[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 670481, member: 40658"] Look, I'm not saying we are not to be blamed for the loss. But Duane Vermeulen's penalty in the first half was a shocker! It was almost the exact same type of tackle that Bismarck made on Carter last year. Then Habana's yellow was also just pathetic. Even after the touch judge talked to Clancy AND then JDV referring to the same type of tackle that just happened less than 2 minutes ago where no penalty was given. In total, 2 Shocking calls by the ref resulted in 17 points for Australia!! That is 8.5 points per call! Not even a converted try counts that much! I would have had no problem digesting this loss if it was fair. But give me some slack. I'm a passionate Springbok supporter and I have on numerous times voiced my opinion on the matter and how the Springboks are the international team that gets the wrong rub of the green regarding refs on a consistent basis. If it was one specific ref, it would have been easier to take like Stuart Dickenson, but it's not one ref. Paul Honiss, Bryce Lawrence, Romain Poite, George Clancy, to name a few off the top of my head. Anyways, I agree, Pienaar was once again terrible, but Morne Steyn was worse! I get that he had to start Steyn, due to the rookie having a poor show against Argentina, and Lambie having little game time with his injury. But Morne was dire! He missed his kicks, tackles and recievers!! Our props were better against the poorer scrum unit of the Aussies, so there's not much to say about our props. What was missing was Etzebeth! He was just too quiet to my liking, and he didn't look like he wanted to run with the ball. [/QUOTE]
