[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 754911, member: 40658"] Why turn into a troll all of a sudden?? You had some pretty decent posts on this forum in the past, and now you come with this utter garbage?? It seems like you have a personal issue with Craig Joubert, and can't look at any match he's in charge of, objectively. He was fair, and he was correct in his officiating. The first yellow card was a Foul Play report from the TMO, and every person that knows his rugby would agree that a yellow was the correct call. It was no different than the yellow card that the England 10 got in the Australia game for his shoulder charge on Matt Giteau. Yet, I don't see you ***** and moan about that on the England vs. Australia thread. Dial it down a bit. There are only 12 referees appointed on the Elite panel for the World Cup, and they were picked to referee matches ahead of the start of the World Cup. He is not Samoan or Japanese, so he can officiate the match. When he was appointed, there was also no way of knowing that the outcome of this match could or would benefit South Africa in any way. Not that I think it would because both these teams were on equal points in the group before this match, so the winner would have gotten the points no matter what the outcome was. [/QUOTE]
