[2013 TRC] South Africa vs. Australia in Cape Town (28/09/2013)

[Aspry]

Well, that escalated quickly.

 

[Big Ewis]

oh God......

 

[Big Ewis]

17-3 eaaaaaaaasy.

 

[Draggs]

Haha awesome.

 

[Tony Manx]

This could be humiliation for the Aussies...............but what a match in prospect next week when the AB's come to town!!!

 

[Saint Matt]

Great rugby by the South Africa but that was woeful defensively. So many wrong decisions being made out wide once again.

 

[Aspry]

Penalty again...

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

Vuurhoutjie, we missed you so badly.

 

[Big Ewis]

OK both teams decided to switch to ping pong a little bit....bored with Rugby atm.

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

Hooper is a brilliant footballer but should stop making a habit of making dangerous tackles.

 

[Big Ewis]

OK, Saffas happy with "my countryman" there ? Yellow card Aussies...

 

[SelimNiai]

Not wanting being tackled like that to disrupt his usual rugby MO Elizabeth was straight into the scrap

 

[Saint Matt]

Fourie Du Preez having a great match as well so far. Distribution exceptional.

 

[Aspry]

Bad call. In my opinion Etzebeth jumped.

Should've been a penalty only.

 

[SelimNiai]

Thats definitely a yellow

 

[Big Ewis]

I agree. Yellow card SA.

 

[Tony Manx]

Bad call. In my opinion Etzebeth jumped.

Should've been a penalty only.

Agree but that should have been a red not a yellow......he led with the elbow, pushed in the face and knew what he was doing!

 

[Big Ewis]

23-3 at HT, OK, congratulations on the victory SA.

 

[Aristodemus]

That elbow was a real cheap shot.

 

[SelimNiai]

Agree but that should have been a red not a yellow......he led with the elbow, pushed in the face and knew what he was doing!

There is a case for that. In order to make the contact to the Aus player with the forearm, he had to actively place his left arm in a position where a standard wrap tackle is impossible, ie: effectively inside width of the Australian rather than outside.
