldo.

 

[FlukeArtist]

That was a terrible display of ofiiciating

That's twice now.

Not sure if all the Saffers here should be as confident as they seem ahead of the Australia match.

 

[Bail]

This game is the shame of world rugby. Samoa lost only because IRB is conservative. How can such a team musn't play the best each year ? We call that unfairness.

How is antagonisim not malicious? The act is to provoke retaliation.
