[June Tests 2018: 1st Test] South Africa vs. England (09/06/2018)

[All Black]

What a complete turnaround. England better hope it 'turns around' again

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

We are being reffed out of the game. I mean how the hell did he penalise is for a ruck offence when we didn't even have a player in the ruck!?

 

[ratsapprentice]

Mako with his second jackal.

 

[All Black]

Its a NZ ref. Interesting the ref wasnt brought into question when England was winning

 

[Ospervat]

Probably the best 40 minutes I've seen in a long time. I'm exhausted.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Defense is costing us currently.

 

[JohnKA]

well i guess the Springboks have arrived now !! Bokke !!

The player wasn't in the ruck, he was to the side of it, but his arm was still in it and on the ball and I thought that was what he was blowing. Didn't see the replay though so would be keen to see it again.

LCD on?

 

[SomeOke]

My heart can't take this.

I did, I said before the first SA try that the ruck reffing was inconsistent but suit yourself...

 

[All Black]

oh come on @noah_jo jo lol. Dont you find that interesting though? lol

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Simmonds off the bench would make a hell of an impact in such an open game. Just sayin'

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

The difference Pollard makes for the boks... jantjies will be out for a long time unless polard gets injured or something

 

[unrated]

Joh ! that was a rollercoaster of emotions. First three tries by England and South Africans stressing their asses of. Here we go again i though! a repeat of the Allister Coetzee era.

Just had to hold out to halftime so that the coach could please tell our wings to rather keep marking their man and to trust the defende on the inside. Yes even Damian de Allende because otherwise you create the overlap.

But well done on coming back. Game far from over going to be tense!

 

[mdaclarke]

WTF!! It's like both teams have agreed not to bother defending.

If you scroll up you can read previous replies and see it was being brought up all game

oh come on @noah_jo jo lol. Dont you find that interesting though? lol

U didn't seem to like my point earlier so I thought I'd return the favour

Lets just hope your team is not thinking about the ref. Crying at the ref could see the Boks get a record score line. They need to think about how they can get back in this. They need to look after their ball and make their tackles.
