[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 870676, member: 39190"] IMO Lavanini's first yellow is thoroughly deserved. That arm was never extended and the front arm only comes in AFTER impact. Thorough shoulder charge through and through and aimed at the knee. Oosthuizen in doubt for Aus. Now I know its not his knee that is the concern but he got up gingerly and I know from experience a ****le here can easily translate to an actual injury elsewhere. I had a painful foot once from someone stamping on it and it affected how I went into contact and I ended up with a dead arm that had me off the pitch. Is the issue of Argentina's discipline not maybe imbedded deeper than the national side? I have over the years of Argentina's inclusion in both RC and SR come to the perception (real or not) that Argentine fans do not have a solid understanding of the rules of the game and expect that would probably also be the case for the test side. Also, if the fans are happy to be blaming the ref every time that does not put any pressure on the staff to seriously look at themselves for the problem. I don't mean that as an insult and know full well us South Africans also have a regular go at the referees. Just an observation. [/QUOTE]
