Burger and Botha cited

Justin Harrison is one of the few players in professional rugby that will actually run half the length of the field to join someone else's fight.

I couldn't even see what Botha did....[/b]
Same as he always does
Drove into a ruck in a reckless manner with intent. He's more thug than Rugby player

Did anyone see Bismark standing over O'Driscoll in the 1st match threatening to flatten his face? Its blatant intimidation and the saffers are masters of it

Certainly did. That's Du Plessis in a nutshell though, thuggery is his game. Good player but f*** he's a nasty c***, you always see Smit close by him to calm him down 'cos he knows he'll do something stupid any minute.

Why it happened that only Lions' players were punished and humiliated and humiliated in this match?

Are we silently blaming Lions loss on that happenings?
 
Bakkie's citing is ridiculous and will get over turned. Can't believe that Sheridan wasn't cited after punching Bekker in the nuts, which is way more vicious and off the ball (no pun intended).

Burger on the other hand should get a lengthy ban.

After watching the video again, i agree with the others posting above, can't really see anything wrong with Bothas hit on Jones. Probably getting cited because of the damage it did, but i can't imagine anything coming from it
Though he was a c*** for the rest of the match, mocking the lions/getting a shove in wherever he can off the ball/just not exhibiting good sportsmanship - Him trying to start a fight with Sheridan after the charge down/shaw being offside springs to mind

I guess the referee was too strict in that situation ;)
 
Nothing wrong with the Botha incident, hes only in trouble cause the player got injured. If O Driscoll was still standing after collision with Rossouw then he would have been cited too.
Burger was a shocker, really let the country down, i would assume he would get the same 8 week banned as Parisse.
 
Agree with most posts. Bakkies incident is stupid, and should be ignored. Burger, can **** off for all i care. Proved everything i have been saying about him this year.
 
Only 8 weeks no chance. Parisse got 8 because it was "reckless but not intentional"

As eye-gouges go this was a doozy and he will get 12-18 week ban at least

You cant cite a guy for that. It was too funny to be punished.

Not so sure about that Lekso. Many B&I players got TIA'ed (This Is Africa), I'll be surprised if we see both props or centres playing next week.

Well I do not even question your players' skill and motivation

But believe when team has no Two of the World's Best rugby players, this gives some psychological advantage to opposers

I did see onece during a Leicester v Stade Francais game when Tim Stimpson ran 50m to join a fight, got there and promtley got floored as soon as he arrived.

Funniest things I have seen.

Here you got the photo of his brave act

Come on man this is rugby

What Botha did was technically illegal, and it is not allowed precisely because of how dangerous it is for the player over the ball. He is one dirty f***er though, Oh **** we are being destroyed at scrumtime, I know, I'll go and seriously injure their tighthead :toss:

Jones and Jenkins both had surgery last night BTW. Jenkins for a broken Jaw, and Jones obviously for a very badly dislocated shoulder.

Aha understand, every poster who stands for Lions says Botha is F88in *******

Every man who is for SA says Botha is good guy

Did not expect other ;)
 
8 weeks for burger is pretty f***in sad really.

2 weeks for Botha.

Makes no difference, its a dead rubber.
 
I feel Bakkies suspension is a bit harsh, but 8 weeks for Burger isn't enough he's a real thug and doesn't deserve to be on a rugby field.

Thats half your guys one eyed problem he punches Bekker in the nuts and it is funny! If that was a Bok it would be unacceptable. To define it for you it was cheap dirty and dangerous. Same reason why Julian white pumped him.
